The McCarren-Walter Act of June 1952 allows for the suspension of muslims entering the US.

This is Public Law 82-414 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Carter used this Act in 1979.

ALSO…The quran forbids muslims to swear allegiance to the US Constitution…Sharia is the legal code for Islam…Article 111, Section 3 of US Constitution refers to this being a treasonous offense.

Let me get this straight:

Democrats almost universally support strict, permanent laws requiring background checks on anyone who wants to purchase a firearm.

But when the President issues an Executive Order that initiates a temporary, 120-day freeze on immigration from countries that are known to be soft on terrorism so that the administration can have time to develop a better background check system for future immigrants, the Democrats:
  1. Threaten to withhold tax funds (I’m looking at you, California),
  2. Talk of seceding from the Union (dittoes), and
  3. Introduce bills reversing the Executive Order (California Senator Barbara Boxer).
If background checks are useful for keeping our citizens safe, why not apply them in the case of immigration as well as firearms purchases?

I am repeating the legal background:

The McCarren-Walter Act of June 1952 allows for the suspension of muslims entering the US.

This is Public Law 82-414 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Carter used this Act in 1979.

ALSO…The quran forbids muslims to swear allegiance to the US Constitution…Sharia is the legal code for Islam…Article 111, Section 3 of US Constitution refers to this being a treasonous offense.

Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, a 22-year-old Iranian immigrant, drove his SUV into a crowd of students at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, injuring six people on March 3, 2006. The reasoning, he stated, behind the attack was retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world.

I’m glad that you nailed down a demonstrated threat from an Iranian immigrant to the U.S. that 11 years ago injured six people. In the context of terrorist threats as well as the context of the violence that goes on in this country every single day, I personally don’t find your example very scary - and I live part time in NC. Call me reckless, but I don’t see the incident that you cite as justification for a travel ban of all Iranian immigrants.

During the last 8 years, we have witnessed many terrorist attacks on our soil.
I have no problem with a temporary ban to give Trump a chance to see what is in place and how it can be improved. That does not mean we will be completely safe from attacks since we have so many immigrants already here, but I do feel we have someone in the Oval Office who is more concerned about the safety of Americans than the previous president.

Really? Who shot up San Bernardino and Orlando? Which country were those nationals from? The prior president did NOT do the same thing: it was one response to one country. I just don’t see the “common sense” in giving a Get Out of Jail Free Card to Saudi Arabia. Trump’s the president now, not Obama.

exactly…so knowing that the safety of the us people now falls on his shoulders, I have no issues with the executive order as long as it is temporary. To me, it comes off as him wanting to take a close look at our systems in place to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. and he now has info that we don’t know about as well. Maybe it is something that has needed to be done for awhile but obama didn’t want to do it b/c he was coming to the end of his term and knew the outcry that would result.

Now after 120 days, if nothing has changed, I get the outrage. But for now, I’m taking trump at his word b/c its all we have so far

You could include ask why the UAE, Egypt and Turkey are not listed. These 4 places are where, it appears, Trump has multi-million-dollar business operations.

I can’t say for sure, but probably the UAE, Egypt and Turkey have information on nearly everyone within their borders, while these others do not or are unreliable.

And if they don’t have any information on anyone wanting to come from there, that should probably be an automatic turn down by the U.S. If, say, UAE does not know anything about someone who is there, then why should we take them without knowing anything about them either?
