On the first campaign stop since announcing his tax plan, GOP front-runner Donald Trump came out swinging Wednesday night to a crowd of over 3,500 in Keene, N.H.
Changing his tune on Syrian refugees, after once saying he would grant them asylum because it was the "humane" thing to do, Trump now says he would kick them out. "I'm putting the people on notice that are coming here from Syria as part of this mass migration, that if I win, if I win, they're going back."

And, speaking to a crowd of about 200, there was a striking scene. A young Syrian-American woman named Nora stood up, in tears, and told of her 14 family members whom she had been supporting in Syria, whose houses had been bombed. They had just made it to Turkey and she asked Bush, voice cracking and filled with emotion, “Are we going to let Putin run this world?”
Bush applauded her strength and encouraged the crowd to do so as well. Then, he put himself in clear opposition to Trump, saying the United States has to take a role in providing support.
“Send them all back to a hell hole?” he said to reporters afterwards. “That’s not the proper policy for the United States and it’s certainly not an exhibition of leadership. …There should be some sensitivity to this by Mr. Trump.”
+1 for Trump. Send them all back.
Well, Jeb...maybe we should send them to your place or Chicago (cause that’s not a hell hole).
I want to see documentation before I believe this.
They will bring the hell hole to us. Their area of the world has always been a hell hole.
Somebody explained Hirajah to Donald. Jihad by immigration. Mohammed used it to take Mecca in 622 and they still hold it. Hello why are we led by Dhimmi’s who have not read the history of this group...they have left a bloody 1400 year trail.

You think she was a plant? I would be shocked to hear this type of thing happens.
Admittedly that is a flip-flop for Trump from several weeks ago.
Jeb is an idiot if he thinks Americans want more, unvetted, muslim immigrants.
The two-story, 3,000-square-foot house, which is expected to be finished this summer, is the ninth residential building on the site.
A lot of the world is a hell hole and no we can take them all in and no they dont deserve to all come here just because they wont Fight to make they piece of the world a better place!
Jeb Bush doesn't care what American's want - he made that clear when he defended his stance on our current illegal immigrants saying even if it cost him politically he's not going to change his views on immigration (of illegals).
“Admittedly that is a flip-flop for Trump from several weeks ago.”
Seriously. He was saying something very different not one month ago.
I could be wrong - I thought he said he’d consider it. It looks as though he has considered.
“Send them all back to a hell hole?” he said to reporters afterwards. “That’s not the proper policy for the United States”
Japan basically said they aren’t taking any more than 11 because they prefer to look after their people first.
THAT should be the “proper” policy of the U.S..
He doesn’t care what Americans want with his stupid Spanish speeches.
He is all in for immigrants only.
Only idiots are still bankrolling him. I hope they lose every penny they have.
I agree-sounds a bit embellished to me—she was ABLE to support “14 people” as a woman in a predominately Muslim country??? Is she crying because she misses working to feed 14 people or crying because she won’t be allowed to ‘retire’ and get govt benefits in a new country aka ‘a better life’?
These Syrian refugees should be held at some offshore island and NOT allowed on the mainland, until they had been thoroughly vetted, which may take some time. Of course, these potential refugees always have the option of being transported back to their country of nativity, if they simply cannot stand the waiting, or if, in the course of being vetted, it is discovered they are not at all what they claim to be.
I would suggest the Dry Tortugas, or maybe one of the islands on the Aleutian chain.
Or, if you wanted to really stick it in the ear of the elites and affluents, Martha’s Vinyard.
No, no, no.
We have been told repeatedly that Trump does not flip flop on anything.
IF (and according to his supporters, it’s a big if) it appears that Trump has changed his position on anything (boots on the ground to defeat ISIS, for example, morphing into let Russia handle it) it’s because the world has changed since he made his first statement. It doesnt matter if the orginal statement was made mere weeks ago.
