People are saying Trump’s act is illegal.
No, it’s not.
President Trump is following through with any number of his campaign promises. To wit:
Following a recent judge’s ruling on the ban, Homeland Security responds:
“President Trump’s Executive Orders remain in place — prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the US government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety.”
The judge’s ruling said this:
Please examine Fiallo v. Bell, 430 U.S. 787, 792.
CBS News reported:
Leftists, anarchists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots conveniently forget that Barack Obama banned all Iraqi refugees from entering the United States in 2011. No issue, no problem. From ABCNews.com, this quote:
As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets. One Iraqi who had aided American troops was assassinated before his refugee application could be processed, because of the immigration delays, two U.S. officials said. In 2011, fewer than 10,000 Iraqis were resettled as refugees in the U.S., half the number from the year before, State Department statistics show.
Plus, from the WashingtonExaminer.com:
President Obama has barred huge groups of potentially dangerous immigrants from entering the United States at least six times, undercutting his claim that barring Muslims from terrorist countries as Donald Trump has proposed is un-American.
In his first ban, according to a search of White House records, Obama instituted a ban on “immigrants or non-immigrants” covered by a larger United Nations travel ban. He also included those on an economic sanctions list. Most countries were Muslim.
He cited the very same section of law that many critics of his policies have asked him to use, “section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.” It says, “Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president 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 non-immigrant’s or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
He used the same provision five other times, one more in 2011, twice in 2012 and twice in 2014. In those, he targeted people aiding Iran, Syria, Crimea, and those involved in war crimes.
Still, in his latest tirade against Trump‘s call for a ban on Muslims from terror nations, Obama said such bans violate the American way. In reaction to the Orlando terror attack, Trump said, “When I’m elected, I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats.” Obama ripped him. “That’s not the America we want,” he said. “It doesn’t reflect our democratic ideals. It will make us less safe.”
White House documents also show that former President Bill Clinton issued six immigrant bans; George W. Bush six immigrant bans; and former President Ronald Reagan four. And in 1980, former President Jimmy Carter banned Iranians after Tehran seized the U.S. embassy.
Below are Obama‘s actions:
— July 25, 2011. Barred those under a UN travel ban, or who broke 29 executive orders covering transactions with terrorists.
— Aug. 4, 2012. Banned anybody involved in war crimes, or just about any other crime including human rights violations.
— April 23, 2012. Barred those helping Syria or Iran, or involved in human rights abuses for those governments.
— May 1, 2012. Another block on those helping Iran and Syria.
— April 3, 2014. Banned anyone known to threaten South Sudan.
— March 6, 2014 . Barred entry of those claiming government authority in the Crimea region of Ukraine, presumably on behalf of Moscow.Read More: (Link: www.washingtonexaminer.com)
Those seven enumerated countries referred to by Trump are the same countries previously identified by Barack Hussein Obama as problematic in nature for the United States of America.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas stated:
“It’s simply wrong to call the President’s executive order concerning immigration and refugees a ‘religious test’ of any kind. I doubt many Arkansans or Americans more broadly object to taking a harder look at foreigners coming into our country from war-torn nations with known terror networks; I think they’re wondering why we don’t do that already.”
Let the battle of national sovereignty vs open borders officially commence. Leftists and anarchists finally come out and state what they want: “no borders, no nation, fuck deportation.”

Correct. Leftists want no borders. No actual nation called the United States. I thank them for being, at least this time, honest.
In the interest of keeping national sovereignty with an eye towards self-determination and self-interest as well as national security, President Trump signed an executive order on Friday the 27th which banned Syrian refugees indefinitely and immigration from Syria, Yemen, Somalis, Sudan, Libya, Iraq and Iran for 90 days. Those countries were sourced referencing materials and incidents identified by the Obama administration.
Subsequently, Leftists, Demorats, anarchists and the American Media Maggots are losing their minds. Not that they were particularly well-assembled in the first place.
The Usual Suspects in the EU, Germany and France — Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande — are and will be doing their level best to demolish Trump’s decision. I suspect they are shocked they may be holding the refugee bag themselves only — but rightly so. They were the ones who decided to accept the refugee hordes in the first place, going so far as to ask for them. The true creator of the refugee problem is Barack Obama. Perhaps therein lies their umbrage.
Yes, these countries are predominantly Muslim — not for lack of trying by Christianity but because Christians are simply killed — as it is Islam that wishes to convert or kill the rest of the planet, and it is Islam that is directly linked to terror events aimed at the US and other western countries. The point at issue is the threat and danger represented by these nations. That they are mostly Muslim is a link but not the primary point. If Islam were not involved but they were still as dangerous the threat would still exist. If you merely changed the word “Catholic” to “Muslim,” for example — everything else being the same — I would strongly support Trump’s executive order.
Let’s not forget that ISIS and Islam has told us that its goal is to infiltrate Westernized countries like those of the EU and the United States. Terror groups are up front in terms of
At odds with damned near the entire state, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare in California, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence said:
“In light of attempts by jihadist groups to infiltrate fighters into refugee flows to the West, along with Europe’s tragic experience coping with this problem, the Trump administration’s executive order on refugees is a common-sense security measure to prevent terror attacks on the homeland.”
Additional irony was provided by Fornicalia’s newly-minted attorney general, Xavier Becerra, who has apparently been unconscious for the last eight years.
“Justice in America doesn’t live or die on the stroke of one man’s pen regardless of how high his office.”
If that isn’t remarkably obtuse, I don’t know what is.
Concern for our borders and who we allow into the country isn’t new. Let’s listen to the God of Demorats, William Jefferson Clinton, in 1994.
@mtracey Can we just note that Bill Clinton put a ban on refugees & proposed a wall? https://t.co/uanQ4nmRh8 pic.twitter.com/7GiirCfQZj

