Is a Travel Ban by Any President Constitutional?

[ThoughtCrimes]

Even Democrat legal scholars say Trump's travel ban is absolutely constitutional.

OK, cite your independent sources. Waiting...

Well the Congress in 1952 answered that question when they passed the McCarren-Walter Act, other wise known as the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. This law allows for the "Suspension of entry, or impositions of restrictions by the President, whenever the President finds that the entry of aliens, or any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interest's of the United States. The President, by proclamation, and for such a period of time he may deem necessary, may suspend the entry of aliens, or any class of aliens as immigrants, or non-immigrants, or impose restrictions on entry of aliens as he may deem to be appropriate."

President Carter imposed a travel ban for Iranians during the 1979 "Hostage Crisis." He also required Iranian students already in the Unites States to register with the government. Seven thousand were in violation of their Visa's and 15 thousand Iranians were deported. In 2011 when the FBI discovered that two Iraqi refugees were determined to be cell members of al Queda President Obama imposed a six month ban on Visa's.

The question I'm wondering about, is will the federal and, or SC judges rule on the constitutionality of President Trumps current travel ban by their own personal opinion or by exisiting U.S. law?

The ruling has been made, and as usual trump attempts to belittle a federal judge who disagreed with him

I haven't been following the details, what ruling? I was of the opinion it was just a stay.

Even Democrat legal scholars say Trump's travel ban is absolutely constitutional. There was one small section that needed some tweaking regarding right to counsel which was corrected. It is now perfectly lawful.

This notion that some mid level judge who receives no national security briefings can overrule the POTUS on national security matters is dangerous.

Thats why we have separate but equal branches of government. To keep any President from becoming a dictator.
You probably weren't very upset when several Obama decisions were overturned by the judiciary

Right, lets hope its not your family who gets murdered by terrorists.

I knew you wouldn't and couldn't back up your outlandish claim regarding citations from multiple "legal scholars" owing to your limp Richard approach.

You are ill informed, not my problem. If you wish to participate in a discussion forum on politics you need to show up informed.

When Obama temporarily banned travel from certain countries to protect us from an Ebola outbreak that was also constitutional. And no doubt something else you are ill informed on.

Bans can be constittuional, but are not, automatically, because a President's EO is a ban. The EO has to follow the law.

Obama's executive orders were all illegal according to the Right, but for Trump he can issue all he wants, no big deal

He learned from the best.

Had there been stats to show that Ebola killed more Republicans than Democrats - or more whites than blacks, O'bammy woulda sat on his hands rather than sign off on limiting entry of the infected.

Some of Obama's were stopped by the courts, and so will Trump's.

A free press and free judiciary protect all of America from the fascists on the Alt Right and the socialists on the far left.
