You are right about that - there already is. It is is the intensive vetting process any potential immigrant receives today. Could it be better? Probably; we should take care of that.

Trump's loudmouth babble about banning all Muslims is just plain dumb. The only thing it does is score some points in the Muslim fearing isolationist crowd. From every other point of view it simply hands all advantage to the terrorists.

The man does not have a clever bone in his body. At first I thought it was all schtick and that deep down he was smart, now I am beginning to realize that this guy really IS useless at just about every level as Presidential material.

What intensive vetting?

We don't even do the vetting for refugees.

That is done by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

What excuse is there for giving Tashfeen Malik -- one of the San Bernardino killers -- a K-1 visa?

She didn't exactly make a secret of her terrorist sympathies.

Why is it dumb?

Why should any Muslims be allowed into this country?

Their religion is anti-democracy, anti-personal freedom, anti-human rights, anti-woman, anti-gay, anti
-religious freedom, anti-secular, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-atheist, and anti-agnostic.

Islam (which means "submission," not "peace") divides the world into two "houses": The house of Islam and the house of Jihad.

Muslims are called upon by their religion to convert, enslave or kill infidels -- or, at best, make them pay a tax and consign them to subservience.

Islam doesn't fit into this country, period.

How?

By making them hate us?

They already hate us.

Another terror attack in Turkey.

Has Trump taken another victory lap?

Not gloating this time. Perhaps he learned something from his self-aggrandizing minutes after the Orlando tragedy. "Will the world ever realize what's going on".....no **** Sherlock.. I think the world has known for awhile.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago
We must do everything possible to keep this horrible terrorism outside the United States.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago
Yet another terrorist attack, this time in Turkey. Will
the world ever realize what is going on?
So sad.

How can Trump be an "epic failure"? He is not in office, he has not implemented any policy. WTF are you talking about?

I'm just curious how Trump expects to stop lone wolf terror attacks if he were POTUS. Especially American born citizens committing the heinous crime. The Wall? the ban on Muslims? Even jacking up the FBI, CIA, State and Local Police budgets probably won't keep the lone wolf from doing harm. Trump talks like he has some special magical wand that he can use to keep Americans safe.
