Ping....
Just waiting for President Trump to take his Oath of Office....
If the Democrat/GOP Uniparty objects to Trumps proposal, they should consider changing their laws.
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

Never back down...DOUBLE DOWN DONALD !
Trump should point out that it is perfectly legal for a president to designate whole classes of people as being ineligible for immigration. Naturalized citizens who join terrorist organizations within 5 years of their naturalization can also have their citizenship revoked. Those who are only here as aliens, and are not citizens can be deported. He should start saying that as well.
Well, I have to add my thoughts on Erik Erickson... he is from my area.. and he is on the radio after Hannity... a time when I am driving home. Just a few months ago, he was on a tear about mosques. He said we are a nation of freedom and freedom of worship.. and he loudly proclaimed anyone who was against a mosque being built, was not a Christian. Christians had to be loving and allowing other religions their freedom of worship. He was on this subject for at least half an hour...
I had to finally turn him off.. I SO disagreed with him.
Erickson lost a lot when he went against Trump. He is begging back into the Trump tent!
Quite a switch for Erick the Turd.
Erick Erickson trying to weasel his way back. What happened to the guy who said he wouldn’t let his wife and daughter in the same room with Donald Trump?
This more than about marginalizing TRUMP. It is about marginalizing us.
Something is beginning, in these last 12 months of the Obama Progressive/GOP/MSM desperation, and DRUDGE has a column up on the “group think” cult that is coming after anyone outside of it.
Things are heating up.
I am going to politely call the author a Fraidy Cat.
We know it was all the anti-Trump midgets in the gop who are piling on with their dem buddies.
I hope that Trump remains strong, doesn’t back down, and survives the storm.
Fat sweaty Erik is trying to suck up to Trump voters. Too late.
Not for nor against Trump, but on this issue he needs to come out and say something like “The GOP can keep their heads firmly implanted in their butts, with their fingers shoved I n their ears- but we’ve got a serious problem folks- and the fact that the republicans are criticizing my suggestion show that they are not ready to run this country In a manner that will keep us all safe”
This guy finally gets it.
Wonder if he ever reflects on how behind the curve he allowed himself to get.
Someone she inform this ignorant Erickson that the President has the ability to shut down any immigration he or she sees fit to shut down under 8 USC 1182.
The actual DEBATE is about whether the US needs a legal test for what constitutes a legitimate religion under 1A.
The Constitution isn’t a suicide pact. Islam suffers on two points as to whether it constitutes a religion.
1. Apostasy is not allowed
2. Sharia is an alternative justice system in competition with the US justice system.
A legitimate religion imposes a moral code, enforced by ones own conscience. Islam’s sharia code is considered a legal code that applies to anyone living in a muslim doeminated society enforced by both clerical and governmental officials.
It doesn’t pass the test. As such, 1A doesn’t apply. Further to that, there are all kinds of legal tools that can now be brought to bear on the issue of mosques funding, fomenting, and facilitating armed jihad in the USA (and abroad).
Having this discussion would put the USA in the lead again, and it would provide international law the legal tools necessary to intervene in the affairs of regions afflicted by islam.
It would also improve on how we look at the separation of church and state. Praying in class wouldn’t be a problem. Including islam in a discussion of comparative religions would be. Teachers proselytizing for Christ in class would be a problem. Teachers leading a voluntary prayer on the 50 yard line wouldn’t be a problem.
A test on what constitutes a legitimate religion would return rationality to the manner in which government and religion interweave themselves in pursuit of the same goal - a more perfect union.
Erickson thinks so little of the po folks in flyover country that he thinks all will forget his RINO true colors as he attempts to reinvent himself as a genuine conservative when in reality he’s vying for a position as a GOPe mole inside the outsider camp.
I would like to see a full 20 year moratorium on all immigration in order to allow those who are here to assimilate to our culture instead of having us assimilate to theirs.
“spent nearly a month unable to let my kids check our mailbox at home for fear of them finding God knows what. “
So it’s still all about THE ERIK, what an ego!
He lost me with the UN-INVITE!
YES IT DOES... liberal elites and GOPe are jumpin' on the bandwagon...
They{Americans} see an American President willing to curtail the second amendment without due process and have responded in kind.
Odd how so few in the MSM 'caught' what Obama was attempting to do...
That said, hats off to Erick Erickson ... he is his own man...
Hey Erick,
Too late. Please stay the hell away from the party.