Bill Clinton limiting immigration? Obama barring Muslims not just once? What about Hillary Clinton who, it was revealed by Wikileaks, admitted that Muslim refugees could not properly be vetted?
“They can’t possibly vet all those refugees so they don’t know if, you know, Jihadists are coming in along with legitimate refugees.”
What about James Comey who said they could not be vetted?
A question for Leftists: if Islam has nothing to do with terrorism as you claim, why would a ban on immigrants from dangerous Muslim countries promote recruitment for ISIS and provoke terror attacks?
Another important question for Leftists: why do Muslim “refugees” flee to Christian/Western countries and not to their fellow Muslim countries? Let’s listen to a Muslim answer Katie Hopkins.
Leftists and those who wish to do harm to the United States, up in arms over President Trump’s common sense EO, cannot believe that 1. Donald Trump means to put America’s interests first and, 2. He is doing precisely what he said he would.
Try reading the order and understanding what it does and doesn’t do.
Leftists, Demorats, anarchists and the American Media Maggots don’t want you to understand that immigration to the United States was essentially halted between 1924 to 1965, via the Immigration Act of 1924 (otherwise known as the Johnson-Reed Act). The act provided immigration visas to two percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the United States as of the 1890 national census. It completely excluded immigrants from Asia. This was changed in the 60s by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which opened up numbers of immigrants from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Southern and Eastern Europe.
Make no mistake: Islam is a global cancer that is little-understood by the bulk of the planet. It means to — and tells us this everyday, in the clear, verbally and in writing — convert infidels to Islam or kill them. It removes freedoms, rights, oppresses women and children and continues to slaughter infidels, Kaffirs and each other in horrendous ways. I have said for years: “Islam is as Islam does.” It is a common sense axiom that would be applicable to any and every religion acting as does Islam in terms of violence and death.
Refugees in America are already responsible for acts of terror in the US.
One Finnish man seems to understand the danger of unvetted refugees.

Already, in the United States, the majority of Muslims believe Sharia law should take precedent over our own laws — and 60% of young Muslims in the US are more loyal to Islam than the United States. Please watch:

Why is all of this important or necessary? Here is one critical reason, from ABCNews.com:
The question comes down to this: is the stay on immigrants an issue of threats posed, or is it a matter of Islam?
Because here is what isn’t happening.
There is not a ban on individuals from Indonesia. Why is that important? Because Indonesia is the area which contains the greatest number of Muslims on the planet (around 62%), much greater than the Middle East.
Further, about 13% of the world’s Muslims, or 199.4 million out of up to 1.6 billion, live in those seven countries, according to a 2015 Pew Research Report, “The Future of World Religions: Population Growth Projections, 2010-2050.” Trump’s EO only impacts one of every eight Muslims worldwide.
Six of the seven countries to which the temporary visa issuance block applies were designated as “state sponsors of terrorism” or “countries of concern” by previous Democrat administrations, most Obama’s — also Jimmy Carter’s. Only one — Iran in 1984 — was designated by a Republican administration.
CAIR — a Muslim terror-tied group in the US — is already doing its level best to instigate lawsuits and foment upheaval and chaos against President Trump — who is attempting to do nothing more than protect the United States of America.
Remember: this emphasizes once again that the Demorats, Leftists, anarchists, the American Media Maggots and even a number of Republicans like John McCain and Lindsay Graham have no interest whatsoever in telling you the truth, revealing highly-important information, referencing history or placing issues in context. Where were Little Chuckie Schumer’s tears in 2015 and 2011 due to Obama’s actions? Where were McCain and Graham’s objections in those years because of Mr Obama’s declarations?
It’s all part of what I consider to be one of BZ’s Conventions: never let facts, history, logic, rationality, proportion and common sense get in the way of a good emotive and frakked-up decision.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the persons who were complaining about illegals who don’t belong in this country had as much concern about the quality of medical service provided to our veterans, the plight of our homeless veterans, and taking care of our own mentally-challenged and poor first.

P.S.
There was a recent shooting (Sunday, 1-29) at a mosque in Quebec City, Canada, with six persons killed. In steps BZ’s Terror Axiom: the longer authorities conceal the nature of actors in terror incidents the more likely they are Muslims. We know two of the suspects are Alexandre Bissonnette and Mohamed Khadir Plus, the suspects yelled “Allahu akbar” as they shot people. That is called a clue. One must read almost the entire article to find this highly-important bit of information.
The United States of America has two main enemies that want to destroy this nation as envisioned by our founders. Marxism/Globalism as represented by the Democrats and Islam. Both want to subjugate “We The People”. The tree of liberty will indeed be refreshed with their blood should they push to far. We still have the weapons and ammo purchased during the Obama regime. Dare the lefties and ragheads to jump if they feel froggy.
I pray every day that it never comes to that. But JFK was entirely correct when he said:
‘Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
Entry into this nation is a PRIVILEGE and not a right in ANY form.

It’s always context with the left, when THEY do it, it’s all good, when anyone else does, it’s HORRIBLE… Sigh…
And now Obama’s interim AG has said she will not defend Trump when sued over the issue:

Also, 0bozo ended the “wet foot/dry foot” program for anyone from Cuba just 3 weeks ago. Yes, this was because a lot of them voted for Trump, not because they are a threat as the muzzies are, and the zero wanted to childlishly retaliate against Trump for the voting, but my point is that the liberals twist the law to suit their ends, while Trump is focused on protecting the US, as you described above.
Obviously, this does nothing to remove the threat of those already here, which is a greater concern because there’s several million of them and it would be difficult to predict which of them will start shooting, or where this will be, or when.
Ironically, or maybe not, the deportations may increase the risk of another shooting.
Interesting times, indeed, Sir.
