BRUSSELS ATTACKED BY ISIL, TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT SYRIAN REFUGEES
IT'S TIME TO STOP BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT AND PROTECT OUR BORDERS.
TRUMP DOESN'T HATE MUSLIMS. HE JUST WANTS TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE.

Several months ago 2016 GOP Presidential front runner Donald J Trump predicted that if the United States and our Allies did not secure their borders, more ISIL-related terrorists attacks would occur.
Tuesday, March 22, 2016 Brussels, Belgium a country in Western Europe, suffered a brutal terrorist attack from ISIL.
In 2015 it was Paris. In 2016 it's Brussels.
Will the United States be next?
In 2015 Trump was also mocked and scoffed at by the mainstream media for saying the American government should not let in those so-called Syrian Refugees without assuring they were true Refugees.
The media accused Trump of being a Racist and of spreading Islamaphobia.
Turns out many of those so-called Syrian Refugees are actually ISIL Operatives with FAKE documents from IRAQ and PAKISTAN.
I say it's time for the American gov't to stop being Politically correct and focus on protecting American citizens by securing our borders.
I repeat.
Tuesday, March 22, 2016 Brussels, Belgium a country in Western Europe, suffered a brutal terrorist attack from ISIL.
In 2015 it was Paris. In 2016 it's Brussels.

Trump was right about the United States and our Allies securing our borders.
As the bad news out of Brussels continues to unfold today, we are reminded of some of the coverage that the city has received in the past. As I listened to the expert analysis of precisely what went so wrong there, the name of on particular segment of the city kept coming up repeatedly. The neighborhood of Molenbeek has long been known as a breeding ground for terrorists and a virtual “no go” sector for the cops, no matter what other European leaders say. CNN terrorism analysts this morning were bemoaning the fact that previous efforts to locate suspects in the neighborhood were met with a “wall of silence” if not overt hostility. In fact, you couldn’t find one “expert” on the air today who wasn’t talking about this problem as if it were just a sad but known fact of life.
Of course, much of the media was singing a different tune only two months ago when The Donald had the audacity to point out some of the problems in Brussels, saying Trump had found “a new city to insult.”
Now Donald J. Trump has upset the already beleaguered people of Belgium, calling its capital, Brussels, “a hellhole.”
Asked by the Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo about the feasibility of his proposal to bar foreign Muslims from entering the United States, Mr. Trump argued that Belgium and France had been blighted by the failure of Muslims in these countries to integrate.
“There is something going on, Maria,” he said. “Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Shariah law, where they want this, where they want things that — you know, there has to be some assimilation. There is no assimilation. There is something bad going on.”…
For Belgians, already reeling from recent terrorist plots and a chronically dysfunctional government, Mr. Trump’s words were enough to induce a fit of pique worthy, in some cases, of Mr. Trump himself.
Adding even more irony to the story, Trump had referenced the work of Eric Zemmour regarding the situation in Brussels. The French writer had been sending up warnings about Molenbeek for some time and they seem eerily prescient in light of today’s events.
Éric Zemmour, a French writer, recently suggested in an interview that rather than bombing the Islamic State’s self-declared capital of Raqqa, Syria, France should bomb Molenbeek, the working-class district in Brussels where several of the Paris attackers lived.
Most Belgian officials reacted with quiet defiance. “We don’t react to Mr. Trump’s comments,” the office of Mayor Yvan Mayeur of Brussels said in an email. “Have a nice day.”
I’m sure using the phrase “hell hole” was a bit on the heavy handed side, but looking around the smoking ruins of the Brussels metro today and the neighborhood where the police are looking for suspects, it certainly seems appropriate. I don’t imagine that the Times will be offering any apologies to Trump today, and perhaps none are in order. But if there was any doubt about the fact that there’s something bad going on in Brussels these days, it’s been dispelled in an abrupt, tragic fashion.
The Mayor of Brussels may not react to Mr. Trump’s comments, but his city had best figure out a way to react to what’s going on in Molenbeek, and quickly.
Donald Trump reacted to the explosions that rocked Brussels Tuesday morning, describing the scene as a "disaster" and warning that "this is just the beginning."
The Republican front-runner, who has made immigration and security issues central to his 2016 presidential bid, discussed the reported suicide attacks in an interview on Fox News' "Fox and Friends."
