Urges ban on Muslims coming to U.S.

In a written statement, Trump’s campaign says U.S. borders should be closed to Muslims.

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine.Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.

Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign manager, says the shutdown would would apply specifically to student visas, tourists, and other travelers to the United States. Trump confirms his policy would not apply to current Muslims in the U.S. during a Fox News interview.

I have Muslim friends, Greta, and they’re wonderful people. But there’s a tremendous section and cross-section of Muslims living in our country who have tremendous animosity. It does not apply to people living in the country, except we have to be vigilant.
