1. The US Supreme Court has upheld a ban by President Donal
Trump to the US from seven countries
Pros Cons
 The President directed the
suspension of admission of
certain persons from specific
countries was limited to a 90-day
period to allow government
agencies to ensure their vetting
& approval processes are
thorough and complete.
 The ban completely suspends
the United States' Syrian
refugee program due to the
ongoing conflict and the inability
to vet persons from that nation.
 It is not a ban based on religion
alone. Muslims who are living in
other countries may still be
admitted under the statutes and
regulations prior to the ban.
 It does not bar “Green card
holders” from re-entering the
U.S. and exempts certain visa
categories like diplomatic visa
holders and medical treatment
visas.
 It reduces the cap on the total
number of refugees allowed to
enter the US in 2017 from
110,000 to just 50,000.
 Foreign citizens wishing to
immigrate to the U.S. have
no substantive due
process rights to enter the U.S.
nor is there any explicit or
implied “right” to immigrate.
 We are a nation of immigrants
and choking off immigration is
wrong.
 It’s unconstitutional for the
President to halt immigration.
 The President has exceeded his
authority.
 The ban violates the Immigration
and Nationality Act of
1965 which prohibits
discrimination against
immigrants on the basis of
national origin.
 It’s violates of separation of
powers because Congress
makes immigration law.
 It’s evidence that Trump is a
racist, xenophobic, fascist bully.
