The use of terms like “shithole” imputes personal and moral failure to people who by mere chance live in troubled countries. It extinguishes their humanity and with it, any concern we might have for their well-being.
This is the point though, the language of a demagogue. All manner of evil can be accomplished or justified if these people aren't people, but pests. Strip them of humanity and you can shoot them in the middle of Fifth Avenue in the streets like rabid dogs. Round them up and put them in camps or ghettos. Who cares what happens to a cockroach?

No. 2 Republican in the House—known for his relentless cultivation of political alliances—bought a plentiful supply of Starbursts and asked a staffer to sort through the pile, placing only those two flavors in a jar. McCarthy made sure his name was on the side of the gift, which was delivered to a grinning Trump, according to a White House official.
