Trump To Enact ‘Extreme Vetting’ of Immigrants to US

Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio August 15, 2016.

He said, “My administration will aggressively pursue joint and coalition military operations to crush and destroy ISIS.International cooperation to cut off their funding, expanded intelligence sharing and cyberwarfare to disrupt and disable their propaganda and recruiting”. He said that foreign fighters would be tried by military commissions.

The candidate is also expected to call in the speech for declaring in explicit terms that, like during the Cold War, the nation is in an ideological conflict with radical Islam.

Trump challenged Hillary Clinton’s fitness to serve as president and vowed to block anyone who sympathizes with radical extremists.

Regarding immigration, Trump laid out the grounds for which the country would permit a person’s entry.

Saying he would “reject bigotry and oppression in all its forms” if elected president, Republican Donald Trump called for an immigration policy that would “only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people”.

The official called on the State Department to release a list of individuals who had obtained visas to the USA since 2001 who have since “been charged, implicated or accused of terrorism” in order to determine which countries should be banned.

His proposals were the latest version of a policy that began with his unprecedented call to temporarily bar foreign Muslims from entering the country.

The new proposal will include a ban for citizens of countries affected by terrorism, but did not specify which ones; screening new arrivals to make sure their “ideologies” align with “American values”; keeping open the controversial Guantanamo Bay prison; launching a commission into Islamic terrorism; forming alliances with nations fighting IS; and working with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, which he previously called “obsolete”.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, the billionaire’s Democrat rival, said Trump would be unsuitable as commander-in-chief.

As he has in the past, Trump said that finding “common ground” and partnering with Russian Federation against IS would be a “good thing” and an important step toward defeating the Islamic militants.

This proclamation aroused so much opposition that Mr. Trump changed his position – several times, in fact.

Meanwhile, a top American Muslim group opposed Trump’s policies.

During an MSNBC town hall event in Wisconsin, Trump said he was getting calls from friends of his – “They’re very rich Muslims” – who he said told him that the proposed ban was “a great thing”.

While Trump mentioned Syria and Iran as enemies of America, he said that if elected president he would ask the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to create a list of regions “where adequate screening can not take place”.

“The threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks”, he said, AP reported.

Trump has since said he was being sarcastic in accusing Obama of founding the Islamic State.

Still, he directly blamed Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton, who was secretary of state, for backing policies that “unleashed” the group, including withdrawing US troops from Iraq in late 2011.

During a stop in Milwaukee on Tuesday, Walker said the key to winning in November is for Trump to talk about Clinton’s problems, since he sees it as the best way for her to lose the race.

NATO is a military alliance of European and North American democracies founded after World War II to strengthen worldwide ties between member states, especially the United States and Europe, to serve as a counter-balance to the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact.

Donald Trump on Monday laid out a U.S. blueprint for defeating global terrorism in partnership with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and Middle East allies, demanding extreme restrictions on immigration and likening the fight to the Cold War.

“Trump himself would likely not gain entry into the U.S. if tested for basic American values of tolerance and pluralism, given that his proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States and his views on Latinos are in complete contradiction to America’s traditions of ethnic diversity and religious freedom”, he said. Trump did not clarify how USA officials would assess the veracity of responses to the questionnaires or how much staffing it would require to complete such vetting.

Trump called for a temporary suspension of immigration from places “that have a history of exporting terrorism”.

“As soon as I take office I will ask the state department and department of homeland security to identify a list of regions where adequate screening can not take place”, Trump continued.

Both Seder and the professor agree that stricter immigration screenings would be a good thing, but say it’s time now, more than ever, to work with and not against Muslim-Americans to help fight terrorism at home and overseas.

He again tried to change his politically inflammatory approach to immigration, replacing his vow past year to bar Muslims from entering the United States with a new commitment to bar anyone from parts of the world where terrorism breeds.

That proposal raised numerous questions that the campaign never clarified, including whether it would apply to citizens of countries like France, Israel, or Ireland, which have suffered recent and past attacks.

On July 24, Mr. Trump specified two of those “terror nations”: “I’m talking territory instead of Muslim”. He said destroying the terror group would be the centrepiece of his foreign policy and he would partner with any countries that share that goal – specifically singling out Russian Federation as a nation the USA could have an improved relationship with.

While Trump appeared to claim credit for prodding North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to focus more on the threat of terrorism, the 28-nation alliance has been grappling with the issue for more than a decade.

Russian Federation and the US have been discussing greater coordination in Syria, where IS is part of a volatile mix of groups fighting for power.

But the world powers have been unable to reach an agreement on which militant groups could be targeted. “Hood shooting, the Boston Bombing, the San Bernardino attack, the Orlando attack – is that they have involved immigrants or the children of immigrants”, Trump noted.

Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has been named in a corruption investigation in Ukraine, where officials are trying to track illegal payments from a pro-Russian political party that once hired the Washington political consultant.
