Donald Trump calls for ‘extreme’ ideological screening test for new immigrants

Trump delivered a speech on Monday, entitled “Understanding The Threat: Radical Islam And The Age Of Terror”, in which he outlined his plan on immigration and terrorism.

“In the Cold War, we had an ideological screening test”.

Ask Donald Trump whether his “extreme vetting” will work and his answer will be “trust me”.

“A Trump Administration will establish a clear principle that will govern all decisions pertaining to immigration: we should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people”, he described. To quote him, “Those who do not believe in our Constitution or who support bigotry and hatred will not be admitted for immigration into our country”.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks Monday in Youngstown, Ohio, about his foreign policy vision.

Donald Trump has said that he will work closely with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies to defeat the Islamic State (Isis) if he wins the USA presidential election in November.

Donald Trump’s immigration control proposals aimed ostensibly at keeping out terrorists is being met with skepticism and incredulity about its feasibility given America’s expansive immigration history and constitutional protection for religious freedom.

According to Trump, immigrants who embrace American values and are expected to thrive in the country would be issued visas.

“Supporting this new immigration reform proposal should be good electoral politics for Republicans”, the memo said.

“The common thread linking the major Islamic terrorist attacks that have recently occurred on our soil – 9/11, the Ft”.

Trump also acknowledged the need for worldwide cooperation in achieving the goal of combating radical Islam, saying that any country, which shares this goal, would be considered an ally of the US.

It may be that his controversial statements over the last month – including an apparent call for Russian Federation to hack U.S. servers to find Clinton’s missing emails, his musings about whether Second Amendment activists could stop her Supreme Court nominees if she were president or claims that Obama “founded” ISIS – have inflicted too much damage already for his message to resonate.

Mr Trump said he believes the United States and Russian Federation could find “common ground” in the fight against ISIS.

Potential allies in the fight against the Islamic State include Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Russia, Trump said.

Trump last week labeled his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and President Barack Obama “the founders of ISIS”, which Trump initially insisted he meant literally, then called “sarcasm”.

“Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country”, Trump told “Fox & Friends”.

Conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt gave Trump the opportunity to ease his way out of this nonsense by suggesting that Trump was referring to a notion that Obama’s Iraq policy somehow led to the formation of ISIS. During his speech in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump called for working “very closely with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation”, describing radical Islamic terrorism as the dominant global threat and one that must be confronted at all levels. This act was passed in the context of the Cold War, as Mr. Trump noted, and it gives the president extensive power to investigate and bar potential immigrants who might threaten U.S. security.

In reaction, Hillary Clinton’s campaign attacked Trump’s plan, citing it as evidence of Trump’s instability and inconsistency. You wouldn’t have ISIS, and I’ve been saying that for years.
