Thread: Trump Calls for 'Complete Shutdown' of Muslims Entering the U.S.

We solve our problem by shutting down Muslim immigration as Trump proposes in his press release until we have a proper vetting process. Rand Paul just introduced an Amendment to the ObamaCare bill that required the same thing and Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Richard Shelby, Mitch McConnell, Mark Kirk, Rand Paul and 4 other Republicans voted for it.

I support shutting down all immigration for at least 10 to 20 years, so I have no problem with starting with Muslim immigration.

The only reason this is a big deal today when it wasn't yesterday when the US Senate voted on just such a measure is because Donald Trump said it, which is why he said it, to get this issue front and center where it should have been yesterday when the US Senate voted on the Paul Amendment and it failed. It should have passed, but there was no significant media coverage of it and not enough Americans knew about it to lobby for it.

As for Jordanians and Egyptians who want to come here? So what? We have no room for them or anyone else. Our inns are full, our pot is boiling over, we don't have jobs for them without taking them away from Americans, we don't have any money for welfare which the vast majority sign up for when they get here, we can't afford them, we don't want them and we don't need them, not from Jordan, Egyp,r Mexico, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, England, Australia, Canada or from anywhere else.

My opinion of the situation is that we need a 10 to 20 year Moratorium on All Immigration, so what he's calling for is 100% fine with me, it's just not enough. We need a long-term Moratorium on All Immigration not just Muslim Immigration, all of it, to give us time to sort out this despicable disaster, deport illegal aliens, get Americans back to work, get American wages back up to a sustainable level, reduce this outrageous poverty level and the incredible cost of supporting people who can't support themselves, balance our federal budget, and pay down this outrageous national debt.

We have far bigger problems in this country than worrying about the religious sensitivities and "dreams" of people in other countries.

Well I would say most of that makes sense. Tell me, do you still favor the idea of deputizing people to make house-to-house searches in an effort to deport all the illegal aliens?

Hey now, easy friend. Nobody here is talking about any door to door searches or camps or any of that other stuff the illegal alien supporters have been throwing around.

Besides, the point of this thread is for everyone to please weigh in on how they feel about what Donald Trump has just said on this important issue. We have lot of people reading this discussion and i dont want it to digress into a tense debate.

We all know that our existing laws... adequately enforced can reverse illegal immigration just like the ALIPAC Platform advocates in detail here...

I agree with Trump.

Mr. Trump's proposed policy is the correct one for the security of America.

Trump branding removed from Dubai development amid uproar

Gulf Arab states have expressed outrage over Trump’s recent comments about Muslims

The image and name of American presidential hopeful Donald Trump was gone on Friday from much of a Dubai golfing and housing development amid the uproar over his comments about barring Muslims from traveling to the United States.

The disappearance of Trump branding from the multibillion-dollar development in the United Arab Emirates comes amid growing concern over his comments in the Middle East, where he has long sought moneymaking opportunities.

Some of his deals appear to be in jeopardy, with the company behind the Trump Towers in Istanbul now saying it is "assessing" its partnership with him.

Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, had a deal with Damac Properties to license his name and image for the Dubai development — Akoya, a housing project and two golf courses — for an undisclosed sum.

A billboard showing him and his daughter, Ivanka Trump, had been at the development.

On Friday their images had been removed, revealing the sign's brown background, though the other half of the billboard, declaring the development "the Beverly Hills of Dubai," still stood.

Also, pieces of letters that appeared to spell out "Trump" had been pulled down from a stone wall and left lying on the sandy ground. His name was still on at least one other stone wall at the property,

which was being patrolled by private security guards and police.

Damac Properties has declined to comment on the removal of his name and image from the property. It earlier said it "would not comment further on Mr. Trump's personal or political agenda nor comment on the internal American political debate scene."

The company's shares have fallen in the wake of his comments, losing more than 15 percent over the past week in trading on the Dubai Financial Market.

Trump increasingly has used the licensing model in recent years, lending his name to others around the world rather than developing big real estate projects himself. Fellow developers have praised

Trump as a pioneer of what they call a nearly risk-free business.

But some of his rhetoric about Islam on the campaign trail — including his call to monitor mosques and his proposal this week to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the U.S. — has led to increased

wariness in the Arab world. Earlier this week, the Dubai-based Landmark Group pulled all Trump home decor products from its 180 Lifestyle stores over his comments.

The Gulf Cooperation Council on Thursday, after a meeting of its members' leaders, said, "The Supreme Council expressed its deep concern at the increase of hostile, racist and inhumane rhetoric against

refugees in general and Muslims in particular."

I respect your wishes on this, but in fact Judy did advocate exactly what I said she did several years ago, and I always wanted to get back to her on it but never did. But since it's off the current topic I can bring it up another time.
