The Feb 03 ruling against Pres Trump’s temporary 7-nation ban on immigration gives Republicans an excellent chance to invoke the law that clearly allows it.
Sadly, it seems only the President is doing so.
We suggest congressional Republicans stop cowering under desks, stand with Pres Trump, and use EVERY press opportunity to loudly and clearly explain settled law.
And, explain how the 7 nations targeted DON’T background check or properly vet those immigrants headed to America...if that’s not a good enough reason, what is?
What part of this 65-year old law is not comprehensible?
8 U.S. Code § 1182 – Inadmissible aliens
(f)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.
More importantly, how does a federal judge ignore this VERY plain language?
And, as Deroy Murdock points out, that judge who ruled to stay the President’s ban was wrong about his ‘no-terrorists-from-those-nations’ rationale as well.
That judge ignored plain-spoken settled law…and dangerous proven facts.
If the 9th Circuit rules against Mr. Trump’s appeal, EVERY act of terrorism by those who slipped through, from Feb 03 forward, is on the heads of an activist judiciary.
