If they have been granted a visa, yes they are under our jurisdiction and that grants them certain rights. For instance, the president cannot reject that visa based on race or national origin. They also have a right to redress their grievances in a court of law.Why are the immigrants who were in the path of coming to the US without restrictions? They are not here and are not subject to our constitutional rights.Within his rights to stop immigration from the countries in question. That really was never the question as far as I know and the ban is still in place on those countries. The question is what about those already in transit or have otherwise obtained authorization to do so. In those cases, he does not have the power to simply reject them as they now fall under US jurisdiction and are afforded the protections in the constitution.Trump is within his rights. What can be done to those dingbat judges that ruled he was wrong?
There is little difference between that and a citizen that is in Iraq when the ban was signed. just because they are not physically in the states does not mean that they lose all rights associated with being a citizen. Just because you are not physically in the states does not mean you lose all the rights associated with having been issued a visa either. Both are still subject to US jurisdiction in one form or another and both retain certain rights that are protected under that jurisdiction.
Those that have not been issued a visa and/or authorized to be in the US are up a creek without a paddle - the executive branch does not have to issue them anything.
