REMINDER: Trump Said He Would Force All American Muslims To Register & Be Monitored

Trunp advocates are doing their best to change the subject from just how unconstitutional Trump's policies are. They are trying to shift the debate to the Iraq war and our current immigration policies.

We shouldn't let them get away with this. Remember, this is what Trump actually stands for. This is what the Khans are reacting to...

"NEWTON, Iowa — Donald J. Trump, who earlier in the week said he was open to requiring Muslims in the United States to register in a database, said on Thursday night that he “would certainly implement that — absolutely.”

Mr. Trump was asked about the issue by an NBC News reporter and pressed on whether all Muslims in the country would be forced to register. “They have to be,” he said. “They have to be.’’

When asked how a system of registering Muslims would be carried out — whether, for instance, mosques would be where people could register — Mr. Trump said: “Different places. You sign up at different places. But it’s all about management. Our country has no management.’’

Asked later, as he signed autographs, how such a database would be different from Jews having to register in Nazi Germany, Mr. Trump repeatedly said, “You tell me,” until he stopped responding to the question."
