Trump makes disparaging comments about immigrants in Oval Office outburst

President Donald Trump questioned why the US should permit more immigrants from "shithole countries" after senators discussed revamping rules affecting entrants from Africa and Haiti, sources said.

Trump made the remark in the Oval Office as two politicians described details to him of a bipartisan compromise among six senators that would extend protections against deportation for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants and strengthen border protections.
