I highlighted it all. It took several minutes to post after freezing...must have hit a cut/paste size limit. Looked it all over and still don't see 212(f) as it is posted here.
I tend to ignore posts that are categorically false. That's not at all what the referenced section says. I didn't find anywhere else that said such a thing either. Check it yourself, though: https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/act.html
Though I would appreciate not being called a liar and being accused of making things up when I'm neither lying nor making things up.
jbombelli;
I was wrong, and I apologize. You did quote the text correctly.
The citation was difficult to follow, and making up paragraphs and citing them as law is a tactic of trolls. I'm also sorry that I assumed that of you.
A lot of FNC anchors cannot stand the president. Like some of our own INGO nevertrumpers, they push their narative to the point of siding with the enemy.
They want to eliminate the Second Amendment, so there would be no means of America fighting back a tyrannical government. Why would you refer to them as anything else?
This is why politics is broken in the US.
The dem platform has become totally anti-2A. Dems ARE the enemy of gun owners. It's that simple. Back the dems, you are backing the enemy.
There are plenty of reasons that the dems are the enemy to conservatives. All are secondary to the Second Amendment fight.
Without the 2A, the rest of the constitution does not matter. I'm sure this is not the first time you folks have heard that...
..I am saying that this if you're not with us you're against us mentality that's become so common is bad, because neither major party respects the liberty of the people.
Pretty simple for those of us who put the 2A first and understand it's importance.
He’ll be challenged in court. Likely it’ll be filed in the 9th. Of course they’ll agree. It’ll go to the SCOTUS. If they take the case they’ll decide, probably along partisan lines.OK, back on topic.
Trump's E.O. claims the power to shut down asylum in a way not prescribed by Congress. That's him dictating new law. That's the behavior that is unacceptable. The Immigration and Naturalization Act does clearly allow him to close the border. But that's only half of what he's tried to do. The other half is still him way overstepping his authority.
His argument that most asylum seekers are eventually denied is not convincing; most asylum seekers haven't had their government recently overthrown in a coup backed by the US Secretary of State. (Actually, I probably need to look up statistics before feeling good about that claim...)

With our current "conservative" president, the rest of the Constitution doesn't matter, either.
I'm not defending any Democrats. I am saying that this if you're not with us you're against us mentality that's become so common is bad, because neither major party respects the liberty of the people.

I understand the importance of the second amendment. I don't trust any politician to actually put any civil liberties ahead of their own power.
And on this issue, Trump is just like all the other politicians.
I am kinda curious why the quibbling about that EO versus the one about confiscating legally purchased firearms/accessories?
If we are talking about "enemies" of the Second Amendment, why are we going to ignore that one?

Wait what? Dems are enemies of conservatives? That's some pretty dangerous rhetoric you're pushing there. Less even keeled people have used such to commit all types of crimes to defend themselves from their perceived "enemies."
I don't think anyone wants to commit crimes. Well, maybe a few fringes do, but that's what people on the fringe do. The Democratic party needs to be torn down and rebuilt into a viable alternative to the excesses of the Republican party. Probably nothing we can do will end the two-party system short of constitutional amendments to change how we vote. So the only way a two party system is viable is to have each party be an opposition to the excesses of the other. Right now the most dangerous party is the Democrats. They've been taken over by really crazy people who want to tear down what makes our society both functional and mostly free. They were just annoying when they were powerless. But now they're gaining positions of power. And they're threatening things like free speech and other individual rights.
I disagree the most dangerous party is the democrats? Well, I guess in the technical sense since the GOP doesn't really exist anymore, you're right. However, whatever that conglomerate of sycophants that follow the president are, I'd call them the most dangerous.... mainly because they're getting more and more desperate? Evidenced by what they are will to turn a blind eye to, and shrug their shoulders. It's a clock that's ticking, and with each tick the numbers fall more in line with liberal policies.... even the loony ones, than conservative. Ultimately, if the conservatives continue on this path, liberals with continue to maintain their inflexibility, and eventually, when they win out, and they WILL "win out," we will all suffer for it.

I think it's more because they (conservatives) are/were tired of having a blind eye turned toward them, or worse, being accused of being racists, mysogynists, nazis or worse simply because they want to see the constitution followed as written, they don't believe in 53 different "genders", and are tired of being portrayed as ignorant hicks by the coastal elites. You can only kick a dog for so long before he turns around and bites you. THAT is how we wound up with Trump in office.
I don't disagree with your assessment. However, I think the Trump "pushback," has largely backfired. It backfired to such a degree that those that are tolerant on the left, have joined forces with the intolerant left.... because they see Trump as the right's acceptance of intolerance.
Nowadays, people just buy into Trump, because he's a vocal anti-left voice. The things used to make GOP attractive, at least me, was an fairly solid commitment to sanity. That's gone now.
The president let rain stop him from visiting the WWI cemetery in France. He ******* skipped Veterans Day, because he was "busy"! He took Thanksgiving, to called troops and push political messages. The guys has been in office TWO years, and hasn't visited a war zone.... and people still cling to the belief that he's "pro-military." That's delusional.
But I digress, as long as Trump continues to enjoy the support he does, even in his bad actions, the longer the left will oppose him.
