Trump Calls for Ban on Immigration from Any Area with a History of Terrorism
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has cited the
Orlando attack to call for banning all immigrants from any country with
a history of terrorism against the U.S. or its allies. Trump said the
shooter was "born an Afghan, of Afghan parents," even though Mateen was
born in New York and is a U.S. citizen.

Donald Trump: "When I'm elected, I will suspend immigration from areas
of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the
United States, Europe or our allies, until we fully understand how to
end these threats. ... We cannot continue to allow thousands upon
thousands of people to pour into this country, many of whom have the
same thought process as this savage killer."
