“They’re not coming to this country,” Trump reportedly said.

During the debate about national security, anti-Muslim immigration and building a wall along the Mexican border, Trump said that he could make the country safer.

“We are not talking about isolation, we’re talking about security,” he said.

“We’re not talking about religion, we’re talking about security. Our country is out of control,” he said, adding that tens of thousands of people are entering America with “cell phones with Isis flags on them.”

According to a study from 2010 the Muslim population in the United States as of 2016 is just one per cent of the population.
