"Check the registry! I think that guy might be a Muslim."

President-elect Donald Trump's team said today that he had never advocated for "any registry or system that tracks individuals based on their religion" -- despite statements in the past that may be at odds with that.
"President-elect Trump has never advocated for any registry or system that tracks individuals based on their religion, and to imply otherwise is completely false," Jason Miller, Communications Director of the Presidential Transition Team, wrote in a statement. "The national registry of foreign visitors from countries with high terrorism activity that was in place during the Bush and Obama Administrations gave intelligence and law enforcement communities additional tools to keep our country safe the President-elect will release his own vetting policies after he is sworn in."

Thier so called religion is a military tactic
Registries do not work. So what, they’re on a registry. Is that going to somehow stop them from murdering, raping, instituting Sharia? No. Send them back.
*GASP*
0bama APPROVED of the tracking of Muslim Terrorists?
Who knew? ‘Cuz it sure didn’t do chit to keep us safe!
Trump needs to do a better job of getting in front of the constant misinformation spewing from the media... this has been settling for a few days now, long enough to be canard for leftists talking points and narrative...
It’s to give you a starting place when you’re looking for them.
It also gives you family members that could be sympathetic to ‘the cause’.
These are foreign nationals, and I see nothing wrong with keeping tabs on them.
It’s part of the Visa process.
As I understand it, people are asked why they are traveling. If they say to visit, they may be asked who and where.
I see no problem with that.
And played on the networks that no one is listening to anymore.
It’s odd how “gun registration” would work but
Muslim registration wouldn’t...
Those zany liberals!
He has more important things to do right now than rebut every silly internet rumor.
Lol all those tough-talking "conservative" positions are evaporating quickly.
LOL, good one.
You’re so right too.
"Check the registry! I think that guy might be a Muslim."
Hey, we’re not confiscating them.
We’re just making them harder to bring in.
We’ll never round them up.
Sound familiar?
And the quad fifty opens up...on everyone but the guy whose hands are tied.
“Trump needs to do a better job...”
Been hearing/reading how Trump needs to do X since he threw his hat into the ring in 2015. He outsmarted EVERYONE & won the election so I am going to assume till proven otherwise Trump knows exactly what he is doing & how it’s being conveyed.
a muslim registry is about as worthless as a gun registry
repatriate the Moslem menace NOW!
problem solved.
a registry solves nothing and affords Americans Zero protection from the Islamic invaders, terrorists, and bombers
Got this in an email.
Wouldn't it be interesting if, at some point during the Presidential campaign, one of the candidates asked, "Oh, by the way, has anyone in Washington DC ever heard of the McCarran-Walter Act Of 1952?I did not know of this Act until recently, but it has been a law for almost 65 years. Here are the historic facts that would seem to indicate that many, if not most, of the people we elect to work for us in Washington DC do not have the slightest idea of what laws already exist in OUR country.
After several terrorist incidents were carried out in the United States, Donald Trump was severely, criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims). The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being Un-American, dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist. Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and our President called such a prohibition on immigration unconstitutional.
Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President, whenever the President finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. The President may, by proclamation, and for such a period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose any restrictions on the entry of aliens he may deem to be appropriate." Who do you suppose last used this process?
Why it was president Jimmy Carter, no less than 37 years ago, in 1979, to keep Iranians out of the United States. But he actually did more. He made ALL Iranian students, already in the United States, check in with the government. And then he deported a bunch of them. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, and a total of 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the USA in 1979. So, what say you about all of the criticism that Donald Trump received from the Democrat Senators, Representatives and the Obama Administration?
Additionally, it is important to note that the McCarran-Walter Act also requires that an "applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and in agreement with the principles of our Constitution." Therefore, one could surmise that since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically, ALL Muslims should be refused immigration to OUR country.

All the media does is lie.
ABC didn’t post the quote with the source did they?
Didn’t think so - because it didn’t happen.
I just meant I’d like to see refutations like this come out sooner so to take away lib talking points of crazy leftists I run into at other sites...
Vs. The FeeBs destroying information on suspected terror risks because they hadn’t killed nobody yet....
