Apparently The Donald has never read the First or Fourth Amendments. Why not just demand Muslims sew yellow stars on their clothes and completely rehash history? Maybe we can throw them in concentration camps too while we're at it. Registering refugees is one thing, but unless he is being misrepresented by the media he is proposing to require all Muslims to be registered in the federal database. That would never stand up against constitutional muster and it's far too eerily similar to how Jews were treated 70 years ago in Germany. He also allegedly stated he wants to start allowing warrantless searches. If people are going to give in to this kind of fear and hysteria then we're going to lose our rights down the road more than we have already seen them eroded.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump voiced support Thursday evening for creating a mandatory database to track Muslims in the United States - the latest in an escalating series of responses following the deadly attacks in Paris.
'I would certainly implement that. Absolutely,' Trump told an NBC News reporter between campaign events in Newton, Iowa, according to video posted on MSNBC.com.
He said Muslims would be signed up at 'different places,' adding: 'It's all about management.'
Asked whether registering would be mandatory, Trump responded: 'They have to be.'
Donald Trump backs mandatory database to track Muslims in the U.S.
'We're going to have to - we're going to have to look at a lot of things very closely,' Trump told Yahoo News.
He also suggested he would consider warrantless searches, according to the outlet, saying: 'We're going to have to do things that we never did before.'
Asked by reporters Thursday night to explain his Yahoo comments, Trump suggested his response had been misconstrued. 'I never responded to that question,' he said.
Probably a plan for his second term....
