Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has said that he will introduce legislation to ban all Muslim Syrians from the United States in response to the ISIS terror attacks in Paris.
‘What Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing is that we bring to this country tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees,’ Cruz told CNN last night at a campaign stop in Charleston, South Carolina.
‘I have to say particularly in light of what happened in Paris, that’s nothing short of lunacy,’ he said.
Governors in 24 U.S. states meanwhile toYesterday Ben Carson called on Congress today to end funding for federal programs that resettle Syrian refugees in the United States, ‘effectively immediately.’
Lindsey Graham, a U.S. Senator from South Carolina and one of the 15 Republicans running for higher office, called for a ‘timeout’ on the Syrian refugee program ‘until we have a system that we think will work.’
Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that the mostly male refugees could be a ‘Trojan horse’ for ISIS – last night proposed a ‘big beautiful safe zone’ inside of Syria for the country’s residents.
At a press conference yesterday in Turkey, where he was meeting with other world leaders at the G20 summit, President Barack Obama said as far as he’s concerned, the refugees fleeing ISIS are welcome in America.
