Trump: Racial profiling may be necessary

[kpete]

"We're allowing these people to come into our country and destroy our country and make it unsafe for people. We're allowing these people to come in," Trump said on "Fox & Friends."

"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 ... because, if he looks like he comes from that part of the world, we're not allowed to profile. Give me a break."

In June, the GOP nominee said the U.S. needs to start looking into the use of profiling to stop terrorism.

He said he doesn't like the concept, but it may be necessary.

"Other countries do it. You look at Israel and you look at others, and they do it and they do it successfully," he said during a June interview on CBS's "Face The Nation."

3. I don't see the word "race" in the article

Everyone knows Trump is a racist, but I don't see a smoking gun in the statements in this article.

America already treats visitors from countries with a lot of terrorist activity differently than those from non-terrorist countries.

Like many of Trump's proposals, this could be something that has been done for years.

5. This is part of his ploy

Drumpf attempts to frame arguments with this outrageous notion that nothing is currently being done. As if someone with a "massive bomb" on their back currently walks around unfettered just because they appear to come from a different country.

Yeah right!

6. Agreed, his plan is to do brand new things that we have been doing for years

He doesn't have any idea what's already being done.
