So much winning. The Hill newspaper reports,
President Trump on Wednesday signed a proclamation banning travel into the United States for individuals from a dozen countries, citing national security concerns.
The proclamation, which echoes a travel ban Trump instituted in his first term, fully restricts the entry of nationals from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
It also partially restricts entry into the U.S. for nationals coming from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
So, are we back to calling it “Burma,” again? And, are we sure that’s the correct Congo?
I wasn’t asked, but there were a few more countries that I would have added.
You already knew, just from the headline, that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minneapolis) wouldn’t like this. Posted at 8:55 (CDT),
This discriminatory policy is beyond shameful. Just like his first Muslim Ban, this latest announcement flies in the face of basic morality and goes directly against our values. This racist policy will not make us safe, it will separate families and endanger lives. We cannot let it stand.
So much winning.
As to the substantive point, it’s becoming ever clearer that a sizable number of Democrats (most? all?) genuinely believe that every single person on earth has a U.S. Constitutional right to come to America and to live here at U.S. taxpayer expense, permanently.
Democrats believe that deportations are never appropriate, legal, constitutional, moral, etc. under any circumstance.
