And why do people scream about ti being unconstitutional? Can someone elaborate on that?
Once people reach our shores, they are subject to the protection of our Constitution.
Before they reach our shores, we can ban them for any reason -- At all
We can ban people that aren't tall enough. We can ban them if we don't like the color of their eyes or the color of their skin or their IQ or the way they dress or we can ban them based on sex or -- We can ban anybody for any reason -- Period.
But once they reach the USA, they are subject to Constitutional protections
dimocraps are some stupid bitches. Don't listen to the. They're too stupid.
And, gee, I'm real concerned that ISIS might not like us because of it
You are so wrong. Yes, perhaps our country today could be that selective. But one must understand that first, it violates the very principal that made America great, and second, it signals the end of the experiment that was America's unique form of a participatory republic.
Democracy was not unique. It had been around for more than a thousand years. The very Constitution itself was basically stolen from the Six Nations. But what was unique about the United States was jus soli, the right of the soil. Citizenship simply by birth. And wide open borders. And I do mean wide open.
Colonial North Carolina opened her borders to everyone. Murderers, Blackbeard, thieves and thugs, anyone and everyone was welcome. It was an opportunity for a fresh start, even from criminals fleeing other colonies. That became the foundation of this country, for know this, no state in the Union sacrificed more of their sons to the defense of this nation through the first two hundred years of our existence.
Jus soli and open borders have been the lifeblood that has allowed this experiment to flourish. For without it, when the government can pick and choose her citizens, the government inevitable takes on a power that places the government in control, and not the people. A government of the people, by the people, for the people no longer exists when the government gets to pick the people.
