Lion Heart 15,041 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Donald Trump made clear this weekend that he has not rolled back his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, despite top allies insisting that he had. During an interview this weekend with NBC's "Meet the Press," host Chuck Todd asked Trump whether his comment should be interpreted as a "slight rollback." "I don't think so. I actually don't think it's a rollback. In fact, you could say it's an expansion," Trump said. "I'm looking now at territory." .. In the "Meet the Press" interview, which was conducted Saturday, Trump said his proposed ban is constitutional. "Just remember this: Our Constitution is great, but it doesn't necessarily give us the right to commit suicide, okay?" he said. "Now, we have a religious, you know, everybody wants to be protected. And that's great. And that's the wonderful part of our Constitution. I view it differently. Why are we committing suicide? Why are we doing it? But you know what? I live with our Constitution. I love our Constitution. I cherish our Constitution. We're making it territorial. We have nations and we'll come out, I'm going to be coming out over the next few weeks with a number of the places." Todd then pressed Trump on specific scenarios: France and Germany have been compromised by terrorism, so would he limit all immigration from these countries? Trump repeatedly avoided answering the question, instead saying that it's the fault of these countries that they have been attacked by terrorists. "You could get to the point where you're not allowing a lot of people to come into this country," Todd said. "Maybe we get to that point," Trump responded. "Chuck, look at what's happening. Look at what just took place in Afghanistan, where they blow up a whole shopping center with people, they have no idea how many people were even killed. Happened today. So we have to be smart and we have to be vigilant and we have to be strong. We can't be the super people." Todd again pushed Trump on how he would handle immigrants from France, Germany and Spain. "Here is what I want: extreme vetting," Trump said. "Tough word — extreme vetting. We have to have tough, we're going to have tough standards. And if a person can't prove that they're from an area, and if a person can't prove what they have to be able to prove, they're not coming into this country. And I would stop the Syrian migration and a Syrian from coming into this country in two seconds." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/07/24/donald-trump-is-expanding-his-muslim-ban-not-rolling-it-back/#comments ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAnotherDay 8,402 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Conservatives are so hypocritical, when we're discussing gun control the constitution is the most important thing there is but the second we talk about something they don't like, like Syrian immigration it's suddenly okay to break the constitution smh was NickARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Someone should tell Trump that "Smart" policy is never Lazy 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Just saw this interview on Meet the Press. Trump is going to include France and probably Germany and Spain in this "extreme vetting". He also said absolutely no Syrians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
