The issue of refugees is part six of Donald Trump's 10-point immigration plan.

"For the price of resettling one refugee in the United States, 12 could be resettled in a safe zone in their home region, which I agree with 100 percent," said Trump Wednesday. "We have to build safe zones, and we'll get the money from Gulf states."
