Quote:I was talking about a press conference, not a speech. Did she do a press conference that I missed?

 

No.  But she did just finish talking to Morning Joe this today at 8:30AM and talked to Andersen Cooper a couple days ago.

 

Would you like to talk about this speech?  Since it is the topic at hand?  Here's another good exerpt:

 

He’d abolish the bedrock constitutional principle that says if you’re born in the United States, you’re an American citizen. He says that children born in

 

America to undocumented parents are, quote, "anchor babies" and should be deported.

Millions of them.

 

And he’d ban Muslims around the world – 1.5 billion men, women, and children –from entering our country just because of their religion.

Think about that for a minute. How would it actually work? People landing in U.S. airports would line up to get their passports stamped, just like they do now.  But in Trump’s America, when they step up to the counter, the immigration officer would ask every single person, "What is your religion?"

 

And then what?

 

What if someone says, "I’m a Christian," but the agent doesn’t believe them.

 

Do they have to prove it? How would they do that?

 

Ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, America has distinguished itself as a haven for people fleeing religious persecution. Under Donald Trump, America would distinguish itself as the only country in the world to impose a religious test at the border. Come to think of it, there actually may be one place that does that. It’s the so-called Islamic State. The territory ISIS controls. It would be a cruel irony if America followed its lead.
