Should we prevent people like him from entering the country?
If a Frenchman or a German goes on a rampage in the United States, will we start preventing people from France or Germany from entering the US?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Maybe you're right that I missed the entire point of his remarks. He pulled out a constitution and claimed that Trump never read it. I took his implication to be that it would be unconstitutional to discriminate against foreigners because there's a constitutional right to open, free, and unregulated immigration here. I thought that was the climax of the address. Maybe you can explain better why he pulled out the constitution and claimed that Trump never read it?
