Atlanta, June 16 (RHC)-- Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has reiterated his call for surveillance of mosques in the U.S. in the wake of Orlando shootings.

Trump said at a rally in Atlanta that "we have to maybe check, respectfully, the mosques and we have to check other places because this is a problem that, if we don't solve it, it's going to eat our country alive."

The comments come after Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen of Afghan descent from Port St. Lucie, Florida, stormed the Pulse Club in Orlando on Sunday, killing 49 people and injuring 53 others at the gay club, marking the worst ever mass shooting in US history.  According to police, the shooter pledged allegiance to Daesh during the shooting spree.

Trump used the incidence to push his agenda.  He also earlier proposed that the U.S. suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is "a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats."

The New York real estate billionaire said while the Florida gunman was born in the United States of America, in his words -- "his parents weren't and his ideas weren't born."  Donald Trump has urged a “total and complete” ban on Muslims entering the United States after a deadly mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, last year, which was inspired by the Daesh terrorist group.

Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, said on Wednesday that Trump's rhetoric had grown "even more inflammatory" in recent days.
