Reasons to Oppose the Travel Ban

While liberals around the country were busy complaining about President Trump’s travel ban that sought to stop the onslaught of outrageous aggression, the liberals in California made their own travel ban against religious expression. According to a new California law, public universities are no longer allowed to send students to states that oppose gay rights. Students that have prepared for months to make presentations of their research have been told to cancel their plans. Athletes have been told not to expect any games with rivaling teams from states like Tennessee, Kansas, or North Carolina. The logic is that California doesn’t want taxpayer dollars going to states that hold conservative, pro-family principles.

White House Cracks Down on Illegal Immigration

Illegal aliens who pose a risk to others or to the security of our nation should be deported immediately without awaiting formal criminal charges or convictions. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly’s new policy sensibly authorizes government officials to make such determinations.

New Deportation Policies Advance Trump’s Agenda

John F. Kelly, the new Secretary of Homeland Security, officially launched Donald Trump’s immigration agenda with a pair of memos in February. These documents demonstrated that the Trump Administration is absolutely serious in halting illegal immigration. Contrary to the liberal hysteria sparked by these memos, they outline in measured tone the sensible steps to be taken to deport illegal aliens who are dangerous to our citizenry. The era of “big immigration” is officially over.

Judges Join the ‘Resistance’

Resistance has become the rallying cry for those who failed to defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box last year. The well-funded Center for American Progress, which employs much of Hillary Clinton’s failed campaign, said it hoped to be “the central hub of the Trump resistance.”

Judicial Supremacy Threatens Trump’s Agenda

A decade ago Phyllis Schlafly published her book entitled “The Supremacists,” which sounded the alarm bells about how the federal judiciary has elevated itself above the other two branches of government. This is the opposite of what the Founders intended, when they created the federal courts to be the “least dangerous” part of the federal government.

On February 3, a single federal judge sitting in Seattle, Washington, blocked a common-sense immigration order by the newly elected President Trump as he attempted to protect our Nation against migration from countries associated with terrorism. Those nations were Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. This solitary federal judge issued a sweeping temporary restraining order (TRO) that tied Trump’s hands nationwide and prevented him from implementing his mandate from the American people to protect us.

In contrast with ability of a CEO of a private business to implement his agenda, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, is finding that activist courts will block much of what he tries to accomplish.

President Trump’s immigration order was being enforced by the temporary Attorney General he installed in D.C., after the prior one had refused to enforce Trump’s order. Upwards of 60,000 visas were being revoked from those nations. But those visas were then abruptly restored against the will of the Trump administration.

Federal judges hold unelected, lifetime positions and can only be removed through impeachment by Congress, which has never happened based on judicial rulings. The underused method for reining in an overreaching judiciary is for Congress to withdraw its jurisdiction, or for the president to decline to enforce its orders. Some of the temporary restraining orders may be reversed or curtailed on appeal or in subsequent rulings. But liberals bring multiple lawsuits on issues like these until they win and it is affirmed.

Several prior presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln, stood up against federal courts when they grabbed power beyond their rightful role under the Constitution. The checks and balances in our Constitution should flow both directions.

Americans Support Smart Immigration Policies

It should be obvious that we need to pause the admission of refugees and others from known terror havens, and Donald Trump was elected on a promise to institute a temporary ban followed by “extreme vetting” of future visitors. The America people are entitled to get what we voted for.

Taxpayer Funding Supports “Women’s March”

Abortion and trans-gender rhetoric was repeatedly celebrated at the supposed “Women’s March” on Washington in January. Most speakers at this event, which was co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood, used the misleading phrase “reproductive rights,” although one speaker, Kierra Johnson, did say “I am unapologetically abortion positive.”

Senate Democrats Stonewall New Immigration Policies

In January, as Donald Trump signed his executive order to pause immigration from seven countries, thousands of apparently-organized protesters disrupted airports and delayed travelers around the country, while ACLU lawyers rushed papers before Obama-appointed judges. More Americans were inconvenienced by the protesters than the handful of foreign visitors who were briefly detained by U.S. customs.

Trump Ejects Obama Holdover

On Donald Trump’s seventh day as President, he signed executive orders that carried out his pledge to temporarily restrict travel from Muslim terrorist nations, including Syria and Somalia, until we come up with a better way to identify those who would do us harm.

A Sanctuary Campus?

In recent months, so-called “sanctuary cities” have been brought to the political forefront. They are cities that refuse to comply with federal immigration laws. San Francisco is one example of a sanctuary city. When city law enforcement refused to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, a young woman named Kate Steinle was killed by an illegal immigrant who was freed. Now, liberal college students want to force their school to adopt sanctuary policies. A student group at Northeastern University called Huskies Organizing With Labor demanded that the school refuse to comply with any new immigration policies that President Trump may introduce.
