Trump on Sunday called racial profiling of Muslims “common sense” as a strategy to prevent violence in America although his proposed policies would prove ineffective, experts say.
“I think profiling is something that we’re gonna have to start thinking about as a country,” he said in an interview with CBS’s Face The Nation. “I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to start using common sense. We have to use our heads.”
Trump called for this very same concept last year when he said he would consider making Muslim citizens register in a national database and havethem carry special identification. He has also repeatedly called for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and even said he would consider banning Muslims who are already citizens from being allowed in the country.
