Video: Robert Spencer on why the blocks on Trump’s immigration ban are illegitimate

Mar 18, 2017 6:07 pm By Robert Spencer

This morning I spoke at the Young America’s Foundation conference at the Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara, California on Trump’s immigration ban and why the judicial blocks on it are illegitimate.

    The islamic doctrine of ” as to those whom you fear disobedient”, that’s an actual irrattonal fear by muslim men of women being out of line. That should rightly be called “disobedientophobia”.

      They fix that by mutilating their little girls – and in some cases, making them wear their severed genitals in little bags on belts:

      The idea of evils such as those of Islam is not even present in the minds of most westerners …. yet.

    Regarding the quranic sanction of muslim men beating their wives, the rarely mention deed of pedophilia muslim men severely beating their child brides into submission to rape. Sometimes the child brides were brutally raped to teir death despite thei agony cry. This religiously sanctioned pedophilic torture of children should be brought to the forefront whenever this islamic wife beating doctrine is mentioned.

    White supremacy is not held up as a religion. It is outlawed as a criminal element whereas islam, with its commandments to followers to commit violence, is touted as not just a religion, but a “religion of peace”. Bid big difference.

    Of course, if the ultra-left is going to compare the two, then they should recognize that islam is a criminal element that should be outlawed like the white supremacy. Actually, their comparison was doing exactly that to their ignorance.

    All our youth need to hear this. Should be in all our grade schools and colleges, so they can maybe see the truth.

    Where in the Constitution does it prohibit the President or Congress from banning alien muslims or any class of aliens of whatever faith to immigrate into America, whether permanently or temporary? I don’t see any. So, why’s all the talk that centers around “it’s not a permanent ban” or “it’s not a religious ban” or “it’s not a ban on muslims”?

    I don’t think the RINO eunuchs in Congress have the courage to impeach any federal judge. Neither am I all that confident that Gorsuch is going to be this big originalist. If Gorsuch gets approved and then SCOTUS fails to overturn these lawless judges’ rulings I don’t see any alternative except for Trump to enforce the orders anyway. He is in the right. It is the judges who are violating the law. Trump needs to ignore their rulings.

      You’re probably right–and it’s a bad day for separation of powers and checks and balances. As for Gorsuch, he worships in a very liberal Episcopalian church with a priestess who is theologically relativist–the very sort of “leader” in Western civilization who is giving away the store. I’m of the mind that the Founders intended the impeachment machinery to be used a lot more often than it has been.

        Nice research or observation, Kepha. Albeit very troubling conclusion. We ought to pay heed to it. Only question left is what correlation is their between this negative influence, recognized as unpatriotic American, perhaps better stated as “progressive” social relativist contaminated influence, and Gorsuch’s behaviors and beliefs?

      This is what Trump should have done when they blocked the 1st EO – ignored them.

    If Trump’s Executive Orders were truly a “Muslim ban”, they would’ve had something to say about people coming from Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Afghanistan, Tajikstan, Kyrgyzia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey., Jordan, SA, the Gulf Countries, Egypt, Chad, the Maghreb countries, Mauretania, Mali, Senegal, Guinea, Niger, and Eritrea, to say nothing of considering the Muslim minorities of Russia, China, and India.

    If these black-robed fools’ rulings stand, it would only be poetic justice if they found themselves with Da’esh, Al Shabab, or AQIAP neighbors.

      Yes; send all “refugees” to Hawaii.

      The Hawaiians will need to go in together to buy a house in the judge’s neighborhood and fill it with refugees.

      Hopefully the judge has daughters.

      Of course, if he so approves of Muslims, he may not CARE what Muslims do his daughters.

    Spot on. The only real question is whether the Trump administration will make this clear.

    YOU ARE PERFECTLY CORRECT THAT THE STOPPAGES ON TRUMP’S BILL ARE WRONG! IN 1952, A “LAW” WAS MADE THAT STATES THAT IF A PRESIDENT FEELS THAT PEOPLE FROM A CERTAIN COUNTRY (OR COUNTRIES) ARE POSING A DANGER TO AMERICAN PEOPLE, HE HAS A RIGHT TO STOP THEM.FROM ENTERING OUR NATION. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR PRESIDENT IS DOING AND THAT LAW IS STILL IN EFFECT SO WHAT THOSE JUDGES DID ARE ILLEGAL!

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Mar 19, 2017 at 7:27 am

      I hope that you – and many other Americans here who share your understanding – will be sending emails, phone calls and actual printed snail-mail stamped and signed letters to the President, and saying in them, exactly what you have just posted.

      Add that you would like to see a blanket ban on *all* identifiable Muslims from *anywhere*, because.. Got Muslims? Got Jihad.

      That means, extending the ban to apply to countries like Saudi Arabia and the Emirates and Turkey and Indonesia.. etc etc etc.

      Emphasise that fully-vetted (by knowledgeable non-Muslims) and vouched-for (by already-present-in-USA kin and clergy, and by organisations like Barnabas Fund) members of the horribly-persecuted and oppressed indigenous *non-Muslim* minorities trapped in countries like Egypt and Syria and Iraq *should* be permitted to enter, without a lot of fanfare (so as to discourage mohammedans from trying to pretend to be what they’re not). Any Mohammedan who *does* pretend to be what they ain’t, in order to get a toe inside the door, MUST be given the boot the *instant* the imposture is detected. But I think groups like Barnabas Fund, who’ve worked with the persecuted Christian minorities for *decades*, would be pretty good at weeding out any fakes.

