To fight back "radical Islamic terrorism" and to "make America safe again," Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump proposed today administering a new, ideological test for immigrants who want to enter the United States.
"We should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio, adding, “The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today.
“I call it extreme vetting,” Trump said.
Trump’s policy proposal today is an expansion on his call for a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the United States back in December.
“In addition to screening out all members of the sympathizers of terrorist groups, we must also screen out any who have hostile attitudes toward our country or its principles or who believe that Sharia law should supplant American law," Trump said today.
“To put these new procedures in place we will have to temporarily suspend immigration from some of the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world,” Trump said, adding that once he’s president, his State Department and Department of Homeland Security will curate the list of regions where the policy would apply.
Last week, Trump labeled President Obama and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as “the founders of ISIS,” which he later called “sarcasm” after initially insisting he meant it literally.
Today, Trump argued, “The rise of ISIS is the direct result of policy decisions made by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton.”
Trump repeatedly hit his opponent, saying the former secretary of state "lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS.”
Trump said the United States is done playing host to anyone who does not support this country.
“The support networks for radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one, viciously, if necessary. Viciously, if necessary," Trump said. "Immigration offices will also have their powers restored. They've been taken away.
Those who are guests in our country that are preaching hate will be asked to return home immediately and if they don't do it, we will return them home.”
