The presumptive GOP presidential nominee also called on Muslims in the U.S. to work with law enforcement on finding potential attackers.
He made the proposal Monday in Manchester, New Hampshire, a day after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history in Orlando.
The presumptive Republican nominee called for an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system and said that “we have to control our borders now — not later, now.”
Donald Trump also attacked Hilary Clinton by name in his speech in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting.

During a national security speech in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump repeatedly criticized Clinton’s immigration plan, her attempts to tighten the nation’s gun control laws and for not using the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” when describing recent attackers.
He also said national intelligence officers are “not being allowed to do their jobs” due to restrictions imposed upon them by President Barack Obama’s administration.
