"It is time and Mr. Trump has said this, time and time again to put Americans first.Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Tuesday that the United States should take in zero Syrian refugees.
This is very simple, the bottom line is we should take in zero, Lewandowski said when asked by radio host John Fredericks what a President Trump would do about the refugee crisis.
While I understand our position in the global economy, and how important the United States is in world public affairs, it is time to look at the people who are in our country first who are struggling the middle class, the bottom class of people who cant survive and give them opportunities, said Lewandowski. And this is exactly what the issue is, when it comes to not just bringing in refugees, but illegal immigrants.
It is time to build a wall, it is time to make sure our borders are secure, it is time to make sure that the people who are at the lowest economic status in this country, their jobs are not being taken away from illegal immigrants who are coming to this country illegally, he continued. Why dont we let those people give them the opportunity to do the jobs, give them the opportunity to have a leg up, give them the opportunity to make their lives better, before we worry about the people in other parts of the world who arent U.S. citizens to begin with?

No candidate, Democrat or republican, can out-Trump Trump on this one. Zero is as low as you can go.

"You shall not oppress the stranger in your midst, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt."
That's in the Bible he keeps not reading.
Exodus 22:21, in case you're wondering.
