US President Donald Trump has reposted a podcast by American radio host Michael Savage in which India, China and other nations were described as “hell holes".
In the episode, Savage had railed against the United States’ birthright citizenship law, alleging that immigrants from Asia exploit the system through “birth tourism” and welfare abuse. Savage alleged that people from the two Asian nations come to the US to "drop a baby in the ninth month", and the law turns them into "instant" US citizens.
The radio host called for a national referendum instead of leaving this matter to the courts.
Trump shares transcript
Trump shared the transcript and video of Savage Nation on his Truth Social platform, which said, "A baby here becomes an instant citizen, and then they bring in their entire family from China, or India, or some other hell-hole on the planet".
Trump shared this transcript a day after falsely claiming in a CNBC interview that no other country offers birthright citizenship. In reality, about three dozen nations — including Canada, Mexico and most of South America — grant automatic citizenship to children born on their soil.
'Gangsters with laptops'
Savage’s remarks included calling Indian and Chinese immigrants “gangsters with laptops” and accusing them of undermining American workers. "They've done more damage to this nation than all the mafia families put together. In my unhumble opinion. Gangsters with laptops. They've robbed us blind, treated us like second-class citizens, let the trud world triumph, stepped on our flag, et cetera," he wrote.
