Trump warns Syrian refugees could be 'one of the great Trojan horses'

Donald Trump continued his criticism of President Obama's Syria policy Monday, hours after Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said the President has no plans to halt the acceptance of refugees from the war-torn country.

"We cannot let them into this country, period," the Republican presidential hopeful told CNBC.

Trump continued, "We have no idea who these people are, we are the worst when it comes to paperwork.

"This could be one of the great Trojan horses," he said.

exactly!

Thank you....we need to ping all our FRiends and get them here on this thread to STAND UP FOR AMERICA!!!

"We cannot let them into this country, period." Damn that man is good!!! Go Trump, Go!!!

Are you that easily impressed?

Within hours of this happening ON THE DAY IT HAPPENED, an even better man posted on his website:

... Their only goal is to murder those who do not submit to their vicious, totalitarian ideology. Our deepest condolences go out to our French allies .... We must now face the facts. Between the downing of the Russian jet over Egypt and this massive coordinated attack on Paris, we are seeing an unmistakable escalation of ISIS' ambitions and the scale of their terrorist attacks outside Syria and Iraq. Even as chaos rages in Paris, we need to take immediate, commonsense steps to preserve our own safety.... We must immediately recognize that our enemy is not 'violent extremism.' It is the radical Islamism that has declared jihad against the west. It will not be appeased by outreach or declarations of tolerance. It will not be deterred by targeted airstrikes with zero tolerance for civilian casualties, when the terrorists have such utter disregard for innocent life. We must make it crystal clear that affiliation with ISIS and related terrorist groups brings with it the undying enmity of America -- that it is, in effect, signing your own death warrant."

And long before, on Oct. 5, the same man was saying publicly: "Allowing Syrian refugees into the U.S. is 'Nothing short of Crazy.'"

Trump may be "good," but Cruz was outspoken and all over this way ahead of Trump. You just didn't see it. So you're impressed with a "could be" over a real politician and conservative who makes it clear that there's no "could" about it, and has been calling for stopping Syrian refugees to the U.S. since at least Oct. 5!

Cruz to victory and liberty.

[redfreedom]

A fifth column would be a better analogy.

[Finny]

Yeah. And when Cruz has been warning and stating clearly that bringing Syrian refugees here is "nothing short of crazy" since at least Oct. 5!

But he's not a celebrity or a billionaire.

[Finny]

Isn't it amazing ... Cruz was way ahead of Trump on this, all the way back to at least Oct. 5 ... and you simply failed to hear him or take him into consideration.

But Cruz isn't a celebrity billionaire and pop culture icon. Maybe that's why you didn't hear him.

[HarleyLady27]

We are not here to pump up our Candidates...this is for the ‘Trojan horse’ that Obama is trying to shove down our throats...this is for AMERICA!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Gets him out of the schoolyard fight with Ben Carson and taking on POTUS mano-y-mano on an issue where the majority agrees with Trump.

Good. Very good.

“This could be the ultimate Trojan horse. This one could be written about for a long time,” he said at a campaign event in Franklin, Tennessee.
“They probably think, “This is going to be easy. We will send all these ISIS people.” So a big percentage could be them.”

This campaign event was on October 3,2015

Puleeze!!! Yes you are. I see people here fawning over Trump -- who to his credit on Oct. 1 stated clearly that if he is elected president, he'll send all the Syrian refugees home (whereas Cruz said on Oct. 5 that brining them here in the first place is "noting short of crazy", which is at least as spot-on and IMO more forcefully to the point than the "Trojan Horse" analogy).

Trump is doing just exactly the same as the other great candidate except phrasing it more carefully than Cruz's outright language putting it damned straight. I am sick of seeing people here falling on their backs and peeing over their heads in delight at how Trump is just so marvelous, so wonderful, for saying the same things Cruz has been saying better and more aggressively.

The key here is for you to study is Oct 1 VS Oct, 5th.

Of course it's "crazy". And why Trump said he send them all back, 5 days before Cruz said anything.

This is not complex.

“I am sick of seeing people here falling on their backs and peeing over their heads in delight at how Trump is just so marvelous, so wonderful, for saying the same things Cruz has been saying better and more aggressively.”

“Better” is subjective.

However your insulting manner is not. The mire you insult is, the more we coalesce around Trump :)

[Jane Long]

Is this really where you want to stoop to? A new low?

You, with your TDS affliction, are the ONLY one “peeing over your head” and all over yourself, at the first mention of Trump.

Get over your Trump angst and get on board the #TrumpTrain....restrooms are located at the back of each car. We’ll reserve one, just for Finny.

[HarleyLady27]

Our States are seeing the light...thank goodness...we have to stop this ‘Syrian refugees’ Trojan horse...for America and for Americans!!!

Called Gov. Haslam (TN) today and will continue to call EVERY DAY until he says something!

So far 10 Governors have shut down taking Syrian refugees...WOOHOO...lets keep at it, for AMERICA!!!

Two of the terrorists sent over from ISIS to attack France had their boat sink on the way over.

European naval patrol boats rescued them and saved their lives.

They repaid that kindness with an unprovoked attack terror attack that killed hundreds.

They also executed the attack under the full knowledge that the Europeans were decent people and not monsters.

Says a lot about the mentally of these people and for this reason I cannot support relocating the so called refugees to America.
