Congressman Brad Sherman;President Trump's Executive Order is illegal
Facebook ^ | 29 January 2017 | Congressman Brad Sherman

Posted on 01/31/2017 7:08:10 AM PST by An.American.Expatriate

President Trump's Executive Order is illegal, embarrassing, and won't keep us safe. It's pure politics. My staff & I are closely monitoring the situation at LAX, and I urge the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection to follow injunction to stop unconstitutional travel ban.

It wasn’t illegal when Obozo did it. Perhaps Rep. Sherman can expound on how that works?

It may be unconstitutional (pending a legal challenge), but how can it possibly be illegal if it is done according to the powers vested in the President under an existing Federal statute that is aimed at addressing precisely the situation these executive orders involve?

Simple solution.

Trump should just order the FAA to SUSPEND all air traffic into Los Angeles until local authorities can restore order to their airport.

Yo Brad, were you a lying Congre$$it, when your beloved Obama did the same thing. If so, why are you only now whining? We heard crickets from you when your beloved Obama did this!

President Obama puts six month ban on Iraqi refugees in 2011 and media…. Crickets from Brad, Pelosi, Schumer!

President Trump puts 120 day suspension on Syrian refugees 2017… media explodes.

Obama selects 7 countries for enhanced visa security policy and media… crickets. Crickets from Brad, Pelosi, Schumer!

Trump uses the same Obama law, same Obama DHS policy, and same 7 countries; for a 90-day visa suspension and media, Crickets from Brad, Pelosi, Schumer explodes!

Dude is probably worried that kalifornia will lose 10% of their population and electoral votes after the investigations into voter fraud and rational border controls.

Protecting American citizens from rape and murder by terrorists infiltration is illegal? Wow that’s a new one!

If that’s true then right to carry is mandatory!

Dumbassery is this guys strongest suit:

“Trump’s executive order also expressly relies on an Obama-era provision of the immigration law, Section 1187(a)(12), which governs the Visa Waiver Program. This statute empowers the executive branch to waive the documentation requirements for certain aliens. In it, Congress itself expressly discriminates based on country of origin.”

Not according to the liberal-leaning constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley.

These folks are not citizens, so it’s a mute point. Would be a different story if Trump wasn’t allowing American citizens back over.
