Trump to propose ideological test for immigrants to U.S.


Donald Trump is expected to lay out specifics about his plan to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in what his campaign is billing as a major speech on terrorism in the key swing state of Ohio on Monday.

While his plan doesn't appear to explicitly call for a ban to block all Muslims from the U.S., Trump will repeat his proposal to suspend immigration for people coming from countries "with a history of exporting terrorism and where adequate screening cannot be performed." In July, the GOP presidential nominee characterized this as more of an expansion of the Muslim ban plan.

In the speech, which he'll deliver at Youngstown State, Trump will also call for a "new screening test to admit only those who support U.S. laws and values," according to a campaign official.

"We will also engage in the ideological fight, speaking with clarity about the threat of Radical Islam, which openly advocates for the oppression of women, gays, Christians, Jews and nonbelievers, etc," an outline of his campaign's plan says.

Trump is also expected to promise to work with local and federal law enforcement on new protocols for "identifying signs of radicalization," and he will forgo "the political correctness that could have stopped previous attacks."

The campaign did not make clear what the new screening test would entail.

At the same time, the campaign said, "The Trump Administration will be a friend to all moderate Muslim reformers in the Middle East and will amplify their voices in the fight against Radical Islam."

Trump is also expected to blast both President Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for creating the vacuum that led to the rise of ISIS. The campaign says that their "foreign policy is directly responsible for the rise of ISIS." It argues that it gained power as a result of the failure to establish a new status of forces agreement in Iraq and the U.S. troop withdrawal as well as pushing or supporting regime change in Libya, Syria and Egypt.

It would be a change from his claim last week that Mr. Obama and Clinton are the founders of ISIS. He then said that it was just "sarcasm," and then later modified that tweeted statement to "I'm being sarcastic, then - but not that sarcastic, to be honest with you," when he addressed a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania Friday.

"The Trump administration will force a new foreign policy focused on destroying ISIS, not regime change. It is clear that the focus on regime change has created the vacuums that allow terrorists to grow and thrive," the campaign said.

As president, the campaign said Trump would focus on conducting military operations with any country interested in destroying ISIS and he would target the terror group's funding sources and disrupt their ability to recruit and promote propaganda online. All of these proposals are already policies that the Obama administration has been pursuing.

Besides introducing the Muslim ban after the San Bernardino attack in December, Trump has not been forthcoming about his plan to take on ISIS and other terror groups, arguing that he doesn't want to tip off his enemies.

During the primary season, Trump promised "quickly and decisively bomb the hell out of ISIS" and in March, he suggested that he would be willing to support a massive ground force to take on the terror group.

Better stick to the teleprompter...

Some of this sounds troubling, but way better than his past statements.

Is this for those coming up from Mx. or just those coming through Ellis island?

I get so confused.........:o

It says he wants to work with local and federal law enforcement, so it would extend to US citizens as well.

How exactly will they be able to tell what someone's ideology is? Election thrower is throwing election.

Skin color, facial air and accent silly.......

Through a questionnaire. Here's one of the questions.

"Do you believe in marriage equality for LGBTs?" If you answer yes, you might be a terrorist and can't be let into the country. I wonder if most evangelical Christians know that Donald Trump's church supports gay marriage and gay clergy? Sure....it's their right to do that. But it this who people want setting up an "ideological screening" test?

So just a hypothetical question being that I am Catholic. How would this work if there was a terrorist attack sponsored by the IRA? Would the same standard be applied by banning Irish immigrants and/or go after people like me since I am a white, middle aged Catholic with some Irish heritage?

Another thing that scares me is monitoring for radicalization, with their be a government eye in the sky at every type of church service or just in masques?

Trump to propose ideological test for immigrants to U.S.

The questionnaire could be something to the effect of "do you pledge an oath to adhere to our laws and the Constitution over Sharia Law?"

If it's a test or 8 pm curfew, I say administer the test. It's only a matter of time before the deep state starts unleashing their sleeper cells and creating a Hegelian solution of their choosing.

It could, but it doesn't. Instead it looks like something the Southern Poverty Law Center cooked up. "Do you support gay rights? Do you believe in gender equality?" Seriously your boy Trump just gutted conservatives.....again.

I've lived here for over 50 years and I can't keep up with the laws that were written last quarter...........

If the Catholic church doesn't start ordaining women as priests and performing gay marriage ceremonies you risk being labeled a terrorist by Trump.

Yeah that should work. Terrorists are unable to lie. It's in their DNA.

OK, he just explained this in his speech today. He would use a process called "extreme vetting".

Brilliant move by Trump. By refining the test from religious to ideological he makes his position virtually unassailable. Hillary will either have to copy him or look like a potential Merkel in waiting.
