A colleague of mine is a Trump supporter, and like many such people support's Trumps pledge to halt Muslim immigration "until the vetting process can be sorted out." Unlike most Trump supporters, he didn't dodge the question when I asked what would satisfy that requirement. He wants them to submit to a lie detector test as part of the interviewing process.
This struck me as too easy. Surely Trump's supporters were looking for more than such a simple fix. Plus, this particular Likely Trump Voter isn't what I would call a "typical" Trump supporter, ("I wish he'd be more politically correct.") so I figured I'd toss this idea out here on DP and see whether this is something that would resolve the concerns on the issue. If it really is that simple, this is far less of an issue than I thought.
So, would that be enough, or would you want more?
Plan to vote Trump - Support the idea and this would satisfy me on Muslim immigration
Plan to vote Trump - Suppport the idea but this would not satisfy me on Muslim immigration
Plan to vote Trump - Oppose the idea.
Not voting Trump - Support the idea, satisfies me on Muslim immigration.
Not voting Trump - Support the idea, does not satisfy me on Muslim immigration.
Note voting Trump - Oppose the idea.

If you pick "would not satisfy me," it would be great for you to describe exactly what would satisfy you so that this "temporary ban" could be lifted.
edit: If you support the lie detector tests but would apply them to all immigrants and not just Muslims, for the purposes of this poll pick "support the idea."
