If These Countries Aren't Shitholes, Why Do Other Countries Have to Offer Aid and Refugee Status to Help People Escape Them?

Apparently economic migrants come from countries with great economies, and people seeking political asylum hail from well-functioning democracies.

Let’s be clear about one thing here: Haiti is a shithole. I’ve been there twice. It has a cholera epidemic thanks to the United Nations and a burgeoning child sex trafficking problem thanks to the predilections of evil people. It is really a hellish place. But the whole point of the temporary status welcoming immigrants from these countries is based on them being real shitholes – places so dangerous and awful that we won’t send refugees from them back to the countries because they’ll probably die, or worse. That’s the whole point of granting this policy in the first place.

It's not the words they object to. They're going into faux-outrage about word choice to win on a substantive point -- which they don't actually want to talk about, because they'll lose on that.

See James Comey, for example:

Exactly. The words "wretched refuse" there are fine to James Comey and other hard-core liberal Democrat partisans because, whether you're calling the people Pure Trash or not, you're letting that Trash in.

Trump's sin is not calling obvious shitholes shitholes, but in asking the question, "Why are we obligated to take other countries' problems into our own?"

The progs and Establishment cucks can't answer that question, so they want to argue about whether we should call the countries this wretched refuse comes from "shitholes" or the kinder, gentler term Garbage Pits of Wretched Refuse.
