Here is his quote: "In the Cold War, we had an ideological screening test. The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for threats we face today." He was talking about immigration on Monday.
Trump and republicans are about reducing governement, yet Trump is advocating a new, more stringent process that will require government resources. Huh? How is this going to be paid for?
Trump is referencing the seriously flawed McCarran–Walter Act which was put into place in 1952 to screen out communists. It was repealed but portions of it were used in the implementation of the Patriot act.
Is he going to perform a litmus test for tourists as well?
It's hypocritical to hold immigrants to a higher standard than natural-born citizens
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
I HEARD THIS LAST NIGHT AS I TURNED ON THE TV. IT WAS THE FIRST WORDS I HEARD FROM HIS DESPOT LIPS.
What kind of person even thinks like this and says it out loud for the world to hear? This is America and he says THIS crap? I think there were all kinds of screening questions that were so blatently Anti-American that one has to just shake a head in wonderment.
I don't think even Hitler tried this crap before he became Der Furor.
He evolved slowly into madness. Trump is devolving before the election even takes place. I know he is going to lose it more and more as the months near the end. Because he knows it is also the end for him so he is gathering an army of dissenters to try and foil Hillary as soon as she wins.
I know he is beefing up his haters to do as much damage to her reign as President as he can muster.
This man has gone from Buffoon to totally Dangerous. And of course FOX news tries to smooth it over and defend this creep. His LIST of things to leave at the door and shout no admittance go far BEYOND anything we should ever consider regarding letting someone into America. It has little to do with protecting the country and everything to do with CONTROLLING the country. From the NET: But ideological litmus tests for immigrants and a national commission to study “radical Islam” could be catastrophically counterproductive. Requiring assent to a checklist of values would punish thoughts rather than deeds and might encourage newcomers to dissemble about their beliefs. A commission designed to expose radicals could bring back the days of blacklists and guilt by association. These are frightening ideas. It’s no surprise that they have been proposed by Donald Trump.
