Trump: Close Borders, Step up Surveillance of Mosques

Finally, Trump is proposing what should have been done immediately after 9/11. Instead, we have 1.5 million more Muslims to monitor. Reuters:

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, reacting to attacks at Brussels airport and a metro station on Tuesday, said the United States and Western countries should toughen up in their fight against Islamist militants.

“I would close up our borders,” Trump told Fox News in an interview.

“We are lax and we are foolish,” said Trump, the front-runner in the race for the Republican nomination in the November election.

More from the Daily Mail:

Donald Trump commented on the suicide bombings that occurred in Brussels Tuesday morning just hours after the brutal terror attacks.

‘Do you all remember how beautiful and safe a place Brussels was. Not anymore, it is from a different world! U.S. must be vigilant and smart!’ wrote the Republican front-runner on Twitter.  

Trump then said in an interview on Fox News the US needs to ‘shut the borders,’ a statement he repeated later in the morning while appearing on Today.

In that appearance he also told Matt Lauer he is a firm believer in using torture to get information from people behind attacks like the one in Brussels, stating; ‘Waterboarding is fine.’

Trump also called into Mornings with Maria Bartiromo saying that the US must have surveillance of Muslims in this country, particularly at mosques.

Amen.
