While a bipartisan senate group had reportedly reached an "agreement in principle" on DACA, as well as packaging immigration reform in order to avoid a government shutdown next Friday, things took another turn for the bizarre, when the WaPo reported that Trump "grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries" as part of the proposed deal.
"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump burst out, referring to African countries and Haiti. Instead, he suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway.
The comments left lawmakers "taken aback."
Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed cutting the visa lottery program by 50 percent and prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.
As reported earlier, the administration announced this week that it was removing the protection for over 200,000 citizens from El Salvador; meanwhile, as part of a potential bipartisan deal, lawmakers discussed restoring protections for countries that have been removed from the temporary protected status program while adding $1.5 billion for a border wall and making changes to the visa lottery system.
And, as so often happens, what was until noon a tentative deal, exploded in the afternoon when Trump changed his mind:
Trump had seemed amenable to a deal earlier in the day during phone calls, aides said, but shifted his position in the meeting and did not seem interested.
As a result, what was until just hours ago a done deal, is now in tatters.
Graham and Durbin thought they would be meeting with Trump alone and were surprised to find immigration hard-liners such as Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) at the meeting. The meeting was impromptu and came after phone calls Thursday morning, Capitol Hill aides said.
After the meeting, Marc Short, Trump’s legislative aide, said the White House was nowhere near a bipartisan deal on immigration.
“We still think we can get there,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at the daily White House news briefing.
Or maybe not, in which case a government shutdown may be inevitable.
Oh, and as for the White House, it refused to deny that Trump said it.

I would assume Norway is just as influenced by the JBankers as any other country with a private central bank since they are all owned by the same group.
So that's not a reason for Norwegians not to come to the USA. Of course the low rent millenial antifa types are a good reason not to come.

Too bad shit hole immigration wasn't cut off before a certain kenyan nigger got in.
Any new immigrant should be denied welfare for at least 10 years. Have a points system that only allow those with job skills, and if they can't integrate they have to leave.

We all really want to think that Trump is a swamp-draining renegade... but is he really?
Time will tell and we will know the truth...
The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill to renew the National Security Agency's warrantless internet surveillance program, overcoming objections from privacy advocates and confusion prompted by morning tweets from President Donald Trump that initially questioned the spying tool.
The legislation, which passed 256-164 and split party lines, is the culmination of a yearslong debate in Congress on the proper scope of U.S. intelligence collection - one fueled by the 2013 disclosures of classified surveillance secrets by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Senior Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives had urged cancellation of the vote after Trump appeared to cast doubt on the merits of the program, but Republicans forged ahead.
Trump initially said on Twitter that the surveillance program, first created in secret after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and later legally authorized by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, had been used against him but later said it was needed.
Some conservative, libertarian-leaning Republicans and liberal Democrats attempted to persuade colleagues to include more privacy protections. They failed on Thursday to pass an amendment to include a warrant requirement before the NSA or other intelligence agencies could scrutinize communications belonging to Americans whose data is incidentally collected.

Trump: "Why Are We Having All These People From Shithole Countries Come Here?"
My response: Isn't that why we give foreign aide in the first place? Not sure what triggered this comment, but there is a lot of truth in the comment that asks a very legitimate question although I would have phrased it differently. Disease is one of the biggest threats from third world nations without means to combat health issues.
Thanks to poor, illegal policies of "OBOZO", immigration is a mess. Of course "OBOZO's" policies were by design because it is only people from "shithole" countries who vote for DEMOCRATS.
President TRUMP needs to quit shooting himself in the foot by making any detracting comment around those people who are out to detract from his great work to date.
