Trump: 'I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed'

"It was a meeting of 12 people".

She has further admitted that Trump "tells things like they are" and sometimes uses "tough language". The fact of the matter is that Trump is a dyed-in-the-wool, albeit possibly unconscious, racist.

In other immigration news, Nielsen told lawmakers there is an ongoing surge in illegal crossings of the Mexican border in recent months, as the feds have noted a definite increase in both unaccompanied children and families trying to make it into the United States. Lindsey Graham termed an "s-storm" with his Oval Office remarks. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, who was in the meeting, also confirmed Trump made the remark, although some Republican senators in the room said they did not remember hearing it. "We can not do this with people in charge at the White House who have an irrational view of how to fix immigration", Graham said.

But the President himself and his top advisers continued to tell reporters on Wednesday that the bill was not what the White House was looking for, virtually assuring the measure had no chance of moving forward as it is. National Review editor Rich Lowry said the president didn't use the word sh*thole but rather, sh*thouse.

There is internal debate in the West Wing over whether Trump said "shithole" or "shithouse".

Co-host Meghan McCain asked Durbin if publicly disclosing what Trump said hurt any progress being made on a deal on the fate of almost 800,000 Dreamers - immigrants brought into the U.S.as children.

To look more closely at this, I used individual 2011 Canadian census data (detailed 2016 data isn't yet available) to look at three groups: Canadians whose families have been here for three generations or longer; immigrants from the "Norways" of the world (Northern and Western Europe, including the U.K., Germany, and Scandanavia) and immigrants from Trump's "shithole" countries (Central America, the Caribbean, Africa). Trump wasn't apologetic and denied he was racist, said the confidant, who wasn't authorized to disclose a private conversation and spoke on condition of anonymity. Democrats also want Republicans to match military spending that Trump and many GOP lawmakers are seeking with an equal increase in nondefense funding. Dick Durbin of IL and Republican Sen.

"Jordan called for an end to chain migration, which has allowed millions upon millions of low-skilled foreign nationals to compete for opportunities and resources against our most vulnerable citizens, many who come from African-American and Hispanic-American communities", the statement from President Donald Trump says.

Trump indicated he would avoid endorsing candidates in Republican primaries, as he did previous year in Alabama's Senate race, when the incumbent he endorsed was defeated by a hard-line conservative challenger, and would likely focus on the November general election in which Democrats are trying to wrest control of Congress from the Republicans. Paul said Trump was a major financial backer of the trip, which Paul used to perform cataract surgeries for about 200 poor people. "And that's the fearful thing for us because it's with you, and it's around every day", James said. Tom Cotton said in a Friday statement that they did not recall the "sh-hole" comment, and Cotton on Sunday also accused Durbin of misrepresenting Trump's comments.

"I can just say what was described in the meeting I had was identical to what was reported later in the news", Flake said.

Here's what happened: Trump concluded, correctly, that Durbin and Graham were playing him.
