Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has cited the Orlando attack to call for banning all immigrants from any country with a history of terrorism against the U.S. or its allies. Trump said the shooter was “born an Afghan, of Afghan parents,” even though Mateen was born in New York and is a U.S. citizen.

Donald Trump: “When I’m elected, I will 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. … We cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country, many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer.”
