Ex-president avoided past ‘shithole countries’ racist invective, but said the US hadn’t gotten enough immigrants from ‘nice countries’
Donald Trump bemoaned a lack of immigrants to the US from “nice” countries “like Denmark [or] Switzerland”, offering millionaire donors at a Florida fundraiser a reprise of infamous racist Oval Office remarks about people coming to America from “shithole countries”.
Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for president again, despite facing 88 criminal charges and multimillion-dollar civil penalties for tax fraud and defamation, the latter arising from a rape allegation a judge called “substantially true”.
According to the New York Times, which cited an unnamed attendee at the Saturday event in Palm Beach, Trump told his audience: “These are people coming in from prisons and jails. They’re coming in from just unbelievable places and countries, countries that are a disaster.
“And when I said, you know, ‘Why can’t we allow people to come in from nice countries,’ I’m trying to be nice. Nice countries, you know like Denmark, Switzerland? Do we have any people coming in from Denmark? How about Switzerland? How about Norway?”
I’m a Brit. Thinking about US universities for my kid in a few years.
Think i can stay there for a few years while he studies ? No chance.
I hope you’re independently wealthy.
Is that uncommon though?
Isn’t it much more common for immigration laws to prioritize the dependents of a student, not the parents or guardian or a student m?
Didn’t Melania’s parents get fast tracked? Because she was a model?
Good question. Although I’m mostly referring to people remaining in a country on some sort of student visa.
Bruv. The high demand private universities here are fucking $80,000/year now. State schools more like $35,000. Shit’s fucked.
wow it would only take 2-3 life insurance policies to cover that.
Get them to do a year abroad.
Or go Sydney instead.
Why a US university?
Networking, mainly . And he doesn’t speak much Chinese
What about a good Canadian university instead? Some great schools and opportunities here, and no guns.
