Dear Senator
If the GOP wishes to control the Senate after the 2016 elections, they best kill this bit of grandstanding PR nonsense quickly. The GOP Leadership of the US Senate could not be more out of touch with the will of the voters on this issue if they were actively trying.
Here is current law. Do not mess with it.
8 U.S. Code ç 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
Passed. Dingy Hairy still runs the joint I guess
Didn’t we go to war in the Balkans where one side was (nominally) Christian and the other side (nominally) Muslim?
Didn’t Jimmy Carter ban Shia Muslims (Iranians, Persians) from entering the U.S.?
Doesn’t U.S. law currently ban the naturalization (if not the immigration) of persons who will not affirm their friendliness (in so many words) with the principles of liberty of the U.S., etc.?
Are the Quran and Hadith not inherently hostile to the principles of secular government, human liberty, democracy, etc.?
Pass one in the House that rejects anyone who supports Sharia law then go to conference ...
I believe it is already not legal to ban immigrants based on religion- We can however ban someone based on their nationality IF their nationality poses a possible risk to our nation
Here are their opinions:

Sharia by Jihad: 11% of U.S. Muslims (~330,000) believe that Sharia is "The Muslims god allah's Law that Muslims must follow and impose world-wide via Jihad" (1)

Islam needs to be recognized as a totalitarian political system which masquerades as a religion. One has to wonder what has to happen before the libtard secularists will recognize this clear reality.
