Speaking at a campaign rally in Portland, Maine, the Republican Party nominee said the United States needed to stop admitting refugees from Somalia. He said that the U.S. was opening its doors to people from unstable countries and that the practice could be "the great Trojan horse of all time."

Trump cast doubt on the vetting processes for asylum-seekers and asserted that terrorists infiltrate the refugee system.

"They're all talking about it. Maine. Somali refugees. We admit hundreds of thousands in Maine and into other places in the United States," he said. "Hundreds of thousands of refugees and they're coming from among the most dangerous territories and countries of anywhere in the world. A practice which has to be, it has to stop. It has to stop."
