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.”
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 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.”
They’re much worse.
Just saw this on another thread:
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

Oh, so NOW the Left cares about the Constitution. Where is this concern about the Constitution when it comes to the Second Amendment?
I thought it has been determined that we are AT WAR with the Muslims. I know I despise everyone of them, there are no moderates, they are just pending orders.
