To End The FReepathon

Donald Trump has again succeeded in setting the terms of political debate, this time by calling for a temporary halt to the admission of all Muslims from abroad, whether as immigrants or as visitors ("nonimmigrants" being the technical term). Everyone's outraged, of course, but this is a topic that needs to be addressed head-on.
First of all, it's important to underline that Congress can exclude or admit any foreigner it wants, for any reason or no reason. Non-Americans have no constitutional right to travel to the United States and no constitutional due-process rights to challenge exclusion; as the Supreme Court has written multiple times, "Whatever the procedure authorized by Congress is, it is due process as far as an alien denied entry is concerned." What's more, while the president doesn't have the authority that Obama has claimed, to let in anyone he wants for any reason (under the guise of "parole"), he does have the statutory authority to keep anyone out, for any reason he thinks best.

[L]arge Muslim populations, continually refreshed by ongoing mass immigration, are a problem. Polling suggests between a quarter and a third are not attached to the principles of the Constitution, supporting things such as sharia law over U.S. law and the use of violence against those who insult Islam. Nor is this merely hypothetical; Muslims account for only about 1 percent of the U.S. population but account for about half of terrorist attacks since 9/11. That means Muslims in the United States are about 5,000 percent more likely to commit terrorist attacks than non-Muslims.

Let me be among the first to say that with a few tweaks and refinements (and a few exceptions) Trump’s ban on all Muzz is a doable, nay, great plan!
Who is this “everyone is outraged.” I personally don’t know anyone who is outraged. The only outrage I’ve seen on the net is coming from democrats, and their running dogs among republicans, and people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, spouting off about “constitutional right,” “the first amendment,” etc. Which are all nonsensical arguments. These are the same people who bring up the Japanese internment camps, again an argument which is idiotic since no one has suggested Muslim internment camps.
Once again Donald Trump forces the DC establishment to address the issue.
PING....
I have to give Kirk credit for say temporary. Most media people leave that key part out. By the way GO TRUMP GO
We're gonna have to make a bold decision on this one.
Let me be as blunt as I can possibly be:
The idea that the Constitution prevents us from barring entry to this country of those who are committed to our subjugation or annihilation is just plain stupid. Those promulgating this view are at best dangerous ignoramuses.
If the Constitution was really such a suicide pact it would itself automatically be illegitimate. The God-given, unalienable right to self-protection is the first part of the natural law, which precedes and supersedes all man-made laws and constitutions.
Not only do we have NO moral or constitutional obligation to admit Islamists to our country, it is specifically against the law to do so:
~ The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” ~
Islam is by its very nature hostile to our country, its people, and to our republican principles. Its object is to subjugate or, if necessary, annihilate us, by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.”
By “everyone” they mean: media, liberals, and gope. Which is exactly who should be destroyed.
Love your response —bump because I’m going to shamelessly rip it off :-)

8 USC 1182 allows the president to bar access to the US any group he wants to without going to Congress. Obama can do this with a stroke of the pen, legally.
Nothing unconstitutional about it. Black letter law.
The public and Trump agree.
Any wonder why most people think the GOPe is no difference between the GOP and Democrats.
Now what was the address of Tashfeen Malik?
She was vetted?
He should have that power, as the Commander in Chief.
His job, before anything else, is to secure the lives, liberty, and property of the American people, and our national sovereignty, security, and borders.
The only grown up answer to islam is to ban it and its people from these shores. The people who play around this subject just want my enslavement or death. No thanks. You continue to treat islam as not the problem then you are colluding with it and the enemy of American freedoms.....there is a name for that.
Every time Trumps says something, he gains supporters. Every time the GOPe lackeys make a rebuttal, they pound one more nail into their coffin.
Can they really be this oblivious to what Americans are telling them?
I don’t think ANYBODY who is currently a part of the federal governmemt realize just how PISSED OFF the majority of Americans are with them.
Put it this way: If an election were held tomorrow to put ALL federal officials up in front of a firing squad, I would bet that 3/4 of the people would say make sure it was televised, and make donations for ammunition.
Yes, after eight years of “hope & change”, people are that fed up.
