In a vacuum, nothing wrong with his comments IMO.
However, in this day and age where people have proven to be lemmings, it stokes the fires of intolerance that were ignited by the Orange goblin. Trump has given rise to casual racism and intolerance in the mainstream, and there are a whole legion of Canadians who agree with him to the point that they will betray their own conservatism (and often times Christianity) to agree with him.
What Don said is dangerously close to intolerant, and therefore fires up the already frenzied anti-immigrant crowd. The problem is in his wording, not his message.
