Because Jimmy didn't do it on religious grounds and he banned immigrants from a nation which took Americans hostage. What has Syria done against the U.S. to warrant such a ban?Here is number eight US Code 1182, inadmissible aliens. This law was written
in 1952. It was passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress, House and Senate,
and signed by a Democrat president.
"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, 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 nonimmigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any
restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."
All of the pundits that are claiming that what Trump said is dumb, stupid,
reckless, dangerous, and/or unconstitutional, need to educate themselves. It
is already the law of the land. And it was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no
less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did
more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he
deported a bunch. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas,
15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States, 1979. You probably
won't hear of this from our mainstream media (nor from our
narcissist-in-chief), but those are the facts.
pssssssssssst
Trump isn't the POTUS. He's not even a nominee for the next General election for POTUS.. but those are the facts.
not yet. just pointing out that what he said is legal and has been done before by a democrat president.
Funny, I don't hear any whining from you libs about what Carter did, why is that?
I agree that Trump did not say it well. He should have said: we need to put a stop to all immigration until we find a valid way to vet every person before they are allowed to enter this country. for the record, he did not say ban Syrian refugees, he said muslims.
As politically incorrect as his statement was, he was correct in principle. We should not open our borders to people that we have no way of vetting.
Do you fear having borders that are open to those without visas from the EU?
