Hours after terrorist explosions in Brussels killed at least 31 people, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz proposed that law enforcement increase monitoring of Muslim neighborhoods in the U.S.
In a statement released by his campaign, Cruz wrote: "We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized." .
.
"I don't know whether this is true or not, but Cruz said we should start patrolling Muslim neighborhoods or something - is that true?" Kasich asked a group of reporters outside of a campaign stop in Minneapolis.
He added: "In our country, we don't want to create divisions where we say, 'Okay, well your religion -- you're a Muslim, so therefore we're going to keep an eye on you."

Kasich is completely indistinguishable from your run of the mill democrat appeaser.
How are the Popos going to prevent “radicalization”?
Hey Ted, if Trump wins, there won’t be any Muslim neighborhoods to patrol : )
OMG!
WTF?
They need to get this clown OUT of the race NOW. He is going to cost the Republicans races all over the country.
I cannot believe that he said this.
How about a moratorium on the importation of muzzies?
I know:
Vote Trump
This guy is soft and effeminate and won't do what is necessary to win the war on terror.
Absolutely. Current events show such areas become “no go zones” ... which should be met with “go, often and heavily armed, zones”.
So wait, let me get this straight. Ted Cruz is against the Trump idea of a moratorium on importing people from terrorist Islam counties, but he has no problem activating fortress America and deploying militarized police into US neighborhoods, “just in case”?
How in the hell does this guy consider himself a “small government” conservative?!?!
How so?
I am literally beginning to feel sorry for Cruz, he is blowing it bigtime and just cannot seem to back off for a minute to get a clear look...I know he is smarter than this. Trump speaks clearly and with true leadership, it is a stark contrast that Cruz just is not capable of overcoming.
Um, Cruz is only about 6 months late on this sentiment. The Trump Train left that station in October.
Bingo! Get them the bleep out of here. Since they DO NOT assimilate, they are NOT Americans. They want Sharia; send them back to where they have nothing BUT Sharia. Tough times call for tough measures. I think Cruz’s patrol idea is insane. It is comparable to “patroling” a case of cancer.
Will radicalize for food!!
I can understand Cruz’s concern, but local law enforcement is a local government issue. He can’t order them to patrol specific areas.
Cruz is turning shark jumping into a daily event.
Moratorium, NO! Deportation, YES!
Idiot
“We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.”
I’m looking for the /comedy tag but I don’t see it.
You might want to read post 13. If still unclear, you might want to read post 13 again.
