Trump says refugees are ‘animals’ who pose a hidden threat

Source: AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump launched new attacks on immigrants Thursday, telling supporters that Somalis and other refugees from “terrorist nations” should be barred entry to the United States.

“We are letting people come in from terrorist nations that shouldn’t be allowed because you can’t vet them,” Trump, who has built his campaign around an anti-immigration platform, said at a rally in Portland, Maine.

“You have no idea who they are. This could be the great Trojan horse of all time,” he said, reprising a warning that terrorists including members of the Islamic State extremist group will sneak into the United States as refugees. “This is a practice that has to stop.”

He pointed to the Somali immigrant population as an example of the “thousands” of refugees who have flooded into Maine and other US states and caused problems.

They are wonderful guys and great teachers of the game. They clearly love our kids. They work their asses off all day every day, and then teach kids soccer for almost nothing. My kid loves them and they are great role models.

Oh, and by the way we are Jewish and both Somalis are practicing Muslims.

Also by the way: the team is undefeated
