Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump is calling for “a total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the United States, until lawmakers “can figure out what is going on.”
In a statement posted on his campaign website Monday, Trump laid out his proposal for “preventing Muslim immigration.” He wrote, “According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population.”
The GOP frontrunner also cited a poll from the Center for Security Policy, a conservative think tank, which stated, “25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad.”
