“To accomplish a goal, you must state a mission: the support networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one”.

Trump is right that the Islamic State capitalized on the political and security vacuum in Iraq in 2014, but it’s not clear that a long-term USA military occupation to hold and exploit Iraqi’s oil resources would have led to a more stable outcome. He called for parents, teachers and others to promote “American culture” and encouraged “assimilation”.
“No, I would not call it mass deportations”, he told Bloomberg News. He indicated that the “test” would be directed mainly at MUSlims from the Middle East, but left open the possibility that other regions could also be covered by it while proposing an omnibus screening of anyone who is not consonant with American values, as determined by him.
With little in the way of specifics from the Republican presidential candidate and his senior campaign officials – including whether they would apply to tourists – the proposed vetting reforms have raised questions about how officials would assess the validity of applicants’ responses and whether an overhaul of the immigration screening process would work.
As NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons has said, “We attract the best and the brightest, the most industrious, to our shores”.
“In addition to screening out all members or sympathizers of terrorist groups, we must also screen out any who have hostile attitudes towards our country or its principles – or who believe that Sharia law should supplant American law”, he said, referring to the Muslim religious canon.
“The level of specificity that would be helpful to ISIS is far, far greater than anything he is offering”, Friedman said, noting that even during the Cold War era, President Dwight Eisenhower offered detailed foreign policy plans to deal with communism.
The man who started his presidential campaign by warning that Mexico was sending rapists and murderers across the border has consistently displayed a lack of concern about what would happen to the families of undocumented immigrants.
Biden called Trump’s views “dangerous” and “un-American”.
REPUBLICAN U.S. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE DONALD TRUMP, on his new approach to immigration.
In 2009 before the Obama administration took over, Mr Trump argued: “Libya was stable; Syria was under control; Egypt was ruled by a secular ally of the United States”. Still, he directly blamed the president and Clinton, who served as Obama’s secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, for backing policies that “unleashed” the group, including withdrawing US troops from Iraq in late 2011.
With Republicans anxious Donald Trump is lagging behind Hillary Clinton, he delivered a well-received teleprompter speech on how he will defeat ISIS and Clinton will not.
Trump was vague about what he would do differently to decimate the Islamic State in its strongholds in Iraq and Syria. Here are some key things to know about what the U.S. already does and how Trump’s plan would be different. But they have been unable to reach an agreement on which militant groups could be targeted.
Trump also said that he would end USA involvement in nation-building and focus on halting the spread of Muslim terrorism.
While polls have shown Clinton building a lead following last month’s convention, Democrats fear that a depressed voter turnout might diminish support among the minority, young and female voters who powered Obama to two victories.
During a campaign speech near Cleveland on Monday afternoon, the billionaire said his intention to restrict migrants coming into the United States is meant to cut off a potential path for militants seeking to do harm on USA soil.
“The Russian government still has nukes pointed at us, I guess”.

Trump first announced his call for banning Muslims previous year during the GOP primary. He vowed to be quick and decisive when attacking ISIS, and is calling for the temporary suspension of immigration from unsafe and volatile regions in the world where terrorism is frequent. “Crime and violence is an attack on the poor and it will never be accepted in a Trump administration”.
