U.S. Sen. David Perdue echoed Republican nominee Donald Trump’s vow to enact “extreme vetting” and a new screening test for arrivals to the U.S., calling it essential to combat Islamic extremism.

Trump spoke at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio where he shared his plan to wage a “military, cyber and financial” war against the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS or Daesh) militant group by tying up with defense organization.
“Refugees from Syria, Iraq, etc. are fleeing the same terror we fear”, the ADL said.
“I’m anxious about the vetting process from people we have no way of checking into their background”.
Donald Trump said he would test would-be immigrants for anti-Semitic beliefs and that Israel would be a key ally in defeating “radical Islam”.
Trump went on to claim that the “common thread” that links recent attacks in the United States is that “they have involved immigrants or the children of immigrants”, which he claims can be solved with “new screening procedures” which he dubbed “extreme, extreme vetting”.
“We should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people”, he said.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said if he comes to power, he will call for an global conference to halt the spread of Radical Islam. The proposal follows his months-long call for a “total and complete” ban on Muslims, which has also been short on specifics.

Trump said he will also work closely with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation on this new mission. “We’ve got eight years of failure and I’m picking the high ground, because she’s not offering any solutions”.
