I don't want to bar anyone, except the Taliban of any order. We are a nation of laws, not a theocracy.

Well, as a believer you know that there can be no theocracy in this age. A true theocracy can only occur when the Jesus, the Creator of the universe, rules on earth. Right now, we should be more concerned about the life-stealing one (I John 5:19). That's the real enemy.

[Antoninus]

We are a nation of laws, not a theocracy.

What good are laws that are devoid of any moral authority and indeed run counter to natural law (e.g., a law that provides for the starving to death of an innocent disabled woman)?

As a Catholic, you are obliged to ignore such laws and actively work for their repeal.
