Donald Trump's Anti-Muslim Plans Would Send These Stars Packing – Or Have Them Lining Up to 'Register'

In a statement released on Monday, Donald Trump argued for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.

“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” he continued.

The comments come a number of weeks after the presidential candidate told NBC News he would “certainly implement” a system that required Muslims to be registered in a government database.

Such a ban would affect people at all levels of society, including many celebrities and prominent public figures. Not only would non-American Muslims be barred from entering the country – but Trump only belatedly added an exception for U.S. citizens who are Muslims and traveling internationally. As he told ABC News: “If a person is a Muslim, goes overseas and comes back, they can come back. They’re a citizen. That’s different. But we have to figure things out.”

And all Muslim Americans would be subjected to monitoring under the “database” Trump proposes.

Here are some of the stars who would be directly affected by anti-Muslim measures:
