Trump: My immigration plans would have prevented 9/11
CBS ^ | Oct 18 2015 | CBS

Posted on 10/18/2015 2:30:03 PM PDT by WilliamIII

Donald Trump says that if he had been president in 2001, his immigration policies would have kept terrorists from attacking the World Trade Center on September 11.

"I am extremely, extremely tough on illegal immigration. I'm extremely tough on people coming into this country," Trump said on Fox News Sunday. "I believe that if I were running things, I doubt those families would have -- I doubt that those people would have been in the country."

Actually 9/11 was Clinton’s fault. Trump should blame him not Bush

no no no...the new conservative god spews liberal MSNBC Democrat Underground talking points...that's what conservatives want now......

(FTR - 9-11 was thought up, planned, financed and rehearsed under Clinton indeed....)

One only need to see what was immediately done after to note govt was NOT interested in protecting America nor her Citizens:

Continued open borders, immigration, visas, etc.
TSA, DHS - but no profiling of Middle Easterners
Allowed those here to fly home w/out questioning
DIDN’T take the war to S. Arabia

No, there’s enough blame for Bush even after 9 months ignoring the incidents during Clinton’s term (as if he couldn’t ramp up after taking office knowing what WAS done?!)

Everyone knows what Bush, Fiorina and Rubio are - GOPe spineless politicians.

For some reason, though, people think (wrongly) Trump is a strong conservative.

That’s why I comment on him. The others aren’t really worth my time.

“Nice deflection, but Trump is still right.”

True, nice deflection, but it is Trump deflecting by attacking Bush to show what a terrific, fantastic guy he is. Bush had flaws like every president, but of course, Trump has and would have none.

Trump: My immigration plans would have prevented 9/11

Impossible to know, therefore, 100% wrong!

Trump is talking about the event, with 20/20 hindsight, and where the hindsight has been 14 years in the making. It's impossible to know what he would have done as president during the Clinton years to prevent the attacks, and those are the years where the terrorists planned and rehearsed and chose the attack sites. It's also impossible to know what he would have done during the few months that Bush was president before the attacks. It's also impossible to know what he would have done after the attacks. Whatever ideas and policies Trump has in mind now, would not have been the same before the attacks or after the attacks. Besides, at the time of the planning and occurrences of the attacks, Trump was still a democrat, and thus, he would mostly have been on the democrat side of immigration, which would make Trump a complete liar about how he would have prevented the immigration which allowed the terror attacks.

I can do Trump one much better: If I have been president of the U.S. before WWII, I would definitely have prevented the war, since I would have prevented Hitler from even becoming a leader in Germany. See how easy that is? With my 20/20 hindsight, I can easily solve all the world's problems.

“The Bushbot trolls have arrived !”

Since when does someone with a different opinion become a troll? When the emotion over reason Trumpites with Bush Derangement Syndrome they caught from the Libs try and demonstrate the narcissism of Trump is fool’s bait.

Nearly every one of those terrorists had expired visas, and were not in compliance with those visas. Because the visa applications had red flags all over them, and should not have been granted in the first place, and a number of them had been reported to the FBI due to suspicious behavior. Had the laws on the books been properly forced, and these people properly scrutinized most of them would not have been allowed to come here in the first place, and all of them would have been deported. Donald Trump has made it clear that he intends to enforce the law, and we have very good laws which mean, if properly enforced, a 9/11 is very unlikely to happen.

The one thing that can’t be denied is, Bush did NOT keep us safe from 911. You can argue over whether it would have been possible for him to keep us safe, but it’s simply a statement of fact that he didn’t keep us safe from 911 - by definition, because 911 happened
