Ted Cruz: I Would Not Ban All Muslims from Entering the Country
Asked whether he would support an absurd proposal to ban Muslims from coming into the country — including Muslim citizens on vacation abroad who would be returning — Ted Cruz said:
“Well that, that is not my policy. I’ve introduced legislation in the Senate that would put in place a three year moratorium on refugees coming from countries where ISIS or Al Qaeda can control a substantial amount of territory. And the reason is that’s where the threat is coming from,” Cruz said.
He continued, “I think that’s the approach we should take and we need a commander and chief who is focused on keeping this nation safe. And the way we do so is focusing in particular on radical Islamic terrorism which is exactly what I intend to do.”
Virtually every Republican running agrees. As do I.
UPDATE: It is worth noting, as DRJ notes in comments, that Cruz is now leading the polls in Iowa. That makes him a winner, and those who are not leading . . . losers. #winning