"I will tell you, I've been talking about this a long time, and look at Brussels," Trump said. "Brussels was a beautiful city, a beautiful place with zero crime. And now it's a disaster city. It's a total disaster, and we have to be very careful in the United States, we have to be very careful and very vigilant as to who we allow in this country. "
In an another interview, Trump also said he would be "fine" with waterboarding Salah Abdeslam, one of the leaders of the Paris attacks several months ago who was just captured in Brussels, in order to get more information on potential future attacks.
"Well I'm not looking to break any news on your show, but frankly the waterboarding, if it was up to me, and if we changed the laws or have the laws, waterboarding would be fine," the Republican front-runner said on NBC's "Today" show. "I would say they should be able to do whatever they have to do."
"You know, we work within laws. They don't work within laws -- they have no laws. We work within laws. The waterboarding would be fine, and if they could expand the laws, I would do a lot more than waterboarding," he said.
Trump has vacillated in his campaign about whether or not he would pursue using waterboarding -- which is considered torture and thus illegal. After getting criticized by former national security officials, Trump said he would instead seek to expand the laws, presumably to make such tactics legal.
On Fox, he described Brussels now as an "armed camp."
"If you went into Brussels 20 years ago, it was like a magical city. Now you look at it, it's an armed camp," Trump said. "You want to lead your life, you don't want to be living in an armed camp for your whole life. And there is a certain group of people that is making living a normal life impossible."
Trump was quick to link the attacks to Muslim refugees and migrants from the Middle East who have flooded into Europe as a result of Syria's civil war and turmoil in the region.
"It's going to get worse and worse. In my opinion, this is just the beginning. It will get worse and worse because we are lax and we are foolish -- we can't allow these people, at this point we cannot allow these people to come into our country. I'm sorry," he said. "This is a story that just seems to be more and more happening and it's really not very pretty to watch."
Europeans, Trump warned, need to change their tactics.
"Those countries better get smart fast, because they're just disintegrating," he said.
Trump also took the opportunity to criticize "liberal policies" that he blamed for the tension and fear surrounding the refugee crisis.
"We're not the victims here -- we're acting like this is our fault," he said. "That's the problem with the liberal policies of this country and this world, it's acting like it's our fault. It's not our fault, okay, it's not our fault. It's their fault. And they have to come out and they have to say, hey look, this is happening."
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton told NBC's "Today" show the U.S. has to be "absolutely smart and strong and steady in how we respond."
"We've got to stand in solidarity with our European allies," she said.
But the former secretary of state cautioned against blanket bans on immigrants based on the attacks.
"It's unrealistic to say we're going to completely shut down our borders to everyone," she said. "I know that Americans have every reason to be frightened by what they see, (but) we've got to work this through, consistent with our values."
Clinton said in a statement that "the people of Brussels, of Europe and of the world will not be intimidated by these vicious killers."
"Today's attacks will only strengthen our resolve to stand together as allies and defeat terrorism and radical jihadism around the world," she said.
She later tweeted, "My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and wounded, and all the people of Belgium" and "These terrorists seek to undermine the democratic values that are the foundation of our way of life. They will never succeed. -H"
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called the attack "another cowardly attempt to terrorize innocent civilians."
"Today's attack is a brutal reminder that the international community must come together to destroy ISIS. This type of barbarism cannot be allowed to continue," he said in a statement.
He also tweeted, "We offer our deepest condolences to the people of Brussels and stand with our European allies to offer any necessary assistance."
"The wave of terror that has been unleashed in Europe and elsewhere around the world are attacks against our very way of life and against the democratic values upon which our political systems have been built," he said in a statement. "We and our allies must rededicate ourselves to these values of freedom and human rights. We must utterly reject the use of deadly acts of terror."
Later, Kasich called on President Barack Obama, currently on a foreign trip to Cuba, to return to the U.S.
"The president must return home immediately and get to work with our allies to respond with strength against the enemies of the west," he tweeted.
Though the attackers have yet to be identified, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called the blasts "just the latest in a string of coordinated attacks by radical Islamic terrorists perpetrated those who are waging war against all who do not accept their extreme strain of Islam," in a Facebook post.
"Radical Islam is at war with us," he said, and accused Obama of refusing to "acknowledge this reality."
