The original post question didn't ask if Trump's actions were good and beneficial. It asked if they were legal. I replied that they were legal and gave supporting reasons why they are legal. I never said that they were "good".
If my username was "Chicken Little" it wouldn't mean that I'm a chicken and little.
BTW, not one person who has been yapping about this has cited any specific law that prohibits Trump's action. Why don't you work on that for a few minutes?
Bold is mine.
A law passed by the US Congress in 1965 and upheld by the courts thereafter states: no person could be “discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person’s race, sex, nationality, place of birth or place of residence.”
Richard Nixon once said "if the president does it, it's not illegal." And we all know how that story ended.
