Nei, takk! Tusen takk, nei!
Listen, Donald, I know Norwegians are white and all, but if you let “those people” into the country it will destroy our way of life. Do you know what will happen?
LUTEFISK TRUCKS ON EVERY CORNER.
That’s what.
For the love of Christ, Donald, do not subject us to this.
You say that now, but you’ll change your tune when there’s no one left who’s willing to put in the long hours necessary to produce Powdermilk Biscuits.
Norway is a prosperous, free country, and the average Norwegian is doing at LEAST as well as the average white American. Sven and Henrik don’t want or need to come to America.
It’s always been people from shitholes who want to come here. Yes, in my grandfather’s day, Ireland probably qualified as a shithole. And he certainly wasn’t one of Ireland’s “best.” Ireland’s best didn’t need to emigrate. People like my grandfather, a farm boy with the equivalent of an 8 th grade education did.
Hey now! I not only enjoy lutefisk but I’ve eaten college cafeteria lutefisk! (St Olaf College nonetheless) And I’m a freaking Siberian for Lord’s sake! Trucks on every corner sounds great to me!
As long as there is a truck with some good enchiladas on the same corner. Man does not live by the piece of cod alone 
Your Klingon is passable, but there is no honor in using such epithets.
The wave of Irish immigration came during the potato famine, when a quarter of Ireland either emigrated or died. “Ireland’s best” were called “the English”, and they owned all the land and exported all the food to England, leaving the Irish to literally starve to death. My paternal grandmother’s family came to America then.
After four years of the famine, (1844-49) a quarter of Ireland’s population (2 million) had either left or died. You’d have to go to Pol Pot’s Cambodia, to find a better example of a shithole. The main, the only cause of the potato famine was the greed and callous disregard of the English.
How can this be? Norway is a social democracy, and indeed can fairly be called a “welfare state”. Wouldn’t Sven and Hendrik want to get away from that socialist shithole? 
Well, maybe not …
What is it, though, that makes the Scandinavians so different? Since the Democrats can’t tell you and the Republicans wouldn’t want you to know, let me offer you a quick introduction. What Scandinavians call the Nordic model is a smart and simple system that starts with a deep commitment to equality and democracy. That’s two concepts combined in a single goal because, as far as they’re concerned, you can’t have one without the other.
Right there, they part company with capitalist America, now the most unequal of all the developed nations, and consequently a democracy no more. Political scientists say it has become an oligarchy, run at the expense of its citizenry by and for the superrich. Perhaps you’ve noticed that.

Actually:
It’s hard to understand why this would be true: wouldn’t traveling across the Atlantic be very expensive (in relative terms) back then? If you both poor and are living paycheck to paycheck (and the paychecks not all that regular)–or are a farmer mostly living on a subsistence level how could you save up the money for the trip?
On my mother’s side, my ancestors came to America from an island shithole called England. They piled on a small boat called Mayflower and came to America to steal jobs from the natives. Or something. My father’s family escaped from an oppressive shithole called Germany and became a burden on society by becoming wagon makers, teachers and produce vendors, going from zero to wealth in 40 years.
The way my ancestors did it (from Pinsk) was that one person went, and then sent money for the rest. The immigrants also went in steerage - not exactly deluxe accommodations, and probably more profitable for the steamship company than cargo.
But why is it surprising that those doing well in Norway would want to stay and not go to a land where they did not know the language.
I wouldn’t blame other countries if they didn’t want to accept immigrants from a shithole like the United States. We can have cars and houses and cell phones and technology and have so much food we throw half of it away but while Donald Trump is president we are a shithole.
Perhaps Trump is prioritizing his immigration choices on the basis of which country has the most pussies he wants to grab?
The shape of Africa can be seen as someone sittng on a toilet … what does Scandinavia look like?
That already happens. It is getting harder and harder for US expats to find a country that will accept them. Americans are seen as health-care refugees, wanting to cash in on somebody else’s universal health car systems.
Nobody tell this guy about Minnesota. Lutefisk and Lutherans as far as the eye can see!
An oddly-shaped, strangely rigid mess of hair sitting on Europe’s forehead.
I think this is the right place for this reddit comment that’s become really popular:
Do these people in those shitholes expect us to hold up a lamp to some kind of golden door to America just so they can send us a bunch of huddled, homeless masses? What the hell are we supposed to do with all that human refuse?
Norway? Norway? Actually, I’m kinda surprised Trump picked Norway.
You know, for someone whose mother was an immigrant, Trump sure has a bug up his ass about this topic. Of course, she was from one of the [del]white[/del] good countries, so maybe that’s OK.
