9th Circuit Blocks Trump Effort To Deny Asylum For Illegal Aliens(WUT!)

The current backlog of Asylum cases in our Immigration Courts is over 200,000, about a 1,800% increase since 2008. Total backlog of all removal cases is nearly 800,000. In 1980, nearly 40 years ago, Congress passed a law regulating how to handle refugees who enter the USA while fleeing persecution in their home country. It says the US will accept applications for asylum from any alien physically present in the USA...OR...who arrives in the US “whether or not at a designated port of arrival”.
However, the President has certain authority to control the entry of aliens to this country;
And the Congress has authority to pass laws regarding immigration and naturalization;
And the Courts have authority to examine, apparently, whether either has exceeded their authority above that which is granted by the Constitution.
And there’s our quandary, folks. The Congress will not do anything to address the problem of overwhelming immigration cases. President Trump is TRYING to do something about the problem but consistently meets the Courts claiming he is exceeding his Constitutional authority.
The 9th Circus lost when they tried to stop his ‘Travel Ban’. It’s anybody’s guess as to whether or not he’ll lose this one. Since the Democrats won the House, nothing will be done by Congress, we can be fairly sure, over the next 2 years. Meanwhile, one person’s “immigration” and “fleeing persecution” has become another person’s “invasion”...which may require a military response under the Commander-In-Chief (though the 9th Circus would probably hold that the President, in trying to defend the laws and Constitution, has exceeded his authority by trying to stop the invasion).

Well,I too am not happy with those claiming to be Republicans who are acting more like Democrats. We know some of them are RINOS & those should be as immediately as possible expunged from the party unless they change their ways. At this time,it looks like it might be pretty hard to form an effective third party,though I did like the views of the Constitution Party when Howard Phillips was running. At this time they can’t get enough votes to be really effective. I think Donald Trump might have run on their platform,but it would have been hard to get elected because of the numbers. Just my thoughts here, but something needs to be done to combat the liberals more effectively.

What does the law SAY?

"Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title."

U.S. Code › Title 8 › Chapter 12 › Subchapter II › Part I › § 1158

“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.”

8 U.S.C. §1182(f) of United States Code
From: The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.

I defy you to read my posts. Talk about two faced, you take the blue ribbon. Never an opportunity goes by without your condemnation of the president as if you are the genius of this era.Back off, punk!
