Trump denies saying he doesn't want immigrants from dirty places.

Trump surprised lawmakers Thursday during his meeting with immigration lawmakers when referring to Haiti and African countries with an inappropriate word.

“The word used by it can be translated roughly as dirty and poor “”.

Trump said the United States should allow more people from countries such as Norway, whose prime minister met with him at the White House on Wednesday.

But today, in a Twitter comment, the president denied using words that the media are referring to:

“juha used by me in the appointment for DACA was tough, but not what it says. In fact, harsh was the strange proposal made at the meetings, which was a big step back to DACA n”, Trump wrote.

The president referred to the programme, which protects about 800 thousand new immigrants from deportation, brought to the US illegally from their parents when they were children.

According to reports, President Trump made comments when Senator Dick Durbin, Democrat from the state of Ilinoi, was explaining the framework of an agreement reached by six senators of both parties, aimed at protecting from deportation of these new immigrants, as well as strengthening border safety.

The president reacted today on Twitter, saying he referred to countries with bad results and that he requires a merit-based immigration system to bring in people who put America ahead.

I want security for our people, I want to stop the massive flow of drugs, I want the funding of the army, not as the Democrats seeking to remove the funds”, President Trump wrote. /voa
