Trump called for ideological testing for immigrants in a speech on Monday — a process he described as “extreme vetting” — and said he would “temporarily suspend immigration.”
In his latest remarks, which were vague and did not establish specific ways to implement his newest plans, he suggested invoking Cold War-era tactics to screen immigrants seeking citizenship. “The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today,” he said. “I call it extreme vetting.”
He later stated, “Those who do not believe in our Constitution, or who support bigotry and hatred, will not be admitted for immigration into our country.”
