## Transcript

The immigration laws of the United States give The President powers to suspend entry into the country of any class or [ UNKNOWN ]. Now, any class it really is determined and to be determined by The President for the interest of the United States. When I'm elected, I would suspend immigration from areas of the world, Where there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats. It's a strike at the heart and soul of who we are as a nation. It's an assault on the ability of free people to live their lives. Love who they want and express their identity.

It's an attack on the right of every single American to live in peace and safety, in their own country.
