Travel ban again blocked by Hawaii

[angeltrue]

My husband said if anyone is hurt in a terrorist attack here then the liberal Hawaiin judge should be held accountable. Doesn't the president alone hold the authority to protect citizens? I think everyone should contact our congressmen.

Contact our congressmen to do what exactly?

Abolish the supreme courts and lay all power into the hands of emperor/pastor trump?

There is law that states the President has full discretion over this sort of thing.

Does that law make his decisions exempt from the US constitution?

Constitutional protections do not apply to foreigners living outside the United States.

To be more specific:

(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. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.

Bolding mine.

I’ll repeat what someone else said...perhaps Trump needs to have a stern word with the president of Hawaii.....

The problem is, this doesn't stop terrorists. If a terrorist wanted to get into this country to do harm, they would find a way around this ban. They would go to another country, change their name and country of origin, and get in. It does not stop any home grown terrorists either that have been radicalized over the internet or at home.

This ban does nothing to stop terrorists.

It has everything with stopping Muslim immigration into this county.

Looks like it is time to cut funding to Hawaii along with Porto Rico.

Constitutional protections do not apply to foreigners living outside the United States.

They still apply to citizens living outside the United States.

Benjamin Franklin talked to people like your husband hundreds of years ago.

So a liberal Hawaiin judge is to blame for over 500 casualties in Las Vegas. Right.

Obama shares a good part of the blame for allowing bump fire stocks and not banning all guns like he said he would.

 

[Dawnhammer]

not banning all guns like he said he would.

Yeah , you wouldn’t have link for that claim?

I think it's terrible that one judge can put us all at risk.
