Here is more information about this proposal. [ROTATE STATEMENTS]

Donald Trump called for the temporary ban, saying Until we are able to determine and understand this
problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by
people that believe only in Jihad.

Leaders from across the political spectrum have condemned this policy, saying that banning members of
an entire religion from entering the country goes against everything we believe in as Americans. And it
will make our country less safe by alienating the allies we need to fight ISIS.

Now that youve heard more, do you favor or oppose the proposal to
temporarily ban all Muslims who are citizens of foreign countries from
entering the United States?
