Donald Trump on the Brussels terrorist attacks: 'I would close up our borders'
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump wasted no time in reiterating one of his few clear policy positions in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attacks in Brussels. "I would close up our borders to people until we figure out what is going on," he told Fox News early Tuesday morning.
"We can't have these attacks anymore," he added. "We have to be very, very careful who comes into our country."
Donald Trump similarly called for banning all Muslims from entering the United States after the December terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California. Critics have blasted the idea as unfeasible, immoral, and a probable recruiting tool for terrorists. Nico Lauricella
