The Tweeter-in-Chief wants to know why we can’t get immigrants from countries like Norway? It’s not rocket science: Why would they leave a country with better health care, longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality, better education, more equal income distribution, better pensions and with leaders who speak multiple languages at better than a fourth-grade level?

Incidentally, Norway has actually accepted immigrants from quite a few countries that would fall into his s**hole category. Finally, a memo to the U.N. Ambassador: The T-I-C probably thinks India is a s**hole country too.
