Exactly zero chance of that.
Not Constitutional or legal authority to do this.
The best we can hope for is they will be properly vetted before they are admitted into the country.

I believe the President DOES have the Constitutional authority to ban Muslims. Its been done before.

Foreigners do not enjoy the same protections as citizens.

Actually we make it based on nationality like Jimmy Carter did with the Iranians and that will pass muster. The law already exists to do it - Section 215(a) (1) of the Act of June 27, 1952 (8 USC 1185), to prescribe limitations and exceptions on the rules and regulations governing the entry of aliens into the United States.

8 US Code 1182

Carter used it after Iran took our embassy hostage.

“Not Constitutional or legal authority to do this.”

Yep, it is already in the law, passed in 1953 and utilized by even Jimmy Carter.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate immigration, that is, until Obama came alone.
