Trump: In wake of latest Islamic terror attack,
come on Supremes! we need the travel ban,
by Ann Corcoran 6/4/17
And,
although he didn’t say it (yet?), we should all be urging that Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg recuse herself due to her outrageous and injudicious comments
about Donald Trump during his campaign for the Presidency. After all, the
justices will be deciding a case that hinges almost completely on Trump’s
campaign comments. What about hers!
On Thursday, I am sure you know that
the Trump Justice Department appealed the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals decision
on the temporary so-called travel ban from six Muslim majority countries.
I checked Wrapsnet this morning to
see how many refugees have been admitted since Trump was inaugurated from these
six countries. The total, as of today is 4,554, in just the refugee category
for migration to America.
I want to impress upon readers again
that the 4th Circuit only addressed the ban on travel (for any class of
traveler/ immigrant/refugee) from the six countries shown here at right. The
Maryland case did not address the refugee CEILING and the power of the
President to set it (and change it!).
It was the Hawaii judge (case before
the 9th Circuit) that addressed the overall 120-day refugee moratorium that
would have applied to all countries and all ethnic and religious groups as well
as addressing the reduction in the overall CEILING for FY17 from Obama’s dream
number (110,000) to 50,000.
The 9th Circuit has not yet (as of
this writing) handed down its decision. It has been my contention all along
that the President did not need the EO to reset the CEILING on refugee
admissions or to halt the entire program for 120 days, and I expect an honest 9th Circuit to
throw out that portion of the Hawaii judge’s decision.
The DOJ’s appeal of the 4th Circuit
decision to the Supreme Court is being expedited. See reports here, here and here
Travel ban will not rid
us of Islamic terrorists already here.
(Remember, former FBI director Comey, in his last testimony to Congress
said there are 300 US refugees being watched by the FBI!)
There are calls for Justice Ginsburg
to recuse herself from Trump travel ban case because her animus toward the
President has been so evident.
In my opinion there is an inordinate
amount of emphasis being placed on temporary
slowdowns on entry to the US and not enough on pressuring the US
Muslim ‘leadership’ to get their people, who live here already, under control
because in fact, many terror attacks and thwarted terror attacks (and those
extremists being watched) here involve second generation Muslim
immigrants/refugees who were radicalized in their homes and mosques on US soil!
Maybe, a halt to Muslim immigration
and refugee admissions could serve as an impetus for them to get their house in
order! It is worth trying to find out! I’m not holding my breath that the
Muslim ‘community’ will reform itself. But, by limiting Presidential power
which a ruling against Trump will do, there will be even greater long-term
ramifications for keeping the country safe for decades to come (no matter who
is President).
Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg should not hear the case!
There is an excellent legal argument here (read
it!) suggesting that she is so biased
against Donald Trump that she should recuse herself from the case. Really
the heart of the 4th Circuit case is whether Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric
can be used to dismiss an important policy decision. So, she shouldn’t be able
to sit in judgement of campaign statements and be looking in to his heart!
We admitted 4,554 refugees from the six countries
the Trump Administration (and before it the Obama Administration) recognized as
terror-producing countries.
However, I submit that it was a huge
mistake to leave out Afghanistan, Burma (Rohingya), Eritrea, Ethiopia,
Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Iraq, and possibly others! By the way, there are many
other immigration/visa programs admitting entry from these countries besides
the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program.
These are the refugee numbers from
the six known terror breeding grounds since January 20th up to today:
Iran (808) I didn’t check today, but
most Iranians we take are not Muslims
Libya (0)
Somalia (1,668)
Sudan (425)
Syria (1,637)
Yemen (16)
