Trump Calls for Ideology Tests for Immigrants to Weed Out Terrorists

Russian Federation and the US have been discussing greater coordination in Syria, where the Islamic State is part of a volatile mix of groups fighting for power. Presidential nominees do not need to have a special security clearance to receive the briefings.

The father of the Muslim American soldier killed in action in Iraq who famously criticized Donald Trump’s call to halt Muslim immigration, has now challenged the Republican candidate to take the U.S.naturalization test.

Trump said he would convene an worldwide conference and work with moderate Muslim leaders in the Middle East. “She also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on [the Islamic State group] and all of the many adversaries we face”.

Donald Trump says that as president he would end “our current strategy of nation-building and regime change” because they don’t work.

Reiterating a favourite criticism of Republicans, Trump also panned the Obama administration for not using the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” to describe sympathizers. “It’s got to be stopped”, he said. “A neighbor saw suspicious behavior, bombs on the floor and other things, but didn’t warn authorities because they said they didn’t want to be accused of racial profiling”.

The United States can find common ground with Russian Federation in the effort, Trump said, citing the country’s intervention in Syria.

At home he demanded new immigration screening, saying that the perpetrators of a series of attacks in the United States-including the September 11, 2001, hijackings, the 2013 Boston bombings and the recent mass shooting in an Orlando nightclub-involved “immigrants or the children of immigrants”. “A divider like Trump can never be the steward of this country”, he told the Huffington Post, referring to the test that immigrants must pass to become a U.S. citizen. “I call it extreme, extreme vetting”, Trump said.

“One of my first acts as president will be to establish a Commission on Radical Islam”, Trump declared, whose goal would be to “identify and explain to the American public the core convictions and beliefs of radical Islam, to identify the warning signs of radicalization and to expose the networks in our society that support radicalization”.

Donald Trump’s immigration control proposals aimed ostensibly at keeping out terrorists is being met with skepticism and incredulity about its feasibility given America’s expansive immigration history and constitutional protection for religious freedom.

“This so-called “policy” can not be taken seriously”.

“This so-called “policy” can not be taken seriously. It’s a cynical ploy to escape scrutiny of his outrageous proposal to ban an entire religion from our country and no one should fall for it”.

The State Department would be tasked with determining those areas, he said, adding that “there are many such regions”.

Biden’s folksy demeanor and ability to connect with working-class voters is considered an asset for Clinton particularly among blue-collar white male voters who lean toward her Republican rival.

And while the Republican presidential nominee argued against nation-building in a foreign policy speech Monday, he advocated for something even more grandiose: seizing Iraq’s oil wealth in the aftermath of the USA invasion in 2003 that toppled Saddam Hussein. He also repeated the dubious claim that he had opposed the Iraq War “from the beginning” and criticized both the war and the subsequent withdrawal of U.S. troops, before saying that “we should have kept the oil in Iraq”-a long-standing position of his that, on its face, amounts to an endorsement of the idea that the United States should engage in wars to seize foreign resources”.
