TRUMP SAYS IT’S TIME TO DENY ENTRY TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. CAN HE?
Powerline ^ | June 25, 2018 | PAUL MIRENGOFF

Posted on 06/26/2018 3:27:43 PM PDT by Lazamataz

Philip Rucker and Dave Weigel, two of the Washington Post’s most incorrigibly biased anti-Trumpers, lead off their latest editorial thinly disguised as a news report this way:

President Trump on Sunday explicitly advocated for depriving undocumented immigrants of their due-process rights, arguing that people who cross the border into the United States illegally are invaders and must immediately be deported without trial or an appearance before a judge.

Trump’s attack on the judicial system sowed more confusion. . . .

Rucker and Weigel are among the confused. Either that or they are hiding the ball.

8 U.S.C. §1182(f) of the U.S. Code confers on the president the power to turn away immigrants at the border. It provides:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

Rucker and Weigel do not mention this presidential power. But its existence undermines their suggestion that Trump would be denying “due-process rights” if he decided to deny entry to immigrants without granting them a trial or an appearance before a judge.

Good point.

The border invading folks are merely replacing the millions of children that WOULD have been born!

The implication is that people not in or legally in the US are not entitled to entry and the final judgement rests with the Chief Executive.

If the Court wanted to rule on something, they would state so explicit, not imply it. You are confounding two groups. The first are those not in the the US. The second are those that are in the US, legally or not.

Obama already came down on this when he abandoned the one foot rule for Cubans and began rrturning all Cubans illegally entering US without due process. So you see it’s already been done.

Ending the "wet foot / dry foot" policy applied expedited removal to Cubans the same as any other "3rd nation" (not Mexico or Canada) arrivals.

Yes, a lawful case can be made according to international law, Mexico perpetrates a continuous act of war by allowing and promoting people who are Persona Non Grata, from South America, to pass through its territory and accost the US border.

This is demographic invasion.

PDJT has a case, actually, a very good case.

An illegal alien has already entered the country.

“Give them a copy of the 2nd amendment and constitution. Send them back. Tell them to figure it out. First, your effed up rulers/overlords/reprsentatives have to die.”

That would make Mexico shut it down really fast. Actually a very good idea.
