Federal Judge James Robart ruled against government lawyers, who said USA states didn’t have the standing to challenge Trump’s order.

It was unwise of May to rush to embroil her queen in political controversy by inviting Trump to a state visit in his first days in office.
But this order is actually doing more to undermine US security.
Whether the Trump administration is considering any of these options is anyone’s guess.
“The beauty of America is that everybody is involved but that’s the piece that Donald Trump is missing, he just wants to do things his way”.
Trump has awakened the light sleeper of anti-Americanism overseas, weakening alliances on which Washington depends for peace and security. While the entry ban might be good domestic politics for Trump, it defies the time-tested logic of strategy.
British Prime Minister Theresa May refuses to condemn an order by US President Donald Trump suspending refugee arrivals, saying Washington was responsible for its own refugee policy.
For individuals from the seven banned countries who may have run into trouble with the law, and who may not yet have United States citizenship, Uy advised: “You should also not leave the country if you have any sort of criminal record, or criminal charges pending, or an arrest”, he said.
It is very unfortunate that none of the rulers of Muslim countries except Iran has said a single word against the ban.
We hope president Donald Trump can cultivate the humility and humanity needed to govern.
President Trump has a “dark vision” of America under siege from radical Islam, says the New York Times – and that vision is now radically reshaping the policies of the United States.
The Reuters/Ispos poll, which was conducted online on January 30-31, surveyed 1,201 people from all 50 states, including 453 Democrats and 478 Republicans. During the same period, a Huffington Post/YouGov poll was conducted. It’s also a stark reminder of why banning immigration from certain places, even temporarily, is so disconcerting. And that petitions are being signed all over the world against the heartlessness of the travel ban.
Defending his recent executive order on immigration, President Donald Trump on Thursday said that “there are people who seek to enter the country for the objective of spreading violence” or “oppressing other people based upon their faith”.
His attack on immigrants is supposedly to protect Americans from terrorism, yet numerous countries targeted were the birthplaces of exactly zero terrorists who attacked America. We have friends who are afraid to speak Spanish and Persian in public, the former for fear they will be targeted as “illegals” and the latter for fear that they will be targeted as terrorists. Forty-one percent disapproved. Trump is using national security as a guise for bigotry and doesn’t strengthen our national security at all.
“President Trump’s executive order does not ensure “. the safety and security of the American people”. Interestingly, it is believed that people are more likely to be honest about their opinion in online polls, as they don’t feel like they are talking to a person. It took George W. Bush five years for his approval rating to drop below 45 percent. They have contributed immensely with their sweat and blood in making America great, which is a paradoxical reminder of Donald Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”. But, some polls like the CBS News Poll reveals Trump has hit a record low in terms of approval ratings. Now he is obsessed with banning those people from re-entering the United States who he thinks pose a serious danger to society. This poll is diametrically opposite to the other online polls.

His ban, meanwhile, covers many people who have already waited over a year, gone through background checks and been approved for immigration or refugee status. Judge Ann Donnelly of NY wrote in an emergency ruling that there is a “strong likelihood” that the removal of the Iraqis and other green card-holding residents “violates their rights to Due Process and Equal Protection guaranteed by the United States Constitution”. The Rasmussen poll found a much higher approval rating for the president.
