There is a legal basis behind Trump's Immigration Executive Order.

The executive order signed on January 27, 2017, designed to temporarily ban refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim states was struck down by a Federal judge in Washington because it was apparently “discriminatory,” and it did not pass the Constitutional muster. The decision clearly has no legal precedent, and the judgment made was purely based on personal opinion. According to the 8 U.S. Code 1182, the President has the power to suspend entries of aliens in order to protect and preserve the interests of American citizens. This executive power still lies within the confinements of the Constitution, and it is clear that this executive order is not illegal. It’s disappointing to see justices who are supposed to interpret the law succumb to their personal agendas and biases in order to undermine the president.

The second executive order signed on March 6, 2017, temporarily bans citizens from six countries, and it was a compromised version of the first executive order.

This order was again struck down by a Federal judge in Hawaii, who, by the way, is thought to have been in contact with Obama. This is a clear intention to undermine the president’s legal authority. If the White House decides to fight this case, and it is brought before the Supreme Court, it would appear that the legality of the executive order would easily be upheld, if the liberal justices on the bench would decide to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. The President must be able to make executive decisions to protect the collective interest of the nation based on the provided intelligence in which these Federal judges have no access to.

The left uses protests, mass media, and information manipulation to mobilize movements to undermine the president regardless of whether it is actually legal or illegal. They also spread lies and create division by calling it a Muslim ban. For the record, it is not a Muslim ban, if it was a Muslim ban, why then, are Muslims from other nations still being admitted into the United States? I don’t think it is a legal question so much as it is a political struggle. I think the White House needs to work with Congress in getting a comprehensive bill passed that would actually find a solution to the issue. The temporary ban was like a bandage on a wound; we need more than that to fix the immigration problem.
