Donald Trump promised to ban dangerous Muslim refugees from the US. Now, as president he has specified which countries fall under that ban. The papers are going crazy and open border proponents say his move is illegal as well as unconstitutional. Neither statement is true. In the following article, I will explain why it’s legal and that when the ACLU charged that the law was unconstitutional, the Supreme Court refused to even take their case for consideration because it was established law already.
Hey!! Guess what? We don’t have to open our border doors wide, as Obama and the liberals would have you believe, because we have a law and a constitution that allows it. When asked about Trump’s ban, Cruz said this:
We’re looking at a president who’s engaged in this double speak where he doesn’t call radical Islam and terrorism by [its] name. Indeed, he gives a speech after the San Bernardino attack where his approach is to try to go after the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens rather than to keep us safe and even worse, President Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing bringing in tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into this country when the head of the FBI has told Congress they cannot vet these refugees. I understand why Donald made that proposal. I introduced legislation in the Senate that I believe is more narrowly focused at the threat, which is radical Islamic terrorism. What my legislation would do is suspend all refugees for three years from countries where ISIS or al Qaeda control substantial terrority.
As we have seen, Syrian Islamic extremists are using passports from countries not associated with terrorism in order to gain entry into European cities such as Paris and Brussels. Cruz’s plan would allow them to do that to gain entry into the United States.
Don’t listen to Ted Cruz or the liberals. Trump’s planned ban on Muslims is not only constitutional but it’s been the law in this country since 1952. Congress passed the law in order to keep the Nazis out after WWII.
The act was passed in order to give Harry Truman the ability to keep out immigrants from the Axis powers, and he did. No one questioned that right in court. However, in 1980, Jimmy Carter once again invoked the 1952 law and banned all Iranians from entering the country and also deported thousands who were already here.
Here is an excerpt statement put out by Carter in 1980:
Fourth, the Secretary of Treasury [State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.
The ACLU rushed to the rescue of all Iranians just as you knew they would, but the Supreme Court ruled against them and told the ACLU that their argument about First Amendment rights was invalid and upheld the law as constitutional. (You would think a great constitutional scholar like Cruz would know that. Of course most constitutional scholars aren’t pandering to the Muslims in this country in order to get elected.)
In the USCIS handbook, it describes reasons for keeping out unwanted immigrants. The full text is rather lengthy, so I will only post the relevant sections. These excerpts come from Section 212, Chapter 2 of the USCIS handbook:

(G) 41 RECRUITMENT OR USE OF CHILD SOLDIERS- Any alien who has engaged in the recruitment or use of child soldiers in violation of section 2442 of title 18, United States Code, is inadmissible.
Therefore, Trump doesn’t need the RNC, his opponents, congress or the Supreme Court to keep from allowing Muslims from entering the country. And since Trump is nowhere as near PC as the average liberal and RINO girly men are, he will follow through.
