re: You guys realize the word "shithole" isn't what people are upset about, right?

I don't think that's the clear insinuation at all. I think the insinuation is that people from underdeveloped countries probably don't have marketable skills that will benefit America. The result is that these people are more likely to become a drag on American resources. So Trump is looking out for America more than he is looking out for immigrants from other countries. Is that so wrong?
Oh really?

Perhaps most surprising is that, by many measures, the most-educated immigrant group in the U.S. isn't East Asians. It’s Africans.

According to Census data, more than 43 percent of African immigrants hold a bachelor’s degree or higher -- slightly more than immigrants from East Asia. Nigerian immigrants are especially educated, with almost two-thirds holding college degrees -- a significantly higher percentage even than Chinese or South Korean immigrants. African immigrants are also very likely to hold advanced degrees, many of which are earned at U.S. universities. By many measures, African immigrants are as far ahead of American whites in the educational achievement as whites are ahead of African-Americans.
Huh, weird

Great post. I can't comprehend why so many posters here are lumping in African immigrants with the usual illegal Mexican immigrant conversation.
It's completely, completely different.
I'm usually 100% with this group when we're collectively bashing SJW idiots, but so many posters are wrong on this.

Great, so sounds like we can cut our immigration from Africa by at least 57%.

The article you linked doesn't mention what the Nigerian degrees are in. So what are they in? What marketable skills do they have? And fwiw, I have known some Nigerian immigrants and they are great. Hard working, industrious, grateful to be in America.
