“Any class of alien.”
That’s true, but banning those of a specific religion will venture into prickly legal ground. I highly doubt that would stand up in court, especially with the leftist schlubs inflicted upon us by this current regime.
‘That’s true, but banning those of a specific religion will venture into prickly legal ground.’
The only rights non-citizens have are based on international law.
It’s been widely reported that Jimmy Carter banned Iranians. Was it on religious grounds? Or did my memory fail me?
Of course it would stand-up in court. What prickly legal ground are you referring to?
The Constitution is a social contract among "We the people of the United States of America." We AGREE to uphold its rights and responsibilities and obey its laws not to violate the rights of others.
As a limiting document, the laws and rights recognized under the Constitution only apply to US. The laws regarding naturalization are meant to protect US per the specifications of OUR representatives. Hence, said rights do not appertain to aliens or foreign nationals.
Islam, in its central document, holds any person who has spoken the Shahada bound to uphold its tenets under penalty of death. Among its responsibilities is to institute Sharia. Under Sharia any adherent to Islam is bound to violate the rights of free exercise followers of any other religion. They CANNOT therefore be participants in the social contract that is the Constitution and are therefore undeserving of its protections.
There's the argument. One cannot expect people to uphold laws they are bound to violate by a death penalty.
