In yesterday’s executive action (full script not yet released) President Trump suspended the visa travel program with Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days in order to assess the screening process for immigrants, and visitors.
Additionally, as reported by Reuters, President Trump put a four-month hold on the State Department refugee program, while the vetting process is reviewed and security practices put into place to enhance the screening process.
The reaction from the left-wing open-border globalists was entirely predictable. However, even though their response was predictable, it is still incredible to see the complete lack of cogent understanding within their arguments. This quote from CAIR is a case study in abject moonbattery:
(Reuters) […] The order seeks to prioritize refugees fleeing religious persecution, a move Trump separately said was aimed at helping Christians in Syria. That led some legal experts to question whether the order was constitutional.
One group said it would announce a court challenge on Monday. The Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] said the order targets Muslims because of their faith, contravening the U.S. Constitutional right to freedom of religion.
“President Trump has cloaked what is a discriminatory ban against nationals of Muslim countries under the banner of national security,” said Greg Chen of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. (more)
Seriously? This is not the first time we’ve heard and seen this absolutely insane argument in the media. The United States Constitution ONLY covers American citizens, and lawful resident aliens. FULL-STOP.
The U.S. Constitution is not a global document protecting the rights of Iranians, Iraqis, Libyans, Somalians, Sudanese, Syrians and Yemeni nationals. This legal narrative is complete nonsense, yet it shows how years of global liberalism have completely diminished even the most basic structural concepts of law, rights and privilege.
The fact that Reuters would even publish such a ridiculous proposition, reflects how far down this road of Brangelina Peacenik ‘we-are-the-world’ moonbattery we have traveled.
If the President of the United States wanted to effectively ban anyone who shows up at a port of entry wearing a yellow shirt, he/she is entirely within his/her legal and constitutional right to do so.
Cont. […]Trump’s order also suspends the Syrian refugee program until further notice, and will eventually give priority to minority religious groups fleeing persecution.
Trump said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network that the exception would help Syrian Christians fleeing the civil war there.
Legal experts were divided on whether this order would be constitutional.
“If they are thinking about an exception for Christians, in almost any other legal context discriminating in favor of one religion and against another religion could violate the constitution,” said Stephen Legomsky, a former chief counsel at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Obama administration.
WRONG. President Trump can establish any arbitrary standard for the allowed or preferred U.S. immigration process, he deems in the nation’s interest. President Obama did exactly the same thing with the reverse ideological intent.
In fact, President Trump could, by the constitutional power of his office, completely shut down the entire immigration and naturalization process, halting any further emigration to the U.S. permanently.
[…] Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law, said Trump’s action would likely be constitutional because the president and Congress are allowed considerable deference when it comes to asylum decisions.
“It’s a completely plausible prioritization, to the extent this group is actually being persecuted,” Spiro said. (read more)
No person outside of the United States has a “RIGHT” to come to, or live in the United States of America. Guest visitation (Visa approval) is a privilege, and emigration is entirely a structure of policy controlled by the executive branch of the U.S. through the Department of State.

Good post.
It is true that Trump could shut down immigration entirely for whatever period of time he choose to protect the nation. I hope he goes much further than these present baby steps, as the immigration situation is totally out of hand.
I also hope that the President will decide to do a massive deportation of illegals in this country. Apparently most of the invaders voted for the Democrats this last election cycle just as they always do. Regular Americans are being overwhelmed by an invasion — what good is a government if it will not stop an invasion? The army on our southern border would be a great step toward border control.
Why should any of my taxes go to support people who come here illegally? Why should they get welfare, education, and all the rest? I am barely making it here and no one seems to want to help me.

open borders is another form of welfare……buying votes. if we don’t stop it soon it will be too late and may in fact already be. as a nation we simply cannot sustain the takers making laws that govern the makers. it’s a slow death by a thousand cuts of course but eventually the system implodes. as long as we allow the national debt to rise, the frog continues it’s slow boil.
liberals purposefully don’t see that because they are corrupt. you must be corrupt to be a liberal otherwise your common sense would override your complacent, compliant, complicit treachery. that’s the main reason i don’t respect liberals, even if i am related to them. their personal agendas circumvent their common sense of decency.
al capone liked kids and puppies. pol pot wrote poetry. hitler liked to scratch his dog’s ears. treachery is never acceptable at any level and hiding behind the guise of friends/family ties as a means to go along to get along and not confront treachery is the lowest of low. but that’s just me.
lets say hillary got four million illegal votes. if they all became legal citizens tomorrow would they now vote for conservatives? the left has a huge following that is made up of many moving parts. trump was a hail mary touchdown pass from 70 yards to a lone receiver in the end zone with 6 defenders around him at the 4th quarter horn…just to tie the game for overtime.

Much the same way today’s refugee-helper-groups are robbing citizens using Christian names claiming to do a service for God, but lining their own pockets while endangering the people.

Carry it to include headscarves, burkas, any copy of the koran or hadiths and any muslim in general.

All Muslims are strictly held to Sharia, which is a written explicit law in radical and violent contradiction to all western law and to the US Constitution and laws of the USA in particular. It is not possible to in good faith be a Muslim and a citizen of the USA. Through its history (just take a look – even Arabia and Afghanistan was once Christian a region), Islam has always and everywhere betrayed, destroyed, and enslaved, and created devastation where there was once prosperity. “Soft ways”, and systematic use of taqiyya until strong enough, and then brutal supremacy.
I pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, who has a special care for the Americas to aid in rooting out these brigands. “Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army in arrayed for battle ?”

Trump’s executive order was already authorized by Congress.
People need to comprehend the difference between Trump’s lawful executive orders and Obama’s previous unlawful executive orders.
It is imperative that the chief Executive must give orders to execute the laws as that is chief job, and why his Branch is called “executive branch.”
Obama too often attempted to make laws without Congress and his EO’s were therefore antiConstitutional and therefore illegal.
Trump is executing laws that were already Legislated/written, and had yet to be executed nor were these legislated/ written laws enforceable until they were executed.
He is working lawfully. Obama did not.

My thinking is that he executed a law already Congressionally passed/written, and thus he used the wording of the already-written law.
His EO wasn’t made up out of his own desires, IMO, but rather is a legal execution of a extant law that had not previously been executed into effect.
So we should ask Legislators “why not these other countries.”
