“The way he’s dealt with the Senate – where he goes in frankly like a bit of a maniac – you never get things done that way”, Trump said of Cruz on “Fox News Sunday”. How many more jihadis do you think should be allowed to come to America?

“Trump’s immigration policy paper, the greatest political document since the Magna Carta, proposes a moratorium on all immigration”, she said.
The proposal, coming on the heels of other incendiary anti-Muslim remarks by the billionaire property tycoon, set off a firestorm both in the U.S. and overseas.
Nine Republicans hopefuls meet Tuesday in the next prime-time presidential debate, with a familiar slate of candidates looking to wrangle over what to do about the threat of terrorism and who has the right temperament and judgment to lead the nation.
He said: ‘I don’t believe the American people, who predominantly do believe in what is happening with climate change, I don’t think they’re going to accept as a genuine leader someone who doesn’t understand the science of climate change and isn’t willing to do something about it’.

They don’t have constitutional rights. Fight against the enemy, the big enemy. Trump is, and he’s handily beating the other candidates at the moment. The reality for Middle Eastern Muslims has become what George W. Bush claimed after 9/11: the United States needs to fight them over there so it doesn’t have to fight them over here.
