The presumptive GOP nominee said in a phone interview with CBS' Face the Nation that countries like France and Israel are successfully employing profiling to stop terrorist attacks, and that as much as he "hates the concept," profiling "is something that we're going to have to start thinking about."
"Everybody wants to be so politically correct, and they want to do what is right, and they are afraid to do anything. Words are killing us. This political correctness. Unfortunately it wasn't followed up."
"You'd do as they used to do in New York, prior to this mayor dismantling. By the way, if you go to France, they are doing it in France right now, in some instances they are closing down mosques. People don't want to talk about it... but look at what they are doing in France. They're actually closing down mosques."
"Well I think profiling is something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country... Other countries do it, you look at Israel and you look at others, they do it and they do it successfully. And I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to start using common sense and we have to use our heads."
"It's not the worst thing to do," he added. "I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to use common sense."
