Trump on Syrian Refugees: ‘We Don’t Want Them Here’

‘They’re moving people into Ohio that you people don’t even know about’

"Look at the problems we have right now. We are a very unsafe nation. We are allowing people to pour into our country. We’re allowing people to pour into our country. We have no idea who they are. These are people coming from the Middle East, we’re taking Syrian refugees. By the way, I have a bigger heart than anybody. And we’ll work with them, and I’ll get other people to put up the money because we’re $19 trillion, and now with the kind of budgets that get passed in this country, we’re going up to $21 trillion. We don’t have the money, but I’ll get the gulf states to put up the money and we’ll supervise it, and we will build wonderful, as wonderful as it can be, in Syria, safe havens. We’ll build safe zones. We’ll keep them there. We don’t want them here. We don’t want them here. They’re moving people into Ohio that you people don’t even know about. They’re moving people into Ohio that very well this could be one of the great Trojan horses of all time. They’re moving people into Ohio like nobody’s ever seen. And every state. And you don’t know, and your government officials don’t know. And nobody knows what the hell is happening to our country, and we have a president that won’t issue the words 'Radical Islamic terrorism' and it’s a real problem. It’s a real problem. And if you don’t say what the problem is, you’re never going to solve the problem."
