Would a long wall to exclude Latin Americans to the south and a ban on Muslims entering the country go any way to achieve this ambition?

mikey4444/// Clanad....how will Trump stop Muslims from entering the country ?///

You keep asking that. Do you think it's illegal? It isn't.
Obama's already stopped a few. They know who Muslims are/where they come from and they can refuse anyone they like.
Considering that there are already many millions of Mexicans in the US, any attempt to keep them out is not likely to be successful.

Anyway....who is going to pick all that fruit and veg in California, if Mexicans aren't there to do it ?
You may laugh about stopping illegal Mexican immigration. The people who suffer most from it are the recent Mexican legal immigrants. (that's why they support Trump)
Once again, mikey fails to understand that an unlimited supply of cheap labour hurts the poorest people in society. (and helps some of the richest)
This means muslim visitors to USA will be checked before admittance. Whats wrong with that, considering 9/11 disaster?

11.53 youtube muslims will be banned from entering USA 'till we know what there about'.

Tambo...yet another broadcast from this Ogre.
trump doesnt want to make amurica great again
more than the task in hand which is ... to get elected

as for closing the borders to make a country great
hasnt that been tried
Cuba , Romania. Albania. etc

but still that is the AB way
try a shot idea again that has never worked...
to see if it works this time .....
Stuey...with the latest advance by Trump in eliminating all 17 people that were originally running in the Republican primaries I think that a lot of people are underestimating his strengths. A lot talk about his appearance or mannerisms, but if one listens to him when he isn't ranting about the "liars" who were running against him (they were, granted, that in many instances) he makes a lot of sense.

Look, no one builds the fortune he has over the years without the innate ability to negotiate and more importantly to place ones self in a position to negotiate from strength. He's certainly had his share of what appeared to be failures by the way of bankruptcies, but always came back even stronger.

He has spent only about $800 thousand dollars of his own money during this campaign thus far... whereas the latest count for Hillary is near $90 million and counting. He did that primarily by being smart enough the be the center of attention with the media. It's estimated that he's received nearly $200 million in free air time and articles written, including interviews with just about anyone with a microphone or notepad in their hand.

He has, as well, definitely tapped into a huge reservoir of rabid unrest centered on the "ruling elite" in Washington whose sole objective is to keep getting re-elected and feather their own and other selected elites nests. This exists within both parties, hence the large numbers of Democrats and others who have voted for him. Some say his election over Hillary is almost certain, especially with the news leaking out about her private e-mail server during her 4 years as Secretary of State. Both of the Clinton's have demonstrated their propensity for lying and building their own gold lined nests for decades.

Mikey's question about how to stop Muslim immigrants is answered by just treating them the same way all other potential immigrants are treated... in a word, documentation. But first the illegal immigration on our lengthy southern border with Mexico has to remedied. Personally, I believe Trump will do what he says about securing the border and shutting down Muslim immigration, " ...but only until ICE (our immigration service) gets a handle on the situation..." (in Trump's own words).
I remember the Liberals sneering a Ronald Reagan when he ran as Republican candidate. In Britain too the chattering classes joined in the criticism of his abilities and suitability. Well he won the nomination and two Presidential campaigns besides being one of the better post war Presidents. Trump seems to be ploughing a similar furrow.
Could Mikey be getting nervous as he realises that Trump might just win?
I remember the same classes sneering at Thatcher when she ousted Heath.

"Well, that's guaranteed a Labour government for the foreseeable future".

Er, No.
What chance, i wonder, of Trump being ringside for this weekend's WBC Middleweight Title fight between Mexican Canelo Alvarez and Bolton's Amir Khan, a Muslim?
Clanad....If I am correct, the religious persuasion of visitors to the USA is not asked for, or required on entry, or on pre-entry Visa applications.

Bearing in mind the millions of non-US visitors that your country has every year, how would this new procedure work ?

I would imagine that the lawyers would have a field day in dealing with objections to free speech, a freedom that the USA is so fond of.

But there are already millions of Muslims living perfectly legally in the States,....most with America citizenship, so I'm not sure if the Muslim terrorist cause needs any new people.
Few will doubt that Trump has gained business skills during his career. Keep at it and success sometimes comes eventually making the failures seem history. But not everyone is convinced that, that will translate to an ability to run the office of President well. His ability to achieve a lot of support with little outlay would be commendable except that it revolves around him being objectionable and thus newsworthy for the most part. Still, time will tell if that's what it takes to represent one's country at the highest level, and if it is, what the consequences are.
Presumably, the cash injection at the start of a million or so dollars didn't hurt Trump's chances either -- and has he really been all that successful? One argument I've seen was that, allowing for inflation, Trump could have done literally nothing other than invest in one or two stock investments and be twice as well-off as he is having done no work or hard negotiating skills at all -- never mind the bankruptcies that ought to at least be investigated more thoroughly by those who think Trump is a sound businessman. Not to mention Trump Mortgage LLC, founded in 2006, when it was "a great time to to start a mortgage company ... the real estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come." Well, that prediction exploded in everyone's face spectacularly (and the company folded, of course)

The claim that Trump has spent only $800,00 of his own money deserves some scrutiny, too. Official figures show that the Trump campaign is largely self-financed by loans from himself to the tune of $36 million or so. I suppose the nature of loans makes that "only 800k" claim technically correct, but massively misleading, no? External funding for his campaign amounts to very little, it is true (Jeb Bush had something like $100 million in SuperPAC campaign support compared to Trump's $3 million). But that's the point. The costs of the Trump campaign have been funded to a great extent by Trump himself, and his total costs have vastly exceeded just $800,000. Somehow or other, he proposes to pay the rest back to himself...

Turning to the Muslim immigration issue, how is that constitutional? I'll be cautious not to call it definitely *not* -- apparently there are differences of opinion on the issue so it would presumably have to be tested in court, but even people who claim it may be constitutional still condemn the idea: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/legal-scholar-trump-s-muslim-ban-may-be-constitutional-n484981 . And they'd be right to do so. Most modern terrorists are Muslims, but almost all Muslims are not terrorists. It is simply ridiculous to assert that being Muslim is enough justification to bar someone from any country, not to say offensive and degrading to those already in the US.

As to the rest, I agree that Trump has done a superb job of tapping into the disillusionment many people have with the establishment. I think Cruz's demise this week proved that beyond any doubt, as Cruz was as anti-establishment as they come and still got trounced (thank goodness). How far does that disillusionment really go? I don't see it going far enough to win him the presidency, although he's spent the last nine months surprising everybody. He's surely too polarising to appeal to the moderate voter. Even many Republicans still won't back the heir presumptive. Whether they will turn to Hillary "I'm not inspiring at all but at least I'm not Trump" Clinton is less certain; perhaps 2016 will simply see a huge drop in turnout. I don't see how anyone can say that Trump beating Clinton is a certainty while keeping a straight face, although it's possible. But Trump has lost as many people as he gained, and how can he win them back?

Well said Jim....common sense.
There is as much chance of Trump getting into the White House as there is of Leicester winning the 2016 Premier League. Sorry, hold on a minute!
America can stop anyone it wants from entering the country. Without explanation.
