“We’re letting people come in from terrorist nations that shouldn’t be allowed because you can’t vet them,” Trump said. “There’s no way of vetting them. You have no idea who they are. This could be the great Trojan horse of all time.”
Without mentioning the word “Muslim,” Trump said: “We must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place,” Trump said. “We don’t want them in our country.”
“Donald Trump’s latest rant suggesting we ban immigration from countries like the Philippines that are helping us fight terrorism is another example of his reckless rhetoric that’s based on fear and division and further proves he is unfit to lead our country,” said Hawaii’s U.S. Senator Brian Schatz.“For generations, Filipinos have made the United States their home,” Schatz said. “It is their vibrant culture, hard work, and strong values that have enriched our communities and made this country great, not the ignorant, racist bigotry of Donald Trump.”
“Filipinos on our island and across the country serve in uniform, in our hospitals, in our schools and across every private and public sector,” said Sen. Nerissa Underwood of Guam. “Filipinos are also beloved members of our families and communities.
“As a proud daughter from Iloilo in the Philippines, I am a grateful adopted daughter of Guam and horrified by Mr. Trump’s statement and the leaders who have chosen to support him. I have worked my entire life to give back to our island that we all call home. Hate, fear and division are not qualities we need in the U.S. President and should give Americans across the country concern on whether a Trump administration is fit to lead our country.”
RE: Trump says he would limit immigration from the Philippines: So do you think the USA should allow Muslim terrorist from the Philippines to immigrant there??
Re: Trump says he would limit immigration from Philippines:ban on Watch this video, a truly analytical and rational view of the inaccuracy of Reginald Parulan’s misinformation about Donald Trump. Donald Trump did not call Filipino’s’ “Animals” nor did he call the Philippines a “Terrorist Nation.” This Filipino decided to gain fame but spreading misinformation; it is unfortunate because he has taken advantage of his perceived credibility and fooled a lot of people. https://www.facebook.com/nonnie.carino.tavisola/videos/10210226214597687/
