Immigration: Donald Trump repeats his insult against African countries at a rally in Georgia

At a rally in Perry, Georgia, on October 24, 2026, Donald Trump accused Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff of supporting the arrival of migrants from Libya, Yemen, Haiti and Somalia, again calling those countries “shithole countries.” The bill he referred to, introduced in the Senate on June 17 by Ed Markey and other Democrats, seeks to grant Haitians temporary protected status. Trump also claimed that 98% of Somalis living in the United States do not work and accused them of stealing. He denied making similar remarks in 2018, but acknowledged them at a Pennsylvania rally in December 2025.
