The President has authority over banning entry by citizens from specific nations, not religions.

The President can stop all immigration at anytime for any reason.

You're wrong. The President has authority to put a moratorium on the entry of any class of alien into this country for as long as needed for the security of this nation.

The President has authority over banning entry by citizens from specific nations, not religions.

Yet he's been deporting only the CHRISTIAN SYRIAN REFUGEES.

I'm pretty sure Christianity is a religion.
