Trump’s Immigration EO is in line with US Code.
8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
While I agree with you, I believe the point the federal judge will attempt to make concerns the ‘changes to the USRAP’, ‘to prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual’s country of nationality.’
The White House should issue another EO that removes this portion. Then they could simply change Section 5(d) from ‘entry of more than 50,000 refugees in fiscal year 2017 would be detrimental to the interests of the United States’ to ‘entry of more than 50 refugees ....’
Then direct SECSTATE Tillerson to prioritize refugee claims.
That's good.
What isn't good is not asking the question, "Is it Constitutional?" when it comes to federal acts.
Too many think everything Trump does is OK because he's Trump and we like his goals. I like Trump but he is now a federal official and subject to the Constitution. If feel like many of us need to remember that our freedom is guaranteed not by Trump but by our Constitution.
So just direct the proper agencies to stop the process with a phone call. Don’t call it an executive order with a number on it. Just do the job. Perhaps call in the Leader of the House and Senate Majority leader and inform them of the action required and give them 24 hours to object. I don’t know what is right or proper but we can’t have all this turmoil and it has to stop.
I’m a huge Trump fan but I’m not happy how the libs are reacting....anarchy is what it is. How do you stop it?
