Donald Trump has vowed to ban refugees from Gaza if he is re-elected and will have ‘ideological screening’ for all immigrants.
During Trump’s Iowa rally on Monday (October 16), where he delivered his speech with his usual bluster, Trump promised to re-institute his controversial “Muslim ban” if he’s elected president in 2024.
He also wants to revoke the student visas of the “radical anti-American and anti-Semitic foreigners at our colleges and universities.”
“The USA is a mess, Israel is under attack, our economy is cratering,” he said.
“Inflation is out of control. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have formed together as a menacing and destructive coalition. Our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest defeat in 200 years. It won’t happen with me, not even a chance.”

Trump has promised to also re-enact his “travel bans” if he defeats Joe Biden in 2024, and even promised to expand them to include Palestinian refugees from the Gaza.
“I banned refugees from Syria, I banned refugees from Somalia, very dangerous place, and from all the most dangerous places in the world—and in my second term, we are going to expand each and every one of those bans,” he said.
“We aren’t bringing in anyone from Gaza or Syria or Somalia or Yemen, or Libya, or anywhere else that threatens our security.”
He continued: “No longer will we allow dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs to get residency in our country. If you empathize with Radical Islamic terrorists and extremists, you’re DISQUALIFIED—if you want to abolish the state of Israel, you’re DISQUALIFIED —if you support Hamas or the ideology behind Hamas, you’re DISQUALIFIED —and if you’re a Communist, Marxist, or Fascist, you are DISQUALIFIED.”
Trump also falsely claimed that refugees coming to the United States from Mexico and Central America were also “the people that attacked Israel.”
“Finally, we cannot forget that the same people that attacked Israel are right now pouring into our once-beautiful USA through our TOTALLY OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER, at record numbers—including prisoners, people from mental institutions, insane asylums, and terrorists. We will be paying the price for years to come if we do not get them out IMMEDIATELY,” he said.
“Upon my inauguration, I will terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history—including all the illegal aliens from countries that hate us.”
He continued: “And I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected Gang Members, drug dealers, Cartel Members, and security threats of any kind from the United States. This is more than a campaign—this is a MOVEMENT.”
