The Philippines considers permanently banning Donald Trump

Source: International Business Times

A lawmaker in the Philippines filed a resolution Monday that seeks to permanently ban U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from entering the country following his campaign speech last week where a he named the Southeast Asian country as one of the “terrorist nations.”

During a rally in Portland, Maine, Trump announced that immigrants came to the U.S. legally and then plotted to murder Americans. He said that countries like the Philippines, Somalia, Syria, Morocco, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Yemen were sending such people to the U.S. and called them “terrorist nations.”

“We’re letting people come in from terrorist nations that shouldn't be allowed because you can’t vet them,” the real estate mogul said, “There’s no way of vetting them. You have no idea who they are. This could be the great Trojan horse of all time.”

Following Trump’s comments from Thursday, Congressman Joey Sarte Salceda filed a resolution in Manila’s House of Representatives. The resolution reads, “There is no feasible basis or reasonable justification to the wholesale labeling of Filipinos as coming from a ‘terrorist state’ or they will be a Trojan horse. This comes from a long line of pronouncements where he has demonstrated an unrepentantly negative, dysfunctionally nativist, aggressively adversarial attitude towards immigrants in the U.S. where he aspires to be the leader.”

and she has a daughter who I am helping to raise. I'm daddy, in other words. Neither of them are terrorists, although they sometimes yell at me. In fact, my non terrorist daughter is downstairs watching some sort of cartoon show on tv right now. I hope there are no terrorist messages hidden in there anywhere.

And there are millions of legal Filipino immigrants in this country doing important and critical jobs.. nurses, doctors, engineers, etc.

The Philippines has a problem with a small group of radical vicious terrorists in the far south of the country. They infrequently carry out bombings and have kidnapped people for ransom. The Filipino govt is doing everything they can to eliminate them but its difficult... just like its difficult to deal with terrorists in this country.

Trump is a sick ignorant ass and should never have been even considered as the nominee for a major political party.

Then we can ban him from re-entering the United States, and leave him to the tender mercies of the Filipinos.

Moron Don seems very happy to do business in a "terrorist" nation.
