Unlike those Hitler went after in Nazi Germany where he merely sought scapegoats, there are dozens of  specific proven and convicted in court, members of a particularly vile sect of Islam who have and are continuing to commit and encourage others to commit murder, mayhem, and similar crimes against innocent people here in the United States as well as around the world.   Failing to acknowledge that is an ostrich-like pose.  Trump's statements that illegal Mexicans have committed murders, rapes, robberies, heroin and methamphetamine offenses has also been proven beyond a reasonable doubt in both State and Federal Courts and resulted in sentences to prison for those found guilty.  That there are Muslims and Mexican illegal immigrants who are innocent of those crimes doesn't mean we have to ignore and give a free pass to those who are guilty of those crimes or that we shouldn't carefully examine to figure out who belongs in each category just to protect ourselves.
