That was not directed at all immigrants. That was directed at MS-13

@Scubaguy027 He said, “immigrants”. Isn’t you folks’ main point of pride about Trump is that “he says what he means ” ? But when he makes ugly, racist comments all of a sudden he requires a translator or was “taken out of context” ? Can’t have it both ways.

@bijouxbroussard his response was a direct answer to a direct question about MS-13. You tend to forget his wife is an immigrant as well

@Scubaguy027 No, you that forget that he has no problem with European immigrants. Only the “sh*tholes”(his word) where people of color come from.

@Scubaguy027 his wife is a white immigrant. Hmm...

@bijouxbroussard immigrants an immigrant and you are mistaken on him only having an issue with non white immigrants Try seeing past your own prejudice and see the bigger picture. You are letting your dislike of him blinding you to the reality of the world

@Scubaguy027 Trump differentiates, and did even when he was campaigning. He said he wanted “more European immigrants”. I don’t know how much clearer he could’ve made it—until he made the “sh*thole” comments. And you’re letting your admiration for him blind you to who he really is. If you’re not seeing that, it’s because you simply don’t choose to. I also don’t understand how someone who served could still admire Trump after the way he and his staff have trashed John McCain, and he’s a fellow Republican. Maybe you can explain that, while you’re at it.

@bijouxbroussard i support the office of the President of the United States regardless of my personal feelings on who is in office. Keep in mind my admiration as you put it may not be what you think it is.
As far as McCain is concerned, yes the comments that have been made about him have been completely out of line and never should have been said. That is something I think we can both agree on.
McCain himself lost my respect a few years ago with a few of his actions during the latter part of President Obama's administration, for me personally I don't care to hear his thoughts on anything any longer and he has not been relevent to me in about five years, he does still have my respect as a Veteran and that is something that will never change.
As far as his shithole comment, I have been to a few of the countries he said that about and as bad of an analogy as that is it's not that far off of the mark. That was a statement that while I agree with it should have been phrased much differently.
I will look for some clips of his speeches about immigration with more from white European countries, i vaguely remember it but truthfully I didn't pay much attention to President Trump or Hilary Clinton. To this day I firmly believe the lesser of two evils was elected

@Scubaguy027 I don’t share McCain’s politics at all. But I respect that he served and survived being a POW. Trump should’ve lost any support by the military the moment during his campaign that he made that crack about preferring people “who weren’t captured”. Coming from someone with five deferments, that was a slap in the face to anyone who served, especially those who returned with devastating injuries.
