'President Trump signed an executive order on Friday that purports to bar for at least 90 days almost all permanent immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries, including Syria and Iraq, and asserts the power to extend the ban indefinitely.

But the order is illegal. More than 50 years ago, Congress outlawed such discrimination against immigrants based on national origin.

That decision came after a long and shameful history in this country of barring immigrants based on where they came from. Starting in the late 19th century, laws excluded all Chinese, almost all Japanese, then all Asians in the so-called Asiatic Barred Zone. Finally, in 1924, Congress created a comprehensive “national-origins system,” skewing immigration quotas to benefit Western Europeans and to exclude most Eastern Europeans, almost all Asians, and Africans.'>>>

a good organization to give too.

Since the people gave the Republicans all branches of government, all Democrats can really do is make noise.

will pay big time in 2018. We need massive voter turnout in 2018 so we can take back both the House & Senate. That is the only way we will be able to contain Trump & the Repugs.

We need to get as many Americans as we can to the polls knowing that it is the Repugs that are the culprits. Trump is their useful idiot. And that the Dems will right the wrongs that these people created.

Nydia Velasquez was one and Jerry Nadler was the other. Both were beyond angry.

Now is not the time to keep the powder dry.

Yes, the House and the Senate as legislative bodies can sue, but absent a democratic majority, I don't see that occurring.

I don't think individual members have the standing to sue on behalf of congress.

...and for someone to be harmed by it in order to go to court, since it did not involve an actual law passed/signed by Trump. (Unlike that idiotic Texas aborted tissue funeral law, for example, where it was challenged in federal court shortly after it was signed into law.)

From what I read, the EO didn't even provide much in specifics for the TSA; they apparently stopped green card holders from returning home to the U.S. because they weren't explicitly told which categories of travelers they were supposed to stop. (Now, of course, the trumpsters decided that they should be stopped.)
