TRUMP: 'We have to maybe check, respectfully, the mosques' [View all]

Source: Business Insider

Donald Trump called for the surveillance of mosques in light of the terrorist attack in Orlando, saying that the US hasn't been "smart" and "vigilant."

During a rally on Wednesday, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee again cautioned against letting immigrants into the country without proper screening.

Trump said:

In speaking to numerous governors over the last few days, really, a great group of people, and in speaking to them, they really are beside themselves. Because they say "people are being put in our states" and they have absolutely nothing to say about it. They don't know who they are, where they are, they don't know where they're being placed. And even from the standpoint of law enforcement, that's a bad thing.

He then said that police aren't doing enough to monitor communities.
