Attacks In Brussels ‘The Fruit Of A Failed Immigration Policy’
Daily Caller ^ | March 22, 2016 | ALEX PAPPAS

Posted on 03/22/2016 10:19:57 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz cr97% says the attacks in Brussels are the result of “a failed immigration policy in Europe” and called on the United States to review its policies to “prevent radical Islamic terrorists from coming to America.”

“The attack in Brussels is in many ways the fruit of a failed immigration policy in Europe that has allowed a massive influx of radical Islamic terrorists into Europe,” Cruz told reporters during a press availability in Washington. “Europe is in the process of allowing policies to fundamentally threaten the safety and security of its citizens. That is a mistake.”

Asked about the United States’ Visa Waiver Program — which doesn’t require visas for visitors from 38 countries for stays of less than 90 days, Cruz said: “There’s no doubt we need serious scrutiny to the Visa Waiver Program.”

Belgium is among the countries part of the program, and NBC News noted Tuesday that the “tiny” country “with a population of just 11 million” has “the highest number per capita of militants fighting in Syria and Iraq.”

“The Visa Waiver Program was designed for a different era when those from Europe were not perceived to be threats,” Cruz said. “When Europe’s immigration policies allow radical Islamic terrorists to make Europe their home, we absolutely need to revisit our immigration policies across the board to prevent radical Islamic terrorists from coming to America.”

Terrorists detonated explosives at both the airport and on a metro train in Brussels during the morning rush hour on Tuesday.

Yes he did, but the Trump supporters will say it was Trumps idea from day one. Here are the facts, not that facts matter much to Trumpsters. :

“radical islamic terrorists,”

Just after 9-11 the bin Ladens and retinue were hustled out of the country.
Despite the fact that 17 of the 19 skyjack murderers were Saudis.
So we bomb the Taliban with great effect, then put boots on the ground in ... Iraq.
Why? Why allow this brood of `tearwrists’ to flee? And why release their kin from Gitmo to return to the battle field?

It’s similar to 3rd world banana republic coups where the deposed dictator is allowed to leave the country with all his swag.
Because the new guy realizes that he may some day be the old guy. It’s “professional courtesy,” it’s the way things are done.

Trump is changing the definition of “conservative” and the GOP old guard and their allies on the left are scared to death.
Go
Trump!
Win win win

I also think he may be close to calling for a wall on our Southern border. Go figure, since it was already approved by Congress.

....congrats to the lofo trumpery dude who doesn’t seem to know that Cruz boosted legislation to build 700 miles of WALL while the tRumpery was still talking touch-back amnesty over two years ago... but strumpets are too stupid to use the interwebs to learn the truth.... sad day on FR...

ymmv

However the religious aspect of Islam is greater and more dangerous than the other threats.

For Muslim believers in Allah and Muhammad, could there be a better motivation than doing what God wants done, and following the examples set by Muhammed? -Tom

Cruz is right on this... We need to be tougher on folks coming from Canada too...

Why would Trump say “All talk, no action!” ?

Listen to the video before you get so righteous. Try researching for yourself! Rather than running with the sheep.
