Madeleine Albright Tweets She Is ‘Ready To Register As Muslim’

The former secretary of state will stand in solidarity if Trump starts registering people.

Madeleine Albright snapped back at the news of President Donald Trump’s plan to shut some people out of America with a call for human solidarity.

The former secretary of state tweeted Wednesday that she is “ready to register as Muslim” herself, even as Trump prepares to single out travelers from Muslim-majority countries.

Albright, an immigrant who was born in Czechoslovakia in 1937 but left at the age of 2 after the Nazi occupation, also tweeted a picture of the Statue of Liberty with the famous words:

“Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. / Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, / I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Madeleine Albright ✔ @madeleine
There is no fine print on the Statue of Liberty. America must remain open to people of all faiths & backgrounds. #RefugeesWelcome

”America must remain open to people of all faiths & backgrounds,” she wrote below the image.

Albright’s tweets came in response to news of a draft executive order that would ban refugee admissions for up to four months. It would also temporarily halt visas for people from the Muslim-majority countries of Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. By issuing this order, Trump would make good on his campaign promise to ban immigration from countries “compromised by terrorism.”

Albright acknowledged on a Thursday press call, organized by refugee groups, that a registry of Muslims in the U.S. was not part of the proposed executive order. But, she said, “by targeting Muslim-majority countries, there is no question that this order is biased against Muslims, and when one faith is targeted, it puts us all at risk.”

In November 2015, Trump was asked by a reporter if he thought there should be a database that tracks Muslims in this country. Trump’s answer was indirect and focused mainly on building a wall along the Mexican border. When pressed again by the reporter, he said, “I would certainly implement that, absolutely.”

Trump later tweeted that he did not suggest a database, yet his post still raised eyebrows:

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
I didn't suggest a database-a reporter did. We must defeat Islamic terrorism & have surveillance, including a watch list, to protect America
5:21 AM - 21 Nov 2015

Shortly after Trump was elected, it was reported that his team was considering the possibility of reviving a registry of immigrants and visitors from “higher risk” countries. And Rex Tillerson, Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, sidestepped the question of whether he would support a Muslim registry during his confirmation hearing:

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Isn't it funny how the BO hates to be picked up on her own trolling.. and throws some personal abuse in for good measure. Well done

Not a one of them.

I believe I understood her.
'That the US should open their arms to everyone.'

In a world before extremist islamic terrorism that would be not unreasonable.
Even then, surely the US would bar immigrants who carry communicable diseases?

The US has the first responsibility toward their own people.
As does every country.

When a people such as muslims have a faith and a track record that is opposed to the US culture, that people should be strongly regulated.
