I agree Haiti is a sh*thole country. But i think he said something like "why are we letting people in from these sh*thole countries". The answer to that, and it's sad that he doesn't already know this...is empathy.
Another acceptable answer would be, "because that's what America is about - opportunity".
Yet a third answer would be "we have sh*thole cities in America. People who come here from other sh*thole countries, are far more likely to become productive citizens and send their kids to medical school, than drug addicted welfare recipients currently living in Chicago. Because many immigrants come here and cannot believe how awesome it is, whereas people already here, take it for granted".
