San Bernardino

Hey, YF, so why is Trump loudly suggesting a plan that will not be implemented? What does that say about him and his supporters?

 

BTW, where did the hyphen come from in unconstitutional?

 

It won't be implemented because it won't even be considered by our current President.

Why is he proposing it? Look a the reaction it got.

 

Well, the Constitution grants freedom of religion.

Certain people in the country who are not citizens are still granted those rights. What if the plan extended to sending back Muslims already here on Visas?

I'd say it's up to the Supreme Court to decide.

It's funny. There are also people who claim that it's un-Constitutional to deny assault weapons to U.S. citizens. Can you believe that?

 

I don't have time to go back through the last few pages of the pissing match, so please forgive me if this has already been posted. I think it's a useful explanation of the existing case law on exclusion and whether or not an anti-Muslim immigration policy would be constitutional.

One note of my own, though, is that it does not deal with the significant difference between previous exclusions, which were based on ethnicity, and a religious exclusion which may or may not implicate the first amendment's religious protection clauses.

Trump.

 

I don't know. Is that wrong? I have no idea. I figured if I was going to use a capital C, I had to hyphenate it.

BTW, Constitutional is a difficult word for me to type. I misspell is about 90% of the time.

 

To people here. It owes nothing to people overseas applying for a Visa.

 

Thanks for taking my post out of context, Mr. Media Critic.

 

The Geneva Conventions aren't "international law?"

They may not be binding like domestic laws are, but let's not pretend a set of mutually adopted principles hasn't been adopted by a lot of countries.

 

It really is very difficult to get one. A friend of mine spent time working in Guatemala and eventually met and married his wife there. It took them six years to get her a Visa so they could move to the U.S., which was tremendously difficult on them after his dad suffered a stroke and became a quadriplegic.

I mean, there was no way to doubt their marriage is legitimate, she's a well-educated multi-lingual teacher who would obviously be able to find gainful employment in the U.S., yet it still took six years for them to issue her a visa.

Funny enough, she now works for the state department helping people navigate the visa process.
