Even if you think Donald Trump is a blind squirrel, remember that even a blind squirrel can often stumble over a nut.
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."
One other thing: The President of the United States already has sufficient statutory authority to stop Muslim immigration cold.
U.S. Law:
Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
"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."
The biggest issue we face is cajones in our leaders.
Other religions have been banned.
Great post.
You wouldn’t invite a stranger, especially a hostile, suspicious, or dangerous one, into your home. So why would you invite one into your country?
We have borders for the same reason we have doors.
If I were in charge of immigration, in addition to banning those who are obviously hostile to the US, I would require a sponsor for every single person admitted to the country. That sponsor would be responsible for supporting the admitted person and any children that person produced.
So if you’re a company and want to bring these people over for cheap labor, you should add in the cost of housing, welfare, food stamps, public education, health care, etc., and not expect the taxpayer to pick up the bill. Same for democrat groups or fake “charities” that want to import the underprivileged because they are so “compassionate” but whose compassion disappears when it’s time to pay the expenses of the imported person and leave that to the taxpayer.
