Trump: I Would "Absolutely" Use Database to Track Muslims
Elliot Smilowitz reports at The Hill:
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he would "absolutely" use a database to track Muslims in the U.S. "I would certainly implement that," Trump said Thursday, according to MSNBC.
Asked whether Muslims would be legally required to sign up for such a database, the businessman said, "They have to be -- they have to be."
"[The database] would stop people from coming in illegally. We have to stop people from coming into our country illegally," he added.
"Trump had said earlier Wednesday that he believes that the war on terror will require unprecedented surveillance of America's Muslims. 'Certain things will be done that we never thought would happen in this country in terms of information and learning about the enemy,' he said in a Yahoo interview," The Hill reports.
"We’re going to have to do things that were frankly unthinkable a year ago," Trump said, according to The Hill.
