Bill Maher devolves into profane rant over immigration with Hollywood actor

Political provocateur Bill Maher borrowed a term from President Donald Trump when ranting about "s---hole countries" while discussing immigration with Latino activist and Hollywood actor John Leguizamo.

Trump coined the phrase during his first term in office to refer to the usually third-world countries that were home to non-white citizens.

The Daily Beast wrote about Maher's Club Random podcast, where the host condemned former President Joe Biden's "come one, come all" border policy.

Leguizamo pushed back on that assertion, saying, “There’s plenty of room in America, come on. There’s not a lack of room in America.”

The suggestion sent Maher into a tailspin.

“But it’s never about room, it’s about resources," Maher declared. “Countries have to have a border. I mean, they’ve done surveys and something like 200 million people around the world when asked, ‘Would you come to America if you could?’ answered 'Yes, I would.’ Why wouldn’t they? Lots of countries, excuse me, are s---holes, and they would love to be here.”

Leguizamo, who was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and who lobbies on behalf of the American Latino community, shot back, "The places aren’t s---holes."

"Well, they are," Maher said, undeterred. "That’s why they want to come.”

Leguizamo brought up the U.S. history of intervening in Latin-American countries, while taking advantage of their natural resources. Despite Leguizamo's assertion, Maher doubled down.

“It’s not your fault you live in a s---hole. It doesn’t mean you’re a s---hole person,” Maher said. “You have the misfortune of being born there, and I get why you would want to come here.”
