Donald Trump Compares Immigration to "Suicide"
----------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Trump also told Chuck Todd that he expanded his call for a
ban on immigration during his speech at the RNC Thursday.

Chuck Todd: "This feels like a slight rollback."

Donald Trump: "I don't think I'd pull back."

Chuck Todd: "Should we interpret that as that?"

Donald Trump: "I don't think so."

Chuck Todd: "OK."

Donald Trump: "I actually don't think it's a pullback. In fact, you
could say it's an expansion. I'm looking now at territories. People were
so upset when I used the word 'Muslim.' Oh, you can't use the word
'Muslim.' Remember this. And I'm OK with that, because I'm talking
territory instead of Muslim. But just remember this: Our Constitution is
great. But it doesn't necessarily give us the right to commit suicide,
OK? Now, we have a religious-you know, everybody wants to be protected.
And that's great, and that's the wonderful part of our Constitution. I
view it differently. Why are we committing suicide?"
