Dems pass bill to keep Trump from ordering travel bans during virus crisis
The Independent Sentinel ^ | 3-12-2020 | M.Dowling

The House and Senate Democrats are so concerned about the American public that they decided to pass a bill stripping the President of his legal authority to impose travel bans to protect American citizens.

CDC’s Dr. Anthony Fauci made it clear that the China travel ban greatly slowed the spread of coronavirus in this country. This evening the President stopped travel from Europe except the UK since Europe did not institute China travel bans and are in much worse shape than we are. Europeans coming into the United States and spreading the illness.

While the spreading of Wuhan Virus continues, Speaker Pelosi is playing politics and trying to keep the President from doing his job.

The president implemented travel bans on China and Iran, two heavily affected nations, and it is well within his responsibilities in this health emergency. Speaker Pelosi is out to stop him for political expediency, without regard for the safety and welfare of her countrymen. THE NO BAN ACT

The “No Ban Act,” introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) and co-sponsored by 219 House Democrats, would have prevented the President from immediately implementing a travel ban on China once the outbreak of the coronavirus spread past its origins of Wuhan.

President Trump needs to hold a press conference and tell the American public exactly what this bill says, and why he will veto it if the Senate passes it also and it lands on his desk.

This may be exactly what President Trump needs to turn the table on the Democrats and expose them for the adversaries to Americans public that they are.

That’s true, but President Trump can use this as a sledgehammer to attack the Democrats. Then the bill, just a bill, becomes a sledgehammer, and no longer just a bill. 8>)

Pelosi and Schumer’s Nazi RATS want to kill as many Americans as possible. Never let a good pandemic go to waste. The bottomfeeding bastards.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the voting majorities in the 27th US Congressional District of California (Alhambra, Altadena, Arcadia, Bradbury, Claremont, East Pasadena, Glendora, Monrovia, Monterey Park, Pasadena, Rosemead, San Antonio Heights, San Gabriel, San Marino, Sierra Madre, South Pasadena, South San Gabriel, Temple City, and Upland) for sending Judy to the House. I’m sure Red China is also pleased. /sarc

Because they have the media on their side.

Didn’t hear anything about Obama’s bad handling of H1N1

Look, I’m not going to criticize Obama anymore than Trump. It’s not the point, the point is, we got through that, and we’ll get through this.

We are just going to have to accept the fact, with our increasingly mobile world, that these things are going to happen no matter what, every ten years or so.

What senate bill passed?

How does a bill get to the Supreme Court before the president signs or vetos it?

Oh, and by the way:

Maybe her handlers....manipulated by them. Important that she is a Permanent member of House Intel,and privy to a certain level of NatSec information (and clearance for it). My opinion— manipulated at the least by her “donors” who are from.... where? Large population with a lot of sleepers in CA.

Surely demonrats would not fault me for sharing the same security concerns they exhibited in WWII by putting actual US citizens... Japanese Americans in detainment camps. Put there by F.D.R. his- self. The virus affects genetic Asians (chinese) more than others. Has been posited that this was intended for Taiwan- not saying that is true,but sure is interesting.

Democrats want open borders. They should run on it in the general election and argue with a straight face to Americans people infected with coronavirus should have an entitlement to come here.

Exactly. How could the Democrats even suggest they would have done a better job given their love of open borders and kissing China’s ass?

So they complain when he does something, then try to take authority out of his hands, then if they succeed and the crisis gets worse, they’ll blame him for not doing enough.

They sound like a bunch of nasty ex-wives to me.

Did you miss the point of the post? It is that this was considered and first brought up in April 2019. Then brought back on March 5th.

The point was the Chu woman, the chi-coms (they are literally everywhere in the US, surely you are aware of this, “navy” man— see: VA Beach DevGru security breach, chinese nationals), and the MANY idiotic dem sponsors— all in the Congressional Record FOR this bill (whether passed or not).

The President sought SCOTUS opinion on a ban and got it in 2018 in re: Yemen muslims, et al, incl. Venezuela and other countries.

Sloppy writing by the article author,i get it. The bill in the House was brought back up March 5, acc.to Record., with the names.

FReepers— run with these names, these idiots (including the wet brain Pelosi) deserve every bit of crap they have done being exposed. They pulled it too late for notice-— and have been caught. Limbaugh just put it in front of 20 million listeners-— that they would do this.

Containment, the numbers controlled coming in-—stop the flow in, cure/heal those who have it. Yet, the dems continue with fighting travel bans for this purpose. Can’t fix permanent stupids-— like Biden, and the confirmed Commie Sanders, and the legions of trough eating dems and rino who RESIDE in N. VA and MD making their living off of shite (and our tax money). We are through with them. All of them.

“So tell me why Dems would have done a better job than Trump on this?”

Dems would screw it up royally.
They always do.

Ok I read this bill and two summaries. I do not see where it just prevents a POTUS from just banning anyone. It looks like it was focused on the banning when religion is involved, or its stating religion as a reason couldn’t be used. Or am I missing something else?

I support the POTUS but can’t just take every action the Dems propose as something extreme.
