Left wonders where we go on immigration after Trump’s vulgar comments

On Thursday, President Donald Trump questioned, in vulgar terms, according to reports, why the United States allows immigrants from Haiti and countries in Africa to come to the United States. A roundup of editorials Friday dissects Trump's words on immigration, and where the conversation goes from here. (Note: These editorials contain crude language.)

Opinions from the left:

1. Why Trump can’t understand Immigration from ‘sh**hole countries’

From The Atlantic: Why can’t the president imagine Haitians or Africans as part of the fabric of this country?

2. There's no way to pretty up Trump's 'sh**hole' comments

The Washington Post: There is no getting around it, the president said what he feels in the immigration meeting.

3. So, Mr. President, would you say South Florida is a ‘sh**hole’ too?

From The Miami Herald: Mr. President, immigrants from Haiti and Africa are looking for the promise of a better life in this country.
