The Homeland Security Chief Kierstjen Nielsen, just said, on air, that when the president* referred to preferring immigrants from Norway, it was because they are "hard workers". THE IMPLICATION BEING... NOT THE DEADBEATS FROM HAITI AND AFRICAN COUNTRIES.

Ask the people of Poland, if they think the Norwegians are hard workers. They come here to work. We really didn't want to be dragged into this quarrel.

I'm of Norwegian descent living in Minnesota. We're sorry and embarrassed.

Though, being able to pronounce a name from Norway is a skill. Spanish I can learn, my fear is the day I have to learn Norsk.
