Billionaire refuses to walk back controversial policy
Fresh off his massive victory in Indiana, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump told MSNBC's Morning Joe earlier today that he would stick by his controversial policy on Muslim immigration because the migrant crisis is "destroying Europe".
Trump's proposal to place a temporary halt on Muslim immigration to the United States was perhaps his most incendiary of the campaign, but the New York billionaire shows no signs of walking it back.
Asked if he still believed "Muslims should be banned from entering the country until we can figure out what's going on," Trump said that he didn't care if the policy hurt his chances in a general election.
"Look at what's happening. It's terrible what they have done to some of these countries of they are going to destroy -- they are destroying Europe. I'm not going to let that happen to the United States," said Trump, chiding Obama for refusing to even use the term "radical Islamic terrorism".
Heralding the fact that "a civilian in the truest sense got the nomination of a major party," Trump asserted he had been guided by "common sense" and that he would continue to follow that path.
"We have to be careful. We're allowing thousands of people to come into our country, thousands and thousands of people being placed all over the country that frankly nobody knows who they are. They don't have documentation in many cases. In most cases. We don't know what we're doing. Let's see what happens. This could be a very serious problem for the future," added Trump.
Despite facing a substantial media backlash after he made the comments in December last year, polls taken immediately after the remarks showed that a majority of Americans supported a temporary ban on Muslim immigration.
At the time, the Obama White House said Trump's stance on the issue disqualified him from becoming president, but after the attacks in Brussels and with the inevitability of more Islamist terror on the horizon, Trump's position could end up being a rallying point rather than a hindrance in his bid to take the Oval Office.
About the only thing I support Trump on is immigration.
“Western civilization is under assault.”.........
And odumbo is the one doing it by bringing more of those animals into this country.
Trump is 100 % correct. In Sweden the native woman were just told to not venture out at night because they will be violently raped or worse. How in the world could those Swedesh leaders have allowed this to happen to their own woman ?
“We’re allowing thousands of people to come into our country, thousands and thousands of people being placed all over the country that frankly nobody knows who they are. They don’t have documentation in many cases. In most cases. We don’t know what we’re doing. Let’s see what happens. “
I think he knows that Obama fully knows what he’s doing in all cases. This isn’t a move to provide “sanctuary” for Muslims, it’s a naked attempt to infuse a bunch of muslim terrorists here with the idea that they can form the core of a cadre to wreak havoc on the population here.
U.S. ANNUALLY admits a quarter million Muslim migrants: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/14/federal-data-u-s-annually-admits-quarter-of-a-million-muslim-migrants/
It’s not just the so-called “refugees.” Our pols have been flooding our nation with them for a long time now, mostly under the radar.
An excellent start. Once people realize how effective a temporary ban on Muslims is, they’ll start pushing for the permanent ban.
The National Prayer team is located in Washington...it has always been respected and identified yearly by every President by Proclamation ....as a National Day of Prayer for the nation. If you have a problem with that then perhaps another country is a better fit for you.....THIS country still honors the God of the Bible.
The Muslims have done to Brittian what Hitler was unable to do. I think it is sad that a once great country like England let their country be stolen from them without firing a shot. But when you let the government take away your guns what do you expect? Are we going to let this happen to us?
I ain't goin' nowhere, 2009. Contact Mr. Jim Robinson, via FReepmail, if you think you've genuinely got a case to demand otherwise.
Dismissed.
Many things are indicative of the decline of the United Kingdom.
Like our two party system, Britain’s has not a farthing’s worth of difference between the two. Cameron is left of center and apparently cares naught about the future.
Muslims continue to pour in and, from north to south, they have moved right in to do what earns them the death penalty in the Muslim nations they left.
The city of London advertises for Muslim police officers in order to properly balance the force’s content racially.
With no weapons with which to defend themselves, let alone the populace, one has to wonder why would a normal person apply?
I don’t want to crow too much about it, but here the situation is about as bad as one could imagine. Thanks to our two party system with one head, and the utter ignorance of an electorate, we’ll be there.
Our grandchildren will be the slaves of the Muslims our evil government has allowed to move in on us.
Amen
Your spot on, in the news today, they have elected their first Muslim Mayor of London

It was said several years ago that the plan was to overwhelm the existing population with Muslim citizen, elect Muslim leaders, and enable Sharia Law on ALL citizens.
To achieve this they would have to have enough votes to beat outright the native citizens.
This is their goal all over the world, to destroy from within. Germany saw it as the only way to defeat America.
Trump knows this, and would remove all illegal immigrants from America, not just from Mexico, but from Muslim countries as well, this would eliminate this scenario from happening in the US. Then those Muslims willing to denounce their homeland, and integrate into US society, learn the language, and become US Citizens first would be allowed to come into the US. I think that student visas would also be monitored very closely. Even visitation would have to be closely monitored, and for good reason. The people coming in, are not like, for the most part, the people who were born here. Those that were born her, and commit crimes against this country, or are active in Jihad, will be imprisoned, and if repeat offenders, could lose citizenship and be deported from the US.
The days of taking the kid gloves off is quickly approaching, and like it or not, we won’t have any other option...JMO
I believe Trump is warning TRAITORS McConnell & Ryan....and the others who FINANCED the importation of “refugees” (read TERRORISTS), that if you let them in, I’m throwing them OUT!
That's because Swedish males (I won't call them "men") lack the fortitude to do what is necessary. They will either face the situation for what it is and become predators or they will continue to be prey. There is no other option. You either eradicate Islam or it eradicates you. The world is witnessing this truth writ large across Europe. At a minumum the Swedes should begin capturing and killing the rapists, after castrating them (moslems appreciate grand gestures), or the madness will continue unabated. The "justice systems" across the West have become sad parodies and now seemingly serve mostly to facilitate the fleecing and oppression of the common people. They can no longer be relied on. People have to begin taking their personal and their national futures into their own hands. /soapbox
Fearless leadership in the face of political correctness run amuck.
And Ted Cruz wonders why he lost...
You have to do more than just give lip service to some issues. Sometimes you have to lead.
I guarantee that most of the American People are with Trump on this. It's simple preemptive self-defense.
And there are no Constitutional issues.
Vote Trump
More like self destruction! We (our representatives) are letting it happen here too!
London just elected a musscum mayor! Didn’t take 50 years I think!
So you like these international trade deals which screw over the US?
You don't like lowering taxes on the middle class?
How about dumping Common Core and getting the federal government out of our local education?
Vote Trump
I think in 50 years, the World will be a very dangerous place for Christians and non-Muslims.
