Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday slapped down former President Trump’s statement that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” by pointing out Trump appointed his wife, Elaine Chao, who is Taiwanese American, to serve as secretary of Transportation in 2016.
Asked about Trump’s controversial comments, which have drawn comparison to Nazi rhetoric before and during World War II, McConnell pointed out the hypocrisy of the remarks.
“It strikes me that didn’t bother him when he appointed Elaine Chao the secretary of Transportation,” he said.
Chao also served in former President George W. Bush’s Cabinet as secretary of Labor, becoming the first Asian Pacific American woman to serve in a presidential Cabinet.
“Melania Trump[a] (born April 26, 1970) is a Slovenian-American former model …”

Not to mention his prior wife Ivana from the Chech, and his kids with whichever of them…
Those immigrants are fine because they’re white (mostly)
Yeah trump has something of a… preoccupation, shall we say, with Swedes. He’s a bit too enthusiastic about the stereotypical Swedish blond hair/blue eyes thing, if you catch my drift.
They don’t see whites as immigrants, they only use the word for Brown people. That’s why white people call themselves ex pats, because they’ve been using the word immigrant as a racist dog whistle so long, they don’t want to call themselves that.
Indeed
Whether he’s marrying them or deporting them, he can’t help but make life miserable for immigrants.
