Trump says that he does not like idea of profiling, but it is something that our country needs to look into as another means of preventing possible attacks.
Quote:Donald Trump said Sunday that in the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando, it's time for the United States to start looking at racial profiling as a preventative tactic.
"Well I think profiling is something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country," the presumptive GOP nominee said in a phone interview with CBS' "Face the Nation. "Other countries do it, you look at Israel and you look at others, they do it and they do it successfully.
And I hate the concept of profiling but we have to start using common sense and we have to use our heads."
"It's not the worst thing to do," he added.

But of course, since it was Trump that mentioned it, many people are unsettled by it, even tho profiling has been brought up before in the past.
Profiling is used in many countries when stopping drug mules, as well as terrorists.
Trump also mentioned peaceful Muslims themselves need to 'speak up and say something' when they notice something suspicious in their community.
Quote:On Sunday, the GOP politician also said attacks like Orlando would stop if those in the Muslim community would "report" suspicious things.
Now that is one point that I think many would agree with.
As it is right now, no one in the peaceful Muslim community says anything, one way or the other.
They just remain silent.
And that needs to change.
But profiling, even tho it is controversial for many, I would be okay with especially if more attacks on American soil happen.
To be honest, some profiling probably occurs anyway just not publicized.
Yes, if Hillary had said the exact same words, the demos would be out there cheering it on and getting the Big O to start the new laws on it!
Profiling is better than not doing anything in my opinion and this current administration has been masterfully perfect at that.
Don't know if any of you know but before Obama steps down, you will have acquired 1,000,000 new refugees. A Million !
Ignoring Radical Islam like Obama and his likes do is not only dangerous but it stinks to high hell. Why do they keep ignoring a problem that just keeps on growing and growing unless they somehow have an agenda regarding it?
Trump is raising the question and he has every right to.
I like how he compared banning immigrants temporarily from the known terrorist countries, to the crisis Ebola when it first occured
Quote:Tell me if I am wrong,” said Murray. “Tell me if my memory is failing. I seem to recall that a couple of years ago, when three Western African nations were threatened by a frightening outbreak of the Ebola virus, nations like Australia, Jamaica and the United States placed an immediate ban on travelers from those nations.
The decision was founded on the common sense belief that while the overwhelming majority of citizens living in Sierra Leone and Liberia were not carrying the Ebola virus, some were, and that at that point no one knew who they were. Therefore the safe play was to place an embargo on all of them, all of them who wanted to leave their countries and find safety here. It would have been phenomenally and criminally stupid to risk the welfare of our own citizens in order to genuflect to "migrant rights", would it not?
“What I don't recall, however, is hearing any outraged liberal or Social Justice Warrior denounce this temporary measure as bigoted and ignorant. I don't remember any of them calling public health officials "racist", or lashing out a politician who backed the decision of the Center for Disease Control to act swiftly to protect Americans. After all, the first responsibility of elected leaders is to ensure public safety.
Nope-- no insults were thrown around when the temporary ban on travelers from those nations was put in place.
No one was called a racist or bigot, which is nice for a change really.
The personal attacks often remind me of a 5 yr old, except they are from educated grown ups, go figure.
And Trump did not say 'permanently' ban them despite what the MSM says.
Trump said TEMPORARY ban them until they are PROPERLY vetted.
God forbid someone wants to lookout for our country's National Security and it's citizens.
You wait .....it will take another attack or two on our soil, before people start coming around and side with Trump.
Sad thing tho, how many more people have to die before we do anything about it?
