Trump Says His Immigration Policies Would Have Prevented 9/11 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Republican candidate Donald Trump has claimed the 9/11 attacks would not
have happened if he had been president. Speaking on Fox News Sunday,
Trump said his tough immigration policies would have stopped the
hijackers.

Donald Trump: "I am extremely, extremely tough on illegal immigration.
I'm extremely tough on people coming into this country. I believe that
if I were running things, I doubt those families would have—I doubt
that those people would have been in the country. So there is a good
chance that those people would not have been in our country. With that
being said, I'm not blaming George Bush, but I don't want Jeb Bush to
say, 'My brother kept us safe,' because September 11 was one of the
worst days in the history of this country."
