Billionaire refuses to walk back controversial policy
Fresh off his massive victory in Indiana, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump told MSNBC's Morning Joe earlier today that he would stick by his controversial policy on Muslim immigration because the migrant crisis is "destroying Europe".
Trump's proposal to place a temporary halt on Muslim immigration to the United States was perhaps his most incendiary of the campaign, but the New York billionaire shows no signs of walking it back.
Asked if he still believed "Muslims should be banned from entering the country until we can figure out what's going on," Trump said that he didn't care if the policy hurt his chances in a general election.
"Look at what's happening. It's terrible what they have done to some of these countries of they are going to destroy -- they are destroying Europe. I'm not going to let that happen to the United States," said Trump, chiding Obama for refusing to even use the term "radical Islamic terrorism".
Heralding the fact that "a civilian in the truest sense got the nomination of a major party," Trump asserted he had been guided by "common sense" and that he would continue to follow that path.
"We have to be careful. We're allowing thousands of people to come into our country, thousands and thousands of people being placed all over the country that frankly nobody knows who they are. They don't have documentation in many cases. In most cases. We don't know what we're doing. Let's see what happens. This could be a very serious problem for the future," added Trump.
Despite facing a substantial media backlash after he made the comments in December last year, polls taken immediately after the remarks showed that a majority of Americans supported a temporary ban on Muslim immigration.
At the time, the Obama White House said Trump's stance on the issue disqualified him from becoming president, but after the attacks in Brussels and with the inevitability of more Islamist terror on the horizon, Trump's position could end up being a rallying point rather than a hindrance in his bid to take the Oval Office.
Obama has run around the Constitution by placing the invaders in communities all over the country with NO prior communication with local officials; a lot of those have been distributed in Red States.
Kick them all the hell out! Return Dearborn to America.
Western civilization is under assault.
Says it like it is.....and everyone knows it.
Hilary, on the other hand, would LOVE it to happen!

TRUMP 2016!!!
Oregon ping
Keep it up, Trump! We love it! A man that loves and protects his country!
On the other side of the country Bill Clinton is telling everyone that his wife is a champion of freedom loving Muslims.
One side will win this dispute. If Hillary wins, in a matter of 50 years, many European countries will have a majority Muslim population and the USA will have a very large majority of them.
this is the most important thing he said in the entire campaign, and why I supported Trump 100% from that day on.
this is by far the most important issue facing is.
He is correct.
Make all the people invested in the North American Union idea very sad, Mr. Trump.
This is why we have chosen you.
A true patriot fighting for his country.
That’s how he’s going to beat her, she will verbally say the opposite and the people will say hell no.
Same for his positions on the wall and trade.
Well I’m not hearing Trump mention the National Day of Prayer which is today.....and since we have a Islamic invasion in our country I thought I’d post the prayer happening at 12:00 nation wide that the Nat’l Prayer team has put together.
For any who have interest....
National Prayer at 12:00 today
Dear heavenly Father, we come to You today as a humble people desperate for Your supernatural intervention on behalf of our beloved nation. First, we thank You for all the blessings You have bestowed on our land, blessings that have allowed us to bring so much good and benefit to not only our own citizens but also to the rest of the world. The very ideals upon which this country was founded were based on biblical truths, no matter how some try to rewrite history to deny that very fact today.
This is why our hearts are so broken over how You continue to be marginalized and dismissed by both our people and our institutions. We are also saddened by the fact that Your people have contributed greatly to the spiritual apathy that now engulfs us. Our satisfaction in remaining religious without being fully committed to living out the truths of Your Word has caused us to become co-conspirators with the forces of evil that are destroying us as a society.
It is for this reason that we personally and collectively repent of our carnality and recommit ourselves to becoming visible and verbal disciples of Jesus Christ. Enable us, by Your Spirit, to no longer be secret agent Christians but rather to publicly declare and live out Your truth in a spirit of love so that You feel welcome in our country once again.
Thank You for Your promise to hear our prayers when we call to You with hearts of repentance and obedience, which is how we are appealing to You today, Father. On behalf of Your church, we affirm afresh the priority You are to us that You would fill every dimension of our lives as we seek to bring You glory through the advancement of Your kingdom in our personal lives, our family lives, and in the lives of our churches and our government leaders. We confidently invite heaven’s intervention into all the affairs of our nation and we praise You in advance for Your answer.
Yes and it is actually many issues in one.
1) It puts the truth of the religious war against Christians on the table.
2) It puts the use of political correctness on the table. The left hides the worst kind of behavior behind PC and this pulls down that wall.
3) It puts nationalism back on the table which the Left has turned into a bad word.
4) It puts gender and gay issues on the table because of the horrors of islam.
Probably because we're electing a president, not a pastor.
TRUMP 2016!!!
