NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—There are growing fears among supporters of the Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump that his new focus on Muslims is distracting him from his campaign against Mexicans.

After the billionaire said he would consider shutting down mosques if he were President, supporters expressed concern that such signature proposals as a wall with Mexico and mass deportations were being lost in the shuffle.

Carol Foyler, who viewed a recent Trump appearance on television, said that she was "alarmed" to hear him talk about closing mosques "without mentioning the wall with Mexico even once." "I just worry, I guess, that with all of this talk about Muslims he's really forgetting about Mexicans," she said. "It feels kind of like a bait-and-switch."

Another Trump supporter, Harland Dorrinson, agreed. "Shutting down the mosques is a great idea, sure, but he shouldn't do that if it's going to divert resources from forcibly deporting eleven million immigrants," he said. "I would be very sad to see that happen."

But Tracy Klugian, a die-hard Trump volunteer who is working for his campaign in Iowa, called such criticism of her candidate "misguided." "You don't get to be a successful businessman like Donald Trump without being able to multitask," she said.
