As far as what some candidates have said, I think I’ve been very clear on this. One of the great strengths of the United States and part of the reason we have not seen more attacks on the United States.

We have an extraordinarily successful, patriotic, integrated Muslim-American community. They do not feel ghetto-ized. They do not feel isolated. Their children are our children’s friends, going to the same schools. They are our colleagues in our workplaces. They’re our men and women in uniform, fighting for our freedom. And so any approach that would single them out or target them for discrimination is not only wrong and un-American, but it would also be counter-productive.

Because it would reduce the strength, the anti-bodies that we have to resist terrorism. As far as the notion of having surveillance of neighborhoods where Muslims are present, I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance.

Which, by the way, the father of Senator Cruz escaped for America, the land of the free. The notion that we would start down that slippery slope makes absolutely no sense.

Drop the mic!

1. Well said! Cruz is so smug thinking he can be Little Donny Hair piece.

Both Cruz and Trump pushing a hard fascist line of monitoring and rounding up Muslims. The POTUS steps up and reminds them they are still just bickering children. Such tiny men compared to Obama.

2. Especially Trump.

You have heard about the "Trump footlongs" at a Chicago hot dog stand, right? They're three inches long!

[Rex]

3. Oh yes! That was sheer marketing genius!

I hope that made him flip his wig!

[KamaAina]

10. I don't know. I mean, three inches?

Isn't that a little optimistic?

12. A-freakin'-men!!!!

This is also true of all white Americans whose parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents fled oppression only to hurl the same evil at current immigrants.

You tell'em, Mr. President!!

14. Those DARNED white people. nt

13. Isn't it unusual for a sitting President to comment on an upcoming Presidential election?. nt

15. But this is different.

Rafael's daddy fought for the communists but did not make it in the higher echelons.

Now Rafael wants to be the one doing the surveillance.

17. Well, the media would never point it out, so someone had to. Kudos Mr. President.
