It could, but that empty seat will be filled very soon.

No one who is not a U.S. citizen has a right to enter this country, and the President can deny entry to anyone he deems a risk to national security or a threat to American citizens.

DHS Announces Further Travel Restrictions for the Visa Waiver Program

Release Date:
February 18, 2016

For Immediate Release
DHS Press Office
Contact: 202-282-8010

WASHINGTON—The Department of Homeland Security today announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of concern, limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.

Pursuant to the Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security had sixty days to determine whether additional countries or areas of concern should be subject to the travel or dual nationality restrictions under the Act. After careful consideration, and in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security has determined that Libya, Somalia, and Yemen be included as countries of concern, specifically for individuals who have traveled to these countries since March 1, 2011. At this time, the restriction on Visa Waiver Program travel will not apply to dual nationals of these three countries. DHS continues to consult with the Department of State and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to develop further criteria to determine whether other countries would be added to this list.

Last month, the United States began implementing changes under the Act. The three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals. Under the new law, the Secretary of Homeland Security may waive these restrictions if he determines that such a waiver is in the law enforcement or national security interests of the United States. Such waivers will be granted only on a case-by-case basis. As a general matter, categories of travelers who may be eligible for a waiver include individuals who traveled to these countries on behalf of international organizations, regional organizations, and sub-national governments on official duty; on behalf of a humanitarian NGO on official duty; or as a journalist for reporting purposes.

The addition of these three countries is indicative of the Department’s continued focus on the threat of foreign fighters. DHS continues to review the security of the Visa Waiver Program, the threat environment, and potential vulnerabilities. This is the latest step in a series of actions over the past 15 months to strengthen the security of the Visa Waiver Program and ensure the Program’s requirements are commensurate with the growing threat from foreign terrorist fighters, many of whom are nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries.

Yes, he does, because he understands you...knows what you're going to do before you do it. He knew you'd say "why didn't he do this, or that or the other thing". He understands you will never criticize Obozo or his decision to label these countries specifically areas of concern.

Obozo had his shot...people felt so confident in leadership, , got a Republican elected in Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts seat, then he lost the super-majority in the Senate, Then the House to Republican control in his first midterm and the Senate by his second. Nine Hundred Plus state offices were lost by the Democrats. The blue wall crumbled. Hillary, who Obozo campaigned for relentlessly, lost the election...and with it lost Obozo's opportunity to reshape the Supreme Court. If nobody cared about his opinion before November 8th...they sure as hell don't give a flying fuck now.

I empathize with your butthurt. We were feeling it in 2008...when our own knucklehead handed Obozo the keys to the White House with a filibuster proof Senate. Remember all the protests on Inauguration Day 2008? The riots in the streets, police in riot gear all over the nation? The burning vehicles in the streets? No? Strange, isn't it.

"Sixteen Democratic state attorneys..."

Keep wondering why you lost

16 that will be found to not have standing.

 

[DarkFury]

The judges are over stepping the law. While ANY judge can overturn a law NO JUSTICE can overturn the constitution. The power was granted TO the President IN the Constitution.

"""
“As the chief legal officers for over 130 million Americans and foreign residents of our states, we condemn President Trump’s unconstitutional, un-American and unlawful Executive Order,” the joint statement said.

“Religious liberty has been, and always will be, a bedrock principle of our country and no president can change that truth.”

The statement was issued by the attorneys general for New York, California, Pennsylvania, Washington, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Virginia, Oregon, Connecticut, Vermont, Illinois, New Mexico, Iowa, Maine, Maryland and Washington, D.C."""

Wahooooooo! Get down on your knees, Donnie.

Yet the final countdown is in trumps hands.. Why are they wasting money on the ultimate Supreme Court confirmed? You liberals made huge mistake..

That will cost a lifetime of never fighting back

And? They are going to lose.

The president has the power to ban immigration from a particular country over security concerns.

Unilaterally? Without a vote of Congress? I'm not so sure that he does. These are exactly the kind of things Republicans rightly criticized Obama over the last eight years

Yes, I think he does. As the chief executor he is in charge of executing federal law and immigration and border security falls under that charge.

You need to let the entire scope of the information in the links given in pots 32 and 42 sink in, and oscuma cant address a thing anymore he is just a puff of smoke gone in a whirlwind, and completely irrelevant. Just like these 16 AGs

I don't see how the states have a legal standing to sue seeing as how they arent the aggrieved parties.

The U.S. has checks/balances and separation of powers so as to prevent an asshole like Trump from thinking he's the reincarnation of King George III.

Irrelevant. The states are not the aggrieved party and therefore have no standing to sue just like the courts denied Texas the right to sue the Obama administration when they were resettling immigrant children in their state.

 

[oreo]

"Sixteen Democratic state attorneys..."

Keep wondering why you lost

I'm certain they'll be plenty more Democrat governors in 2018. As far as losing, everyone knows that the goal posts were moved on Hillary Clinton's side of the field.

Which will insure that EVERYONE votes.

The law is on Trump's side. These are unAmerican rogue AG's. Here is the statute that authorized Trump to initiate the travel ban.
e President has the explicit authority to do so by statute:
8 U.S. Code § 1182 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.

Sorry, Sparky. Note that the law you cite doesn't say inadmissible due to religion. You didn't even read it, did you? You're parroting another dumbass.

You're not smarter than a state AG, you're not even smarter than a pig with lipstick.

Actually it does, it's written broadly enough to cover anyone he sees fit. My B/U

8 U.S. Code § 1182 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.

Sixteen Democratic state attorneys general vowed Sunday to fight President Trump’s executive order for travel bans...
​

Butthurt democrats are butthurt. Politics over the safety of American citizens. Yea...you should be so proud...

​

You should have been smart enough to see that Trump will give himself enough rope to hang himself, too.

Enough with the butt hurt already. We get it!

Comical that all you can come up with is "butthurt" and "snowflake". Hasn't Trump given you some new buzz words lately?

Somehow, butthurt and snowflake seem to be sufficient.

Keep them in mind because you will be in butthurt meltdown mode as this thing proceeds.

Yeah, you keep thinking that, every similar order based on that law has be upheld by the courts.

NADMISSIBLE ALIENS

Text contains those laws in effect on February 4, 2017

8 USC 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. 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.

WHERE DO TERRORISTS COME FROM? NOT THE NATIONS NAMED IN TRUMP BAN
Terrorists do not come from the seven countries named in Trump’s Muslim ban order

Is that why were two Iraqis arrested on terrorism charges?
