Once we get Gorsuch on the USSC can Trump do an EO to simply stop taking refugees in to this country completely?

No. Any action undertaken which harms liberal sensibilities is ruled unconstitutional.

No, if you didn't get the memo everyone in the entire world is entitled to avail themselves of rights granted to US citizens in the US.

I say we take them. Take them and make it illegal for them to live anywhere but Cali, Oregon, and Washington.

But Jesus was a refugee and it's Christian to help our innocent and scared brothers and sisters

Of course. There is no law that says we have to participate in any refugee program.

New ones for sure. He could do that today would even stand up in court.

He should have already had a new EO written up last night to ban all incoming outsiders.

He just fricked this up. I blame him and Sessions and the rest of the cabinet.

No excuse.

What Trump needs to do is sign a new executive order that doesn't "ban" shite, but just requires the kind of "extreme vetting" and other red tape that takes months or years and bury those frickers in paperwork so it works like a pocket veto, and have the ultimate decision be in the discretion of someone he trusts.

Doubt it, but Trump can use this as leverage with the sanctuary cities. Take the terrorist, care for them and enjoy.

An EO to end all refugee programs would be within the president's power. The reason the current EO is having problems is because it went way beyond ending refugee programs (it affected people who have already been issued visas for non-refugee purposes, and was also interpreted at times to apply to green card holders).

That would not be smart at all. They can go anywhere in this country they want.

That's a terrible idea. You're going to stop ALL non-citizens from entering the US? Do you have any idea what that would do to businesses? Could foreign leaders or diplomats still enter the country? What about Canadians?

That would be an incredible far-reaching and disruptive order, and it would also get stopped by a court within days because of the massive affect it would have on American citizens and businesses.

I made a comment similar to this yesterday. My thought was, does this even require an EO? State Department is in charge of their own policies and implementation. Why couldn't they just do this in house?

There are choices made daily by State regarding immigration and refugees. Obviously everyone can't come so SOMEONE is being told no.

If State says they can't properly vet anyone from Syria, how could that be challenged? How is the court qualified to decide what entails proper vetting?

Australia can ban them all.

Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait can.

What if I told you that the current refugee screening process already takes up to 2 years?

Is it within Trumps power to ban ALL immigration?

Just stop everything until we come up with a plan to vet any new applicants.

If that does not work then we should setup a secure place in the middle of nowhere for them. Like in the middle of Arizona or some other place with nothing for miles. We probably have a few abandoned military bases that would work.
