And a Florida Republican Senate candidate has suggested anyone from the Middle East should be banned from entering the United States. Questioned by a reporter about the comments, Carlos Beruff said he would allow in people from Israel. This is audio from the Sun Sentinel.
Reporter: “What countries would you apply that to?”
Carlos Beruff: “Pretty much anybody that’s got a terrorist organization in it, which is pretty much all the Middle East.”
Reporter: “Would you include Israel in that?”
Carlos Beruff: “I think Israel’s security measures are pretty strong. Anybody coming out of Israel—well, OK, but, you know, Israel is an exception. Their sophisticated security system allows people to be safe when they leave Israel. We don’t have to worry about it.”
