I hope President Trump sticks it to the liberal, l*****t judges

President Donald Trump wants to curtail migration into the U.S. from some of the world’s most dangerous hotspots of jihadism, he has options that would effectively navigate an end-run around the courts.
Trump hinted in his news conference Friday that the nation should expect something quickly, possibly a whole new executive order that would bypass the legal challenges.
“We will keep our country safe. That’s what I’m here for… I will give it the best security, so it will happen very rapidly,” Trump said Friday.
His top policy aide, Steven Miller, said essentially the same thing in appearing on all the major Sunday morning news shows.

Miller said “all options” remain on the table,” including a Supreme Court appeal.
“As you know, we have multiple options, and we are considering all of them,” Miller said on ABC’s “This Week.”
One of the options is to simply lower the ceiling on refugee resettlement for fiscal 2017, which began four months ago on Oct. 1.
Trump has already partially exercised this option in his first executive order when he lowered the annual ceiling from 110,000 refugees set by Obama to 50,000. Interestingly, this was the one part of his executive order that was not struck down by the lawsuits filed in Washington state and Minnesota.
There have already been 34,225 refugees enter the U.S. in fiscal 2017, meaning about 16,000 more are allowed to enter between now and Oct. 1. The vast majority of them, 77 percent, are coming from four of the seven countries listed in Trump’s executive order – Syria, Somalia, Iraq and Sudan.
By cutting the ceiling to 35,000, Trump would effectively end refugee resettlement for the rest of the fiscal year extending over the next seven and a half months. That would allow his administration to decide on a better vetting system and determine how high to set the ceiling for fiscal 2018.
Relying on emotion rather than facts, the media have joined the protest to bewail the plight of Syrian “refugees” and imply those who support Trump are “bigots” and “Islamophobes.” Some sane counterpoint is in order and you will find it in the new investigative book “Stealth Invasion” by Leo Hohmann
Initially, Trump’s refugee pause was for four months and indefinitely for Syria. By lowering the ceiling, he could fire back with a tougher policy that is actually more difficult to challenge in the courts.
By shutting down refugee resettlement for the remainder of the current fiscal year, Trump would also end migration from another dangerous outpost of Islamic terror that is not on his seven-nation list – Afghanistan.
According to refugee and legal experts, Trump would not even need to issue an executive order to do this.
The Refugee Act of 1980 gives the president the sole authority to set the ceiling on annual refugee numbers. All he is required to do is send a letter to Congress notifying them of the change.
“Basically you let Congress know along with a couple of agencies of the federal government,” said Jordan Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice.
“I think this is what the White House is considering, this and other options,” Sekulow told WND. “Start with something new, multiple cases, and get a fresh start. You have your attorney general in place now, your secretary of state, and you see some of the legal openings they are trying to seize upon at the Ninth Circuit, so if you can accomplish the same goal through multiple executive orders or other measures, why not?”
Refugee resettlement expert James Simpson also cited this option as virtually fool-proof in a column for the Daily Caller. He writes:
“President Trump does not need an executive order for this. He can simply send a letter to Congress, informing it of his intentions. Refugee caps for FY 2017 would be reduced to zero.”
Sekulow says the Ninth Circuit’s three-judge panel, considered the most liberal in the U.S., was quiet on the refugee portion of Trump’s executive order. And for good reason.
“They would have at least mentioned it if they thought that was an issue,” he said. “There’s a long history of pausing refugee resettlement for various reasons.”
National security is the strongest reason. Even President Obama paused resettlements from Iraq after two Iraqi men had slipped into the refugee ranks and were resettled in Bowling Green, Kentucky, only to find out later they were bomb-makers who’d k**led Americans in Iraq and were sending weapons and money back to al-Qaida in Iraq.
Ann Corcoran, at Refugee Resettlement Watch, said shutting down refugee resettlement would virtually eliminate the influx from four dangerous countries.
“It would significantly stop the Syrians, Somalis, Sudanese and Iraqis,” she said.
Very few people from these four countries typically get to the United States on visa programs such as student visas and work visas.
“I don’t know how many get here on the diversity visa lottery but I think the refugees represent the most significant portion of people from those countries getting in,” Corcoran said.
The diversity visa lottery program allows in about 50,000 foreign nationals per year into the U.S. on green cards from countries that do not have a history of sending many immigrants to the United States.
Sen. Tom Cotton in his new immigration bill has put forth a plan that would cut in half the overall number of green cards issued per year while doing away with the diversity visa lottery.

Yep...apparently....especially when they let Bush's and Obama's same exact ban go right thru. We both know this is strictly political and it's putting American lives at risk.

I would shut the whole program down for 120 days. Except green card holders and those legally allowed to come back in, I would halt the entire refugee program temporarily. it will be interesting to see exactly what Pres. Trump will do. Miller called it a "judicial usurper" of power by the courts. Obviously, the first E.O. was written hastily and they didn't take the time to cross their T/s and dot their I's, so they should re-write the EO and get it "legally and technically" RIGHT. (to cover foreign students, green card holders, etc.).

I have no problem with that. (the radical Left might accuse you of being intolerable, like we care). I would shut the whole immigration program down for 120 days, and maybe make some exceptions. I'm sure there is a way to get around this moronic call by Judge Robart (Washington DISTRICT Judge and then the 9th District Court, we saw that coming.) I'm sure this President will figure it out. There are 94 district courts in the US and this is like saying if one of these district judges doesn't like your politics or agenda, he can make a call like this? Pathetic.

They are the 9th Circuit has been over ruled 90% of the time on their rulings.. They need to be disbanded just as Senator McCain has motioned to be done... That many reversals not only show an extremely liberal environment but an incompetent one as well...

If they had a year to vet these people, how could it be done? For the most part, we have no records to check, nor birth records as in our former most beloved leader. No one knows anything, even what their real names are. Now I read that the terrorists have taken over a passport section in Afghanistan, so they can issue passports. We're stuck!

What you say is correct, but if the information supplied can not be completely verified by us then no approval period.. Also the onus needs to be solely on THEM in accumulating all data we need to make a decision...
With costs assessed to them in the verification process as well...

Linda, you are, as usual, right on. I believe that without vetting, we wouldn't have all these immigrants and that would be another Blessing from Heaven.

We agree, Carol... Given our open arm policy of Mr. Who, wrote truly do not know what we already have here completely unveiled...And I believe that was intentional to in fact get any number of Muslim terrorists in through Mexico...
Did you by chance read in here an article by a border patrol who unequivocally states at one point it was more muslims than Mexicans coming in and no way to verify anything on them.. But under orders of BO, they could not be kept.. Had to be released and that it was chilling to him to see what was really going on... From denial of nationalities to the numbers of those coming across daily??
Anyway, on a happier note, my friend
