Second 2016 Presidential Debate: on Immigration


Donald Trump: Border agents endorsed me because I understand the border

We have many criminal illegal aliens. When we want to send them back to their country, their country says we don't want them. In some cases, they're murderers and drug lords. And they don't want them. Clinton as secretary of state said "That's OK, we can't force it into their country." I'm going to force them right back into their country. They're murderers and some very bad people. The Border Patrol agents, 16,500, just recently endorsed me, and they endorsed me because I understand the border.

Gary Johnson: A ban based on religion violates our Constitution

Q: Do you plan to ban Muslims from US?

Donald Trump: It's called extreme vetting. They're coming in by the tens of thousands and Hillary Clinton wants to allow a 550% increase over Obama.
