I hate to even further the discussion on this off-topic subject, but the above is simply not true. Here is the official statement (still published in it's original form) directly from Donald Trump's website:
> Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.
This is a far cry from "individuals coming from areas where terrorism is endemic". Regardless of your stance on politics, what that statement suggests is blanket discrimination based on religious belief.

- jrapdx3 10y agoWell, it appears to be policy in evolution. I based my comment on what Trump has said in his most recent appearances, and quite credibly that's not yet reflected in the online published material. Realistically campaigns of all stripes frequently change positions and policy is hardly set in stone. I expect we'll witness numerous "corrections" from all candidates as the election season moves along. BTW during the Republican and Democrat conventions just concluded, both candidates mentioned policies of this kind. It might be worth the effort to listen to both party's candidates' acceptance speeches since that would represent their current positions.
