What are you smoking Donald? the way to prevent terrorist attacks isn't to focus on illegal aliens, it's to make American citizens - including elderly grammas - take off their shoes at the airport and submit to nudie video machines

We’re about to take in a lot more Tsarnaevs before the next president is sworn in.

[Caipirabob]

Our immigration laws haven’t been enforced properly in years. It’s more of a focused punishment for people who follow the laws. Easy enough to believe that common sense enforcement could have prevented 9/11.

[dragnet2]

No, no, Trump don’t get it. During war time you have to be ready to call any American volunteering to secure our homeland borders, vigilantes!

If Trump had been president, Katrina would have turned out to sea. Or maybe have just gone pfffttt and dissipated when he spoke.

The 9/11 hijackers came here on student or tourist visas. I’ve read through Trump’s immigration plan, and see no restrictions on either. So, how, exactly, would Trump’s policies have stopped 9/11? (Not that Trump ever backs up his “bold statements”, but I figured I’d ask).

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.

[Zhang Fei]

Just as NATO would have prevented Munich. It’s too bad we failed to listen to The Donald’s repeated warnings before 9/11.

[italianquaker]

Trump just talks, he doesnt believe half of what he says. Nevertheless it does keep him in the news like his reality show

When I first read your post I laughed out loud. But then I realized: it’s not funny. Something this sick is not funny. The morons in the TSA are not funny. The muslim in the WH is not funny.

So while your post is clever... and it made me laugh... on a deeper level it’s not funny.

[HKMk23]

Saw this in WaPo earlier; the headline starts the lie, and the story pushes it.

Trump DID NOT say 9/11 WOULDN’T have happened; he said it MIGHT NOT have happened.

That’s a HUGE difference, but — here again — the media spin it to make him look as bad as possible, casting their votes early for the candidate of their choosing, and giving in-kind donations to his campaign.

In no sense is this mendacious, mis-representative “journalism” what The Framers intended to protect with Constitutional language regarding “a free press.”

“I’m extremely tough on”?? WHAT..when you play “video games”

FLASHBACK: Jeb Bush Admitted ‘Leaky’ Immigration Led to 9/11 - Breitbart http://bit.ly/1ZPfIwE via @BreitbartNews

However, a review Jeb Bush’s 2013 book Immigration Wars reveals that Jeb Bush himself agreed with Trump’s argument and admitted that our “leaky” immigration policy was responsible for the attack.

Bush wrote:

In addition to the Mexican drug cartels, the fact that several of the 9/11 terrorists entered the country lawfully under a leaky immigration has heightened national security concerns—so much so that immigration enforcement has been placed under the Department of Homeland Security.

Indeed, all of the the nineteen September 11th hijackers were voluntarily imported into the country on visas issued to them by our federal government. Almost all of the visas were issued in the predominantly Muslim country of Saudi Arabia. Four of the September 11th hijackers—Zacarias Moussaoui, Satam al Suqami, Nawaf al Hamzi, and Hani Hanjour—were visa overstays.

In a blockbuster 2002 report, National Review’s Joel Mowbray acquired the visa applications of 15 of the 19 hijackers and exposed how every single one of their applications should have been flatly rejected.