    “If you want a tyrannical dictatorship to enslave you,  .  .  . 
     then keep yourself uninformed by ignoring essential information,  .  .  . 
     on which crucial decisions should be made,  .  .  . 
     until the action you take – – – is too late to save yourself.”

    If you have contacts who are so anti-Trump that they will eagerly believe Soros and his leftist cronies, who collectively control the mainstream mass media to convince gullible Americans, Canadians and Europeans that the current president of the USA did not have authority to implement a travel ban against travelers from certain countries, ……… then you should educate them with the following information.
     
    Because of such easy to fool people who choose not to research lies that are published for their consumption, we are faced with the responsibility of trying to acquaint them with reality, ……… and have them question, at least, but hopefully reject the fantastic foolishness of the Obama/Clinton crowd.
     
    From all appearances, one could reasonably suspect that a coalition of some Democrats, Rinos and other treasonous traitors are collectively involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected government of the USA.    This would include certain members of the Judiciary and other Obama appointees.
     
    With very little effort I was able to find the following description of the McCarran-Walter Act.    Notwithstanding the many modifications to the Act, it was used effectively by former Presidents Jimmy Carter and George Bush much more substantially than anything proclaimed by President Trump to date, without the hysterical opposition that has plagued Trump for trying to do the same.
     
    So tell your mass media conditioned contacts to not automatically believe everything that is published, ……… and that includes anything that I publish until, ……… they have researched and verified the facts.
     
    As has been said many times before, ……… “Never underestimate the (corrupted) power of stupid (easy to fool) people in large groups”.
     
                

     
    President Trump’s Travel Ban and the McCarran-Walter Act
     
    The 82nd Congress of the United States of America enacted Public Law 414 – June 27, 1952′  [66 Stat.
     
    This 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act (also known as the McCarran-Walter Act) Chapter 477 begins at page 163
    ( this is page 1 of the 120 page PDF found at http://library.uwb.edu/Static/USimmigration/66%20stat%20163.pdf )
     
    Although President Truman said the McCarran-Walter Act was discriminatory and originally vetoed this law, there was enough support in Congress for the law to pass.
     
    Sect. 212 begins on page 182 and is titled ‘General Classes Of Aliens Ineligible To Receive Visas And Excluded From Admission’ (i.e. – page 20 of the PDF)
    Sect. 212 (e) begins on page 188 and is titled ‘Suspension of entry by President’ (i.e. – page 26 of the PDF)
     
    Without question, the law of the USA clearly states:
     
    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, he 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 on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
     
    See also: United States Statutes at Large, 1952, Vol. 66, 82nd Cong., p. 163-282 where, the official record states:
     
    In the House of Representatives, U.S. June 26, 1952.
    The House of Representatives having proceeded to reconsider the bill (H. R. 5678) entitled ”An Act to revise the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality; and for other purposes,” returned by the President of the United States with his objections, to the House of Representatives, in which it originated, it was
    Resolved, That the said bill pass, two-thirds of the House of Representatives agreeing to pass the same.
    Attest:
    Ralph R Roberts Clerk.
    I certify that this Act originated in the House of Representatives.
    Ralph R Roberts Clerk.
    In the Senate of the United States, June 27, 1952.
    The Senate having proceeded to reconsider the bill (H. R. 5678) entitled ”An Act to revise the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality; and for other purposes”, returned by the President of the United States with his objections, to the House of Representatives, in which it originated, and passed by the House of Representatives on reconsideration of the same, it was
    Resolved, That the said bill pass, two-thirds of the Senators present having voted in the affirmative.
    Attest:
    Leslie L Biffle Secretary.

    Robert Spencer: pick one: defend our nation or support Jihad, you cannot do both.

    The immigration laws are for a reason, failure to uphold puts our nation at risk or has history not taught you this?

    IN THE 1950’S A LAW WAS MADE GIVING ANY PRESIDENT THE RIGHT TO KEEP OUT PEOPLE FROM ANY NATION THAT PRESENTS A DANGER TO AMERICANS. THAT LAW IS STILL IN EFFECT AND CONSEQUENTLY PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE WHAT IS PERFECTLY CORRECT FOR HIS COUNTRY AND TO PROTECT HIS PEOPLE. HE PICKED THE 7 MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD THAT PRESENT DANGERS TO OTHER NATIONS AND WHAT HE DID WAS “LEGAL”. THAT JUDGE HAD NO RIGHT TO BAN HIS ATTEMPT TO PROTECT OUR NATION. I READ AN ARTICLE THAT SAID THE JIHADISTS HAVE ATTACKED AMERICANS 16 TIMES AND I BELIEVE I READ ANOTHER ARTICLE SAYING THAT OBAMA DID A STUDY AND FOUND THOSE WERE THE SAME 7 COUNTRIES WITH THE MOST DANGERS TO OURS.

    islam is the problem, it’s that simple. The middle east has been, is and will be a violent , chaotic , oppressive disaster till the day Yeshua returns. Wherever islam spreads, it’s evil is spread. Over 1400+ years history of the destruction, death and suffering brought about by islam and it’s misguided followers. Why? Because, they are instructed in the quran , to kill all who will not bow to the evil of islam and to dominate the world. I have studied the history of islam and read the evil of the quran. Today’s “harmless” muslim, is the parent of tomorrows terrorist.
