——and bar any American citizen who is muslim from re-entering the United States.——
Anybody else see some serious consitutional issues here...?
Business people, soldiers, people visiting relatives out of country, taxpayers ...?
Sorry, you are a citizen, but now in complete limbo...stuck in never, never land, a citizen without a country...
From what I can tell Trump never said that about citizens yet this is the 3rd article saying he did,
Immigrants= citizens?

I don’t think he said that. The ONLY thing remotely like that was Trump saying Muslim Americans who go overseas & enlist in ISIS to do jihad should not be welcomed back into the country. I believe there may be precedence for this bar to reentry.
Citizenship can be revoked. Having someone, who is a citizen, stay outside the country in perpetuity is called being “exiled”. There is nothing in the Constitution that this can not be done as far as I am aware of.
Ever hear of Benedict Arnold ?
Trump didn't say that, and all the Trump people on TV tonight are saying this applies only to NEW entrants, not folks already here legally.
Erickson is lying. Trump's statement does not say that. And Trump told Greta "we will take care of" Muslim AMERICANS.
Trump did not say that. he said that any American citizen, who goes to join ISIS or any other terrorist organization, should be barred from ever again returning to the U.S. - IOW, you go off to fight with Islamic terrorists, you forfeit your citizenship. Got it?
.....stuck in never, never land, a citizen without a country...
Is there a problem here?
No. In 1940’s Roosevelt did the same thing, but the Germans and Italians could not leave more than five blocks from their homes. He based it on a law from 1839.
This security measure is hardly new and temporary at that, until which time we get Obama the hell out of office.
Much hand wringing about nothing. The radicals are Muslim.
Profiling is common sense. Safety measures will save lives.
Do you want to risk yours to the open travel rules?
Don’t care. We are at war.
If Trump uttered those words, then his unilateral rescission of the constitution would finish his candidacy. But, I have found nowhere that he made that statement.
So you give them exactly 30 days to get back. Then it's game over.

Life’s a bitch.

“Donald Trump demanded we bar any muslims from entering this country and bar any American citizen who is muslim from re-entering the United States.”
Trump did not say that.
He said we should not let muslimes in until we can get a grip on who we are admitting, you know, vet them. Thing is, we hear the mom-jeans-wearing obummer say we are conducting extensive vetting, but a US born Christian citizen that never traveled abroad can take up to 2-yrs just to get a basic background check done by DHS. Seriously. So how are these muslime terrorist wanna-be’s going to be vetted extensively and quickly? They aren’t.
Trump did not say not to deny re-entry to American muslimes, he said if American muslimes leave the US to fight for ISIS then they should not be re-admitted back into the US.
Willful misstatement of his position is regular fare for the media and lefty-wingers and Trump haters. . .like JEB! and others.
If the left wants to throw a fit point out Obama wants American citizens on a no fly list and to take away their natural 2nd Amendment rights.
