Rep. Justin Amash Hammers Trump's 'Unlawful' Immigration Ban (Freedom Caucus)
mlive.com ^ | January 29, 2017

Posted on 03/30/2017 8:31:36 PM PDT by Helicondelta

"Unlawful" and "extreme" is how West Michigan Rep. Justin Amash described President Donald Trump's executive order to ban refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries.

"It's not lawful to ban immigrants on the basis of nationality," Amash said in the statement.

Trump's order blocks citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya from entering the country for at least 90 days. It also bans refugees from anywhere in the world for 120 days -- and from Syria indefinitely.

"Ultimately, the executive order appears to be more about politics than safety," Amash said. "If the concern is radicalism and terrorism, then what about Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and others?"

Unlike many Republicans who endorsed Trump when he secured the GOP nomination, Amash never formally gave the candidate his support. He said he would neither vote for Trump nor Hillary Clinton, and would remain critical of Trump's decisions in office.

>> so my money goes to help [others]

Precisely — a war on Individualism.

The individual/self-employed sector is by far the most abused by the ACA scam.

A far-less equivalent ACA plan cost more than $22k 2017. The far better plan before the ACA cost me (family) less than $15/year.

“Zip it, newby. I’ve been here since you were in elementary school.”

That’s hilarious. Oh sheesh. That’s funny.

Please tell me to do something again. I’m enjoying the laugh break.

I could really care less about your story. Right now it’s the law of the land and you can mock and ridicule me all you want, but as a consumer, I’ll go for the best deal right now. When the law changes I’ll find the best deal within that structure. Thanks for the econ lesson though.

“I will not mindlessly cheerlead our way to socialism.
Or amnesty.”

Thank you for your honesty in continuing to hammer away and make your view of the Trump administration crystal clear to all.

Are you happy that 10,000 more illegal aliens have been given work permits under the illegal DACA program since Trump took office?
Do you want to preserve 80% of Obamacare?

There are two options.
1. Stop Trump
2. Impeach

I suggest you contact Nancy and/or Chuck for assistance. You will have happy allies.

Does it have a legal obligation to provide it?

One last point, “non-newby”, just for fun.

If you were here when I was in elementary school I suspect you need your meds upgraded. Free Republic didn’t exist in the 1960’s LMAO!!!

No go have yourself a nice day lol.

Health insurance? No.

Emergency medical care? I think there were already statutes prior to Obamacare that said that hospitals could not turn away patients for inability to pay.

I thought you a bit rude considering I was polite and I lived in Manhattan 8 years back when you were a boy so that’s no excuse ...the New York or Joisey excuse for coarseness which maybe you’ll reach for

So I went back and pulled up your history

Wow...this is your schtick....being on a short lease

I did notice you called Dick Cheney a chickenshit...it sure ain’t Audie Murphy either admittedly but it’s not chickenshit..

He was 26 at the height of Vietnam and his only true year of deferment with a newborn on the way

I’m not sure that’s chickenshit

Cheney did on the other hand survive 40 plus years with a debilitating diseased heart and yet persevered when others may have lain down and whimpered through life

And provided a very nice life for his wife and kids and worked his butt off totally self made including a lot of govt service and a stint getting Halliburton numbers up sharply which he did

That is not the work of a sissy

George McGovern was a genuine war hero and deserves full credit for that as redemption

Which would you rather face as commander in facing tank divisions on the cold steppes?

Your war hero George McGovern or the my “chickenshit” Cheney

You can disagree with Cheney on politics which I do to some degree but I’d not question his guts

Seriously my friend, you need to get a life. I’m glad you have unlimited time to read through my posts, but that’s just sad. Have a great weekend. Enjoy your free time.

You're right, the twee genXer was rude, your post was excellent, but he is a "gemmedatter".

He best NOT "go there"...re "NEW YORKERS ARE RUDE" ( which they aren't...it's the damned outsiders/transplants who give them a bad name ) and besides which he's from Joisey. ;^)

OTOH...you changed the topic/hijacked the thread and worse still, you delved into his past posts; that last bit is a HUGE no-no!

Let us all, please, stay on the thread's topic.

Your representatives, on your behalf, certainly did. There is no trust fund. Just an IOU (aka debt)

On my behalf? HA HA HA. Not a very funny joke really.

You make my point about socialized medicine and don’t even know it.
