I wonder how many American lives were lost while this made it through the courts.


Supreme Court rules for Trump in challenge to his administration's travel ban
The ruling concerned the third iteration of President Donald Trump's immigration restriction, which was challenged on the grounds that it amounted to a "Muslim ban."
In the 5-4 opinion penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court found that Trump's immigration restriction fell "squarely" within the president's authority.
"The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices," Roberts wrote. "The text says nothing about religion."

"This ruling is also a moment of profound vindication following months of hysterical commentary from the media and Democratic politicians who refuse to do what it takes to secure our border and our country. As long as I am President, I will defend the sovereignty, safety, and security of the American People, and fight for an immigration system that serves the national interests of the United States and its citizens. Our country will always be safe, secure, and protected on my watch."

With the severe headwind he has faced, he continues to work diligently to defend our borders and secure us in the face of global terrorism and invading foreigners.

After Supreme Court Victory, Donald Trump Demands More Wall Funding from Congress

President Donald Trump wasted no time pressing forward on his campaign promise to protect the country’s borders after the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of his travel restriction order from eight foreign countries.

The president met with members of Congress on Tuesday, urging them to boost fund his promised wall on the Southern border.

“We’re discussing today the funding of the wall which we very much need,” Trump said to reporters at the White House. “We started the wall, we’re spending a lot of energy and a lot of time … we’re going to ask for an increase in wall spending so we can finish it quicker.”

Trump said that the wall was crucial to keep “people we don’t want to have” out of the country.

The president spoke with Senate establishment figures like Lisa Murkowski, Lamar Alexander, Richard Shelby, Lindsey Graham, and Susan Collins.

He criticized the current immigration laws as a “hodgepodge” and urged Congress to act quickly to simplify the laws.

“It’s so simple. It’s called, ‘I’m sorry you can’t come in,'” he said, repeating that Republicans believed in “strong borders and no crime.”

Rep Keith Ellison Compares Trump’s ‘Racist, Ugly’ Travel Ban to Dred Scott Decision

26 Jun 2018957
Tuesday on CNN’s “At This Hour,” Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) reacted to the Supreme Court upholding President Donald Trump’s travel ban on several majority Muslim nations.

Ellison compared the decision to Dred Scott v. Sandford, that ruled slaves had no standing to sue in federal court. The Fourteenth Amendment overturned Dred Scott by granting citizenship, regardless of color, to all people born in the United States.

Ellison said, “All I can say is the people who believe in dignity of all people, who believe in freedom of faith, freedom of religion in America, we’re not going to stop fighting. In fact this will enliven us, inspire us to push even further and harder to establish the dignity of all people in this country. We’re not daunted here. We’re going to keep on pressing. It just proves one thing, if you steal and rip off a Supreme Court justice, then you can try to jam any kind of nasty racist ugly policy you can down the throats of the American people.”

He continued, “Let me tell you this, Our country has gone through some ugly days. I mean, the Supreme Court in 1850 said it was okay to own a black person. That’s the Dred Scott decision . That decision hit the dustbin of history, so did Plessy v. Ferguson, so did Korematsu. I’m telling you, discrimination and racism will never win in the end. So we’re just — we’re fired up and pushing forward.”

He added, “It is not within the president’s authority to discrimination on the basis of religion. It simply isn’t. The fact that he slapped a few language — pieces of language on there and threw in a few other countries as an afterthought doesn’t correct the fundamental and original flaw. The president said that in one of the his opening statements. He wanted a complete and total ban on Muslim entry into the country. He reaffirmed that position multiple times. The fact that he comes out with an initial ban and then throws a throws a few countries in there and says it’s about — it does not change the fact that this is his intend, what he wants to do, and the Supreme Court majority ignoring that is simply ignores precedent, ignoring the truth of what the president was trying to do.”

So I was walking through the Mall and saw there was a "Muslim Book Store."

I was wondering what exactly was in a Muslim Book Store, so I went in.

As I was wandering around taking a look, the clerk stopped me and asked if he could help.

I imagine I didn't look like his normal clientele, so I asked, "Do you have a copy of the U. S. Immigration Policy Book regarding Muslims?"

The clerk sneered at me, and then said, "*uck off, get out and stay out."

I said "Yes, that's the one. Do you have it in paperback?"

Would this be the same wall that Mexico was going to pay for?
