Apple, Google, Facebook join 94 others in legal brief against Trump's immigration

[Ranger1st]

Why do writers keep circulating this blatant lie? This write should be fired. THERE IS NO IMMIGRATION BAN.

You are absolutely correct. There is no 'ban' in Alberta - or in all of Canada.

There should be. We already have Muslim on Canadian violence and like the US, it is squelched and swept under the carpet at the regional level by the commands and dictum's of the feds and provincial politicos. We need trump up here. Not the Marxist pantywaist we have now

Never fails. The grammar policeman falls on his own sword immediately:

Mmm that's odd, I try to read again before posting yet it definitely fails lol

That's the thing, it's a hit and miss because it appeals to something that Trump is not, yet it's seen kind of.

a coma goes a long way, yet I don't remember how it was supposed to finish... lol

Crap, I don't know about the rest of you, but I was so hoping this immigration ban would get M$'s new CEO deported, along with Elon Musk.....Most people can live without Windows 10, and god knows when people might actually get an affordable Tesla anyway.

The proper stance on this from the sell side is to keep your mouth shut if you are against the measures. Taking a public stance like this plays to the minority of people in this country who are either foreigners or progressives, but opens you up to have the whole thing thrown right back in your face the next time is a terrorist attack, because now, we've got it in writing that you opposed action that may have prevented said attack.* It's placing short-term gains ahead of long-term risks.

In any event, this is heading to the SCOTUS, where the advantage goes to Trump. One would hope they uphold the temporary ban and that Trump follows up with a more comprehensive approach a few months down the road. Specifically, one that establishes bans on known terrorism sponsors like the current ban does, but also establishes quotas from different regions that will have the effect of halting or reversing current demographic trends.

*Perception is what matters here, not "reality."

Why do you think the advantage goes to Trump at the SCOTUS? It might if Ruth Bader Ginsburg actually moved to New Zealand as she threatened if Trump was elected. Most of the SCOTUS probably hates Trump and can't wait to deal him a defeat -- whether the law supports him or not.

Because his SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch tips the balance in his favor. The conservative judges, and especially ones as loathed by the left as Gorsuch, don't generally engage in the type of judicial activism that the Democrat judge from Boston did in banning the ban. Whether they like Trump is immaterial because they tend to place the law above their personal feelings. In this case, foreigners have no right to entry into the United States, visa or otherwise. It's a privilege that can be revoked. When this gets tossed to the Conservative SCOTUS judges it's got much better odds of standing up on this basis than it does with the liberal Democrat judges who have called foul.

The type of petty judicial activism you are talking about is a signature move of Democrats, who do not hold a majority.

Do we really rely on the refugee technical talent from those 7 countries? It reads more like we want to hire desperate refugees than say we can not hire locally.

You might want to take a look at the state department web site at exactly what is done during the vetting process. It is very similar to the process for granting top security clearances.

No background, credit, history checks in most cases for refugees. Also really hard to get further authentic gov docs for identity.

I had a coworker that was using a photocopier to change her birthdate. Lol, so she had two bdate a year.

It is probably 'rocket science' to those people opposed to Trump, but the basics are how many of the people in opposition are willing to fund the livelihood of the 'refugees', money, food, rent etc;
How many of the people in opposition are willing to provide free accommodation to the 'refugees' or let the refugees reside in the opposition peoples' own homes.
How many of the people in opposition are willing to give them regular work and pay them equal USA wages.
How many of the people in opposition are willing to live among them, teach them English, drive them to job interviews when many Americans are unemployed as USA manufacturing is disappearing to Asian countries.
All those against Trump with non-supporting comments are merely paying 'lip-service' to this negative article and other similar, trouble-stirring articles.

You make a cute comment, but it's obvious you have no idea what this process if about and I seriously doubt your claim about your friend because once she was caught, she would be arrested and charged for committing a first class felony. Your quote is directly off the talk shows and shows no knowledge of the system or it's practice.

 

[Makson]

Number 1 she has to be caught, number 2 charged, number 3 gets a smart lawyer of her own race, number 4 'maybe' goes to court, number 5 is political correctness in place, number 6 she is not a citizen and unaware of the laws, number 7 I bet she is reprimanded and walks free.

One instance of many in Australia of lawbreaker refugees. A young man kidnaps a child, is caught, goes to court, reprimanded only, no punishment because he was new to the country and didn't know that what he did was illegal.

She never said she was caught by the gov, but we do celebrate both of her birthdays at work.

Your response is interesting since my daughter was asking last night, if she would have issues getting top secret clearance even though she has relatives from non democratic (like dprk) countries.

But you wouldn't believe that either...
