Donald Trump on Monday called for profiling of refugees and immigrants “from that part of the world” after this weekend’s attacks in New Jersey, New York and Minnesota.
“Israel has done an unbelievable job and they will profile,” Trump said in a phone interview on “Fox and Friends.” “They profile. They see somebody that's suspicious. They will profile. They will take that person in and check out. Do we have a choice? Look what's going on. Do we really have a choice? We're trying to be so politically correct in our country and this is only going to get worse."
This weekend saw an explosive injure 29 in Manhattan, explosive devices discovered in Seaside Park and Elizabeth, New Jersey, and a stabbing attack at a St. Cloud, Minnesota mall that injured nine. As of Monday morning, ISIS had taken credit for the stabbing in Minnesota, which was carried out by a Somali man who has lived in the U.S. for 15 years, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had labeled the Manhattan bomb an act of terrorism.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio cautioned against jumping to conclusions about the incidents, while Hillary Clinton said it was “important to know the facts” before making assumptions.
Trump did not take the same view, attributing all of the incidents to “radical Islamic terrorism.”
“You never solve the problem if you are afraid to use the real name. This is radical Islamic terrorism,” he said on Fox News.
“We're allowing these people to come into our country and destroy our country and make it unsafe for people,” Trump said, accusing President Barack Obama and Clinton of allowing “hundreds of thousands” of refugees to “pour into” the U.S. “We're allowing these people to come in. We don't want to—we don't want to do any profiling. If somebody looks like he's got a massive bomb on his back, we won't go up to that person and say, ‘I'm sorry,’ because if he looks like he comes from that part of the world, we're not allowed to profile. Give me a break.”
This is not the first time Trump has said that law enforcement should profile individuals from the Middle East. After Omar Mateen killed 49 people at a LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Florida in June, the real estate mogul said racial profiling was “something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country.”
He has not clarified how this profiling would apply to immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for years, like the suspect in the Minnesota stabbing, or U.S. citizens like Mateen.

I can break this one down
The British and Irish Protestants, as well as the US government, all designated the Provisional, Official, Continual and Real IRA as terrorist organizations, as they did with the INLA and other Irish Catholic armed groups.
Who funded them? Other armed groups, such as the Palestine Liberation Organization and governments such as Libya. Irish Catholic supporters in the US donated money as well. However, the largest amount of funding came from extortioning the neighborhoods the IRA controlled.
Irish Catholics were definitely profiled in Northern Ireland: your name and your neighborhood was the clearest indicator of your ethno-religious background. The British army also interred large amounts of Irish Catholics without trial for up to two years at a time. Some of these people were fighters, others family members of fighters, while a lot of folks were just Catholic and thus treated as guilty.
Any group that has any identifying features, such as skin color, common names, a common religion or common symbols ( crosses, stars of David or Crescent Moons) can be singled out and treated like the enemy. -
Common sense dicates if one group is bombing us we must look at that group
-
They dun gave this muhfucker fuel for his Legion of ? and Fourth ? sympathizers.
-
If common sense dictates then White males should be the majority of our Prison industrial complex. If common sense dictates White males should be on the same profiling list as Arab men.

Has America ever profiled white people ?

Hot takes abound

Is he really wrong though?
I'm far from a Trump supporter, but right after 9/11 we should've rounded up everyone from the Middle East and done the same thing we did with the Japanese U.S. citizens during World War II.
Either put them in a camp or give them the option to go back to their country.
Problem solved.
Better than having to deal with the Patriot Act and all the ? we have to go through at the airports now. -

Problem not solved what about the second generation people whose parents immigrated here from the mideast but they themselves were born here and are therefore American citizens -

Don't really care about their rights.
But, just for the sake of argument.........I don't see the harm in doing that to Middle Easterners who came here on some kind of temporary Visa or greencard. -

You do know what you're saying is used against black people right; that the majority of us are Thugs and ignorant and we'll ? and rob you -

Imo this is the type of thinking I think we should fight against. Because what does this lead to? How long before BLM gets labeled as a terrorist group? Then these white people will be pushing to send people out of this country who are citizens?

Ill just say Islam isnt a race.so u cant race profile a religion

What about believing it was middle easterners who carried out the 9/11 attacks in the first place?
-
we placing blame on the middle east....i think thats a bit unfair
the policies of other countries created this problem.
these people are responding.
its always been religious wars but ? started bombing wedding parties...
i dunno
black people are the last people that needs to say profile someone.
if every middle eastern person is guilty because of the actions of a few....then every black person is guilty becauae of the actions of a few...so we deserve the treatment we get if all of them deserve the treatment they get.
there is only one common denominator in all of this....an they keep slipping thru and distracting and deflecting. -

Problem is all they do is monitor. Seems nearly all these terrorists are on their radar, but they don't do ? .

So the police can blow a Black man's brains out just for walking down the street but they can't go into a Mosque? Makes perfect sense.

The Irish, Italians, the Ashkenazi, and white Latinos to a certain extent. Actually, I support this, but it would be used as an excuse to harass, arrest, and murder black people.
