Donald Trump Calls for Suspension of Immigration From Areas With History of Terrorism

[brooklynite]

Source: NECN

Donald Trump says he wants to "suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism."

It wasn't immediately clear whether Trump was proposing a change from his long-standing proposal to temporarily bar foreign Muslims entering the U.S.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee also called on Muslims in the U.S. to work with law enforcement on finding potential attackers.

He made the proposal Monday in Manchester, New Hampshire, a day after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history in Orlando. He called for an overhaul of the nation's immigration system and said that "we have to control our borders now - not later, now."

[Chakab]

1. Is Ireland on that list?

What about the Basque region of Spain?

[Botany]

28. What about Italy?

and don't forget France .... the word saboteur comes from French

[Chakab]

30. Now, now. Don't go lising too many European countries or we'll be branded "regressive" who are too

PC to talk about the real problem by the enlightened folk here.

[Botany]

31. The English used the term "redskin" in the context of ....

..."bring me the skin of a red man" in order to coilect a bounty. Sounds like
terror to me. And what about all the African tribes who captured and sold
Africans to the slave trade?

I wonder if Trump really believes the crap that comes out of his mouth.

[Shrike47]

2. England? France? Sweden?

[getagrip_already]

14. you forgot israel....

and of course Russia, india, pakistan, even china.

So basically what he is saying is to shut all the doors, with the possible exception of citizens of Antarctica.

[Moostache]

3. So, basically from everywhere?

This guy is an affront to decency and a dishonor to all Americans living and passed.

[eastwestdem]

40. It's looking like that wall better get a lot bigger... nt

[liberalnarb]

4. Ignorant stupid fool

[leveymg]

5. Gee, that blocks the Irish, the British, most of Europe, Asia, and Americans.

Guess nobody's going anywhere.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Which would be just about everywhere.

Britain has a history of terrorism because of the IRA. Norway had a terrorist attack not so long ago. France and Spain have had terrorist incidents. Germany had the Munich Olympics.

Trump is an idiot, but I didn't need to point that out...

[Lance Bass esquire]

7. NYC????

Thats where shooter was from. Idiot Trump Monkey

[davidthegnome]

8. Could we please deport Trump instead?

Is there any Country that has a use for this ignorant braggart? China? Russia? Pakistan? Maybe Saudi Arabia? We won't even charge you anything. We will simply ship him over and you can do whatever the heck you want with him...

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. Now there's an idea!

[47of74]

32. I'll second that.

[roamer65]

35. I'll third that.

[world wide wally]

9. Will it be retroactive to........... oooooooooh, about 1493?

[C_U_L8R]

10. Retroactive to when?

Ellis Island? The Mayflower? The Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria?

All the terrorism here is homegrown.
And mostly the intolerant rightwing variety.



on edit: we're thinking the same World Wide Wally. Cheers.

[geek tragedy]

11. So, they'll build a wall around Oklahoma City? nt

[NuclearDem]

21. Actually, in that case, it would be around Lockport.

[Mendocino]

12. By his logic then, we should place restrictions of people from

New York, Kansas and Florida, home states of Timothy McVeigh, Scott Roeder and Eric Rudolph.

[AtheistCrusader]

13. So Americans would be... stuck... here?

I'm confused.

[m-lekktor]

15. He is pandering for votes. It will sadly probably work. nt

[Kelvin Mace]

16. So, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas,

Oklahoma, etc?

[bucolic_frolic]

17. The man is a Buffoon Carnival Barker

IF the Muslims who are here are terrorists, HOW do you compel
them to cooperate? If terror is their goal, are they going to tell you?

Poorly conceptualized plan from the Dimwit of Dimwits.

[Person 2713]

18. Orlando shooter was born and raised here so how would that help what happened in FL?

Trump is insane. The killer was an American mass shooter. No immigration issue involved.
Clinton and Sanders both addressed better ideas and made appropriate sane comments when discussing the worst mass shooting in US history.
Trump must not win. He is all about hate, not uniting people at this time of tragedy.

[LiberalArkie]

19. What does propose to do about the worlds largest terrorist organization, the conservative U.S.A.

[TonyPDX]

20. Does Oklahoma City qualify? n/t

[NuclearDem]

22. A yuuge wall, and we're going to make Idaho pay for it.

[Jack Rabbit]

23. How about Trump rallies?

[Native]

24. Why are people still insisting that Trump is smart?

[Sunlei]

25. This 'lead' Republican is their nuttiest yet. His crap will draw flies worse then the shrubs did.

[bluestateguy]

26. The rural white South would be the first place I would suggest

nt

[Demsrule86]

27. That would be pretty much everywhere

And I heard a clip...driving home...he sounds like such an idiot. Julie on POTUS called him stupid and he is. The Orlando shooter was born in this country. We need to ban assault weapons of any kind and have serious background checks...the guy was checked out by the FBI twice, went to Saudi Arabia which should have raised some alarms...maybe the GOP moron should give up the witch hunt on the emails and do his job.

[rockfordfile]

33. Yeah he's a idiot

[L. Coyote]

34. Does this mean all Europeans will be returning across the ocean?

[roamer65]

37. That's a good question. N/t

[truthisfreedom]

36. So America's on the list?

Just sayin.

[arely staircase]

38. So. Everywhere? nt

What place doesnt have a history of it?

[Paula Sims]

39. Canadians should be ok

Except Justin Bieber - please deport him.

[olddad56]

41. Good idea Donald, I'm sure that they are all in this country legally...

it is only the Mexicans that you despise who are in this country illegally.

[Feeling the Bern]

42. So Europeans can't come here anymore then? Japanese? White Southerners?

Or do we just mean brown people?

[tclambert]

43. So, Queens, New York? Or Chicago? Or Lockport, New York?

The Orlando shooter was born in Queens (the same borough as Donald J. Trump). Syed Farouk, the San Bernardino shooter was born in Chicago. Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, was born in Lockport, not far from Buffalo.

[jiminvegas]

45. And Ohio

Birthplace of charles manson.
