Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump reacted to the apparent terrorist attack that resulted in at least 28 dead and 130 injured in Brussels earlier in the day.
Trump made the case to close the U.S. borders until “we figure out what is going on.”

“You can’t completely close the borders of the country, effectively shutting down not only leisure travel by Americans going overseas and all foreigners wishing to come here, but all international business and commerce as well.”
That is not what he meant and everyone knows it. He was talking about keeping terrorists out of the U.S.
Are you opposed to that? If you are then say so. Stop making up things about “shutting down all business and commerce.”
Bush is on the Cruz team.
Remember, It was Bush who AFTER 911 allowed in MORE Muslims into the U.S. than were allowed in the previous two decades.
Obama’s comment on the Muslim terrorist attack in Belgium must’ve been a very short sentence, because I missed that. Well, can’t blame him for not letting the attack rain on his own parade in Havana on such a joyous occasion for himself and the Marxist Cuban rulers.
Remember, It was Bush who AFTER 911 allowed in MORE Muslims into the U.S. than were allowed in the previous two decades.
Remember, the Bush's are now part of the Cruz team.
And it was Bush who AFTER 911 allowed in MORE Muslims into the U.S. than were allowed in the previous two decades.
Yes, and Real Conservatives want Cheap Labor and Amnesty for those who broke the law
While requesting that everyone else obey the law
Cruz is an ass.
No matter what the topic now, his first response always begins with : “Donald Trump.....”
Man up Ted! You’re showing zero leadership as a person who constantly claims they have the balls to be President.
Until we get a consensus on restricting immigration, of ALL forms.
We don’t need immigrants, we’re over 300 million already, crowded mostly into cities, and especially along the coasts. Paving over farmlands and destroying habitats to accommodate Third Worlders in light of almost a 100 million out of the labor force.
So yeah, “until we can figure out what’s going on”
I remember.
Thanks.
Some people 'figured it out'....
In 1786, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson met with Arab diplomats from Tunisia, who were conducting terror raids and piracy against American ships (Barbary Pirates). Writing to John Jay, Thomas Jefferson described what he saw as the main issue and the reason why they were attacking Americans who had done them no harm. The following quote is from Thomas Jefferson....
“We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the Grounds of their pretensions to make war upon a Nation who had done them no Injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our Friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation. THE AMBASSADOR ANSWERED US THAT IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE LAWS OF THEIR PROPHET, THAT IT WAS WRITTEN IN THEIR KORAN, THAT ALL NATIONS WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THEIR AUTHORITY WERE SINNERS, THAT IT WAS THEIR RIGHT AND DUTY TO MAKE WAR UPON THEM WHEREVER THEY COULD BE FOUND, AND TO MAKE SLAVES OF ALL THEY COULD TAKE AS PRISONERS, AND THAT EVERY MUSSELMAN (MUSLIM) WHO SHOULD BE SLAIN IN BATTLE WAS SURE TO GO TO PARADISE"

We already know what’s going on, Donald, and the implication is we will open our borders once “we know what’s going on”. Wimpy - borders need to STAY closed.
Another Trump shoot from the hip, that is likely to not go well, for us.
Maximizing scrutiny of anyone having been to any muslim country or of muslim origin and refusing “iffy” one’s entry is one thing, but CLOSING THE BORDERS is a whole nuther thing indeed. Talk about disrupt most everything...... reminiscent of throwing baby out with the bathwater.
The big deal is that Big Business wants it’s cheap labor used to Third World living standards.
As to Islam in America, there simply is no solution to this problem that doesn’t require consequences that sadly and by necessity accrue to all Muslims.
We cannot continue to be asked to distinguish “radical” Muslims from non radical ones. We can no longer be asked to read minds.
Islam should lose its status as a religion. Sharia, being a military faction of an invasion, makes the necessary legal distinction.
Families of perpetrators should be interned, and/or deported. Consequences.
Mosques should be closed and “freedom of assembly” forfeited by adherents of the “religion”. Consequences. No apologies.
Citizens must be legally allowed to profile, report, and receive protection. Consequences. No apologies.
Harsh? Perhaps. Unfair to innocents? Definitely. Will it work? Possibly, but continuing to play nice will without doubt result in more dead Americans.
America must become the most inhospitable place in the world for adherents of Islam and Sharia law.
No one is even doing that.
Trump is saying to stop allowing terrorists to freely enter the United States as the Obama administration is doing now.
Secure the borders, secure the nation!
It was Bush who AFTER 911 allowed in MORE Muslims into the U.S. than were allowed in the previous two decades.
The Bush family has now joined the Cruz campaign.
Silly person. Cruz never says anything until his team of advisers get a chance to figure out what will appeal the most to the largest demographic likely to vote for him. We should start hearing from him later today.
“Secure the borders, secure the nation!”
Exactly.
And end this politically correct nonsense that we need to be welcoming to those who hate us and want to kill us.
