What is your opinion on the new restricted immigration policies?

I don't see where any of the restrictions involve CITIZENS LIBERTIES. The security measures involve, as I have read, restricting the movement of NON CITIZENS, entering our country illegally and the appropriate vetting of the same groups prior to their entry into our country. The same rules for immigrants becoming citizens still apply, no new federal statutes have been passed, only current ones being enforced. I do not see how any of my liberties or freedoms have been restricted. If anything, personal freedoms of movement were more restricted immediately after 9/11 with the "patriot act", the creation of TSA and the broad strokes that were allowed to the newly formed department of Homeland Security.

Excellent. I'm very concerned by the video and reports coming out of Europe as to the effect the Mideast predominately Muslim refugees are having on Belgium, France, Germany and Britain. I think refugee accommodations in their own countries, or neighboring countries is much more sensible. They don't want to assimilate into our culture or accept our values and abide by our laws and. Constitution. It's a mistake to bring them here.

Legal immigration is the standard. Follow other countries lead on illegal immigration (like Mexico). Unfortunately, in a lot of cases we are dependent on illegals (agriculture) to do jobs no else will do.

A few notes on this issue: President Trump just fired the Acting Attorney General for failure to enforce existing immigration law. Also: "A President of the United States" - any President, has the constitutional right to dictate who does and does not come into the United States. Please, do a little homework.

You can't just come into a country unfettered. There has to be some control for security reasons among other things. In this case, It was probably mishandled and could have been done differently. If you let people just walk in the door unfettered, you are in essesence jeopardizing the security and in my opinion, could be considered Treason.

He is not the first president to restrict immigration, he is just the first one to suffer such severe and public criticism over the decision to implement his plan.

Rightly blocked by at least two federal courts with stay placed on DHS.

So sad about our administration's shameful and unconstitutional actions.

So proud of the fast response by the ACLU and our federal courts in at least temporarily stopping the insanity, and to the clear heads at DHS for choosing to obey the courts instead of the idiotic and illegal Executive Order.

I don't understand why there is such an open (mis)interpretation of the law - BY LAW MAKERS and some citizens - regarding immigration. If you ask "may I come to live in your country (state, city, rental property)?" there is a process you must follow, including registration of yourself and all family members, agreement to abide by standing regulations and ability to pay for most services. If you were to enter most other countries illegally, request free services, subsistence and a job, would this be immediately granted? Even legal immigrants to most other countries (I say "most", as there has been an emerging global governmental liberalism are subject to the 'Law of the Land'. Bona fide refugees should be granted protection from tyranny, but also know that they will be required to prepare for and accept citizenship or return to their place of origin.

Enforce the laws--we are a nation of immigrants and laws.
