full title................Amal Clooney claims Trump proposals amount to 'state-sponsored torture and religious tests for immigrants that violate international human rights law'.........................Amal Clooney has warned that many of president-elect Trump's proposals would be 'violations of international law.'

Speaking at the Texas Conference For Women at the Austin Convention Center on Tuesday, the international human rights lawyer, and wife of George Clooney, said she had concerns about America's reputation under the real estate mogul's plans.

She noted that Trump's comments during his campaign, 'that there should be a religious test imposed on entering the U.S. or the fact that there should be state-sponsored torture or that families of suspected terrorists should all be killed — all of those things are violations of international human rights law and the values that underlie that.'

George Clooney was up for some position in the Beast’s administration, I guess that Amal is disappointed that she won’t be the Ambassador to Beirut.

Did Anal and George ever invite any of the economic refugees in England or Italy (or wherever they have mansions) to move in with them?

No, I thought not, so Anal can just shut up about what the USA “must” do for refugees. We already donate billions of American taxpayer dollars every year for foreign aid around the world. Private American charities give millions more annually.

“violate international human rights law”

Did nobody tell her that “international law” does not apply within the borders of the US? I’d love to see the Euroweenies try to prosecute him-they would have to try to kidnap the President of the greatest military power in the world like some Nazi war criminal!

She’s not even a real muslim. Muslim women are not allowed to marry infidel men, and George Clooney has not converted to Islam, so she would be in big trouble herself if the real muslims got a hold of her.

Amal should brush up on her law.

Got this in an email.

Wouldn't it be interesting if, at some point during the Presidential campaign, one of the candidates asked, "Oh, by the way, has anyone in Washington DC ever heard of the McCarran-Walter Act Of 1952?

I did not know of this Act until recently, but it has been a law for almost 65 years. Here are the historic facts that would seem to indicate that many, if not most, of the people we elect to work for us in Washington DC do not have the slightest idea of what laws already exist in OUR country.

After several terrorist incidents were carried out in the United States, Donald Trump was severely, criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims). The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being Un-American, dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist. Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and our President called such a prohibition on immigration unconstitutional.

Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President, whenever the President finds that the entry of 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 a period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose any restrictions on the entry of aliens he may deem to be appropriate." Who do you suppose last used this process?

Why it was president Jimmy Carter, no less than 37 years ago, in 1979, to keep Iranians out of the United States. But he actually did more. He made ALL Iranian students, already in the United States, check in with the government. And then he deported a bunch of them. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, and a total of 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the USA in 1979. So, what say you about all of the criticism that Donald Trump received from the Democrat Senators, Representatives and the Obama Administration?

Additionally, it is important to note that the McCarran-Walter Act also requires that an "applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and in agreement with the principles of our Constitution." Therefore, one could surmise that since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically, ALL Muslims should be refused immigration to OUR country.

Authenticated at: Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter Act)

#12 A beard for George Clooney and a supporter of terrorists.
She worked to get Qaddafi’s chief henchman out of prison so he could be free while awaiting trial. Of all the cases she could have chosen she choose to support a mass killer.

The Druze are just a wacky sect of Muslims, an offshoot of the Ismaelis with some Sufiism mixed in there as well.

Ignoring and subverting the law is the specialty of the left.

Trump should suspend ALL IMMIGRATION for at least 24 months. Let the Left wiggle out of that one.
