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.)
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.
