>> "What Trump was saying is that because Haiti is a shithole, my Haitian neighbors should be rounded up and sent back there" You're projecting. Trump's comment was that we should discourage immigration from places with low-skill labor. There was nothing in his statement about rounding up existing legal immigrants and revoking their citizenship.

You're giving him way too much credit. And he's already taking concrete steps to round up Haitians and send them back.

  Your comment asserted that Trump's purported "sh--hole" comment referred to rounding up legal US immigrants and revoking their citizenship. I challenged that; the President was referring to discouraging immigration from nations with low-skilled labor. (It has nothing to do with existing immigrants. It has nothing to do with race; otherwise we would have to say President Obama was an anti-Semite for his administration calling[0] Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu "chickensh--") Now you are saying that the President is taking steps to round up legal Haitian immigrants and revoke their citizenship. That doesn't address the issue about the "sh--hole comment" -- you're moving the goalposts -- nor did you cite sources to make that assertion.

      This is precisely what I'm talking about. It shows the President limiting the number of temporary work visas for low-skill workers. The original comment said that the President was revoking citizenship for legal citizens based on race. That's what I challenged as false. And your link confirms this.

Where did he say anything about low skill labor? Now you are projecting

  Nope. Read the article[0], the temporary work visas on the chopping block apply only to low-skill workers without higher education.
