>       President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the
>       Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for
>       immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as
>       part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people
>       briefed on the meeting.  "Why are we having all these people
>       from shithole countries come here?" Trump said, according to
>       these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He
>       then suggested that the United States should instead bring
>       more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister
>       he met yesterday.  The comments left lawmakers taken aback,
>       according to people familiar with their reactions.
