UN says Trump slur on 'shithole' countries is 'shocking' and 'racist'
According to an article by Reuters, Trump is said to have referred to some as "shithole countries", as per two sources familiar with the comments.
The Post's report said Trump asked why the United States would need more Haitians and suggested the government "take them out".
Thursday's meeting was to discuss a compromise under which DACA would be preserved but a visa lottery and a policy allowing legal immigrants to bring family members into the country would be ended. That was during a discussion of groups that have temporary protected status in the US due to disasters or political upheaval in their home countries. "I'm not sure." How many examples do you need of this?
"The president calling #Haiti a "shithole country" ignores the contributions thousands of Haitians have made to our #SoFla community and nation", Ros-Lehtinen posted on Twitter. Trump is seen here speaking at an immigration with a bipartisan group of lawmakers.
Trump reportedly surprised the lawmakers present by saying th US should not accept more immigrants from Haiti and "shithole countries" in Africa.
The remarks stirred criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, along with the mainstream media.

Hopes for a new government in Germany sent the euro and markets higher Friday on relief that the Europe's biggest economy might soon get stable leadership.
In its initial response to the controversy, the White House did not deny the account of the meeting, or directly address the "sh#thole countries" comment. He went on to criticize the immigration deal, saying: "What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!"
"Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people", White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah said.
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, who was at the Thursday meeting, also said the president made the vulgar remarks.
But it wasn't just Democrats objecting.
Richard Durbin of IL said he was in the room and that media accounts of what Trump said are accurate.
The African nation said it had accepted U.S. citizens over the years, including senior government officials, which is "why we view the utterances by the current American President as highly irresponsible, reprehensible, and racist".
