PolitiFact ^ | June 18, 2016 | Louis Jacobson

After the mass shooting in Orlando by a man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reiterated his call for a temporary ban on Muslims coming to the United States ...

Trump [to Sean Hannity], "Assimilation has been very hard. It's almost -- I won't say nonexistent, but it gets to be pretty close. And I'm talking about second and third generation. They come -- they don't -- for some reason, there's no real assimilation." ...

wasn’t there a poll that said over 50 percent wanted shariah. Doesn’t sound very assimilated.

Let's just say I'm not much of a joiner and leave it at that!)
