Trump v. Hawaii strengthened the president’s authority over immigration and national security matters. Still, the decision remained controversial, as many folks just saw it as a sneaky way for Trump to prevent Muslims from entering the country.

Going to be honest, I think it's a perfectly reasonable power for the president to place travel bans on countries that are considered a threat to national security. I do think congress should make regulations on that power, however, to limit the timeframe for which they stay in effect.

[@Sam-vy8ye]

I think the pandemic was the greatest example of that. During the pandemic many countries placed travel bans on other countries they deemed high risk to stop the spread of COVID.

[@iammrbeat]

Geez, the libertarian in me just cringed reading that

[@A2forty]

hence why travel bans are really stupid and a gross overreach of power

[@gregorypena2330]

I’m fairly sure the ban wasn’t explicitly aimed at Muslims, but rather, at a specific set of countries. It just so happened, however, that these countries targeted in the ban were predominantly Muslim. If it was a Muslim ban, as critics stated, then why were countries such as Indonesia, which has a huge Muslim population - larger than that of many countries in the Middle East - not included in the ban? Having said that, it could be argued that the ban, by being targeted at countries that were overwhelmingly Muslim, did indirectly represent a Muslim ban, but the ban wasn’t a ban on all Muslims or Muslims as a whole, but rather, Muslims from those specific countries listed in the ban. TLDR: It’s a country ban for certain countries, not a ban on Islam or Muslims in general, although by being a country ban, it is effectively a Muslim ban for the Muslim citizens of those countries affected by the ban.

[@cryostatis3018]

But those countries aren't active warzones. People are perfectly fine where they live unless there is extreme circumstances like war, famine, natural disaster, genocide, etc. Mass Migration comes from nations that are in turmoil. Which most of these countries are. Syria- civil war, Iraq- Acitive terrorist orginization, Iran-self explanitory, Yemen- famine and civil war, Libya- Slavery, Civil war, famine.

[@comradebroosk9396]

During the campaign trail, Donald Trump explicitly called for: "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on." This actual ban we got was a compromise, since you'd have to be a nitwit to want all Muslims banned from traveling to the US, but the intent to make it difficult for Muslims to enter the US is clearly there. I have a hard time believing that this was an instance where "it just so happened" that the populations are majority Muslim. It's like with the grandfather clause in the Jim Crow South where to bypass poll taxes and literacy tests, one just had to prove their grandfather could vote. Sure, it's not explicitly denying blacks the right to vote, but considering it unreasonably and so disproportionately harms blacks, you can't say of the grandfather clause "it just so happens" to disenfranchise the black community disproportionately.

Semantics, but the definition you provided for "foreign national" is slightly misleading. The location of the foreign national is technically irrelevant as the term is relativistic. To the United States government, a French citizen is a "foreign national" regardless of whether they are standing in France or any other country. Especially when it comes to laws and regulations in the United States, a Foreign National is simply defined as someone that is not a US citizen or national.

[@iammrbeat]

A normal part of immigration involves conducting a background check, and this will often include asking the home country for certain types of information, namely the potential immigrant's criminal history within that country. But this only really works if the new country can trust the home country's government to reveal an accurate-enough picture of the individual. Just as an example, suppose the Colombian government proritizes prosecution of non-cartel members over prosecution of cartel members. Perhaps the cartel buys off local judges or something, and can thus commit crimes with no record. Then the US has good reason not to trust that a Colombian immigrant with no criminal record isn't going to commit major cartel-related crimes.

You can travel to another western nation instead. The problem isn’t you. It’s the country itself and the unreliable info they have on their people. We don’t know if travelers are tourists, are looking to live here permanently, or if they’re planning on orchestrating a terrorist attack. We can’t risk our lives when the Islamic faith has core beliefs that non-believers (infidels) deserve death or how sacrificing one’s own life to take the lives of non-believers is honorable and will bring great rewards in the afterlife.

To he honest, when I saw on Wikipedia that it was "over ruled", I was like what? K vs US details with the notion that the president or government can detain citizens based on race or religion, if perceived as a threat to the country. Here in Trump vs Hawaii, it deals with the president and government being allowed to prevent foreigners if their nation is deemed a threat or risky for allowing travel from there.

[@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372]

@@greatkentuckian9032 Obviously, the cases themselves will be different but the principle remains the same: The President has been granted the power to restrict a certain demographic's movements in and out of the country if they are deemed to be a threat to national security. The slippery slope that people refer to is the challenge of defining the boundaries of such executive orders? For argument's sake, if Biden was to restrict the travel of ALL Eastern Europeans for the next 5 years within the country due to the ongoing war, would it or not be justified under the pretense of national security? Under Trump v. Hawaii, it could very well be. How many legal hurdles are there to prevent another suspension of Habeas Corpus and their right to due process (for these Eastern Europeans) if it's donde under the pretense of national security?

Trump v Hawaii is pretty significant in how the conservative legal movement viewed nationwide injunctions. Before this case, nationwide injunctions weren't too controversial (or headline-making for that matter) but this case made the right believe that they were disproportionately handicapped by nationwide injunctions and thus started criticizing the concept. Any activist could file a case in a favorable district court and enjoin enforcement everywhere in the country. Of course, this applies as much to conservatives suing over liberal policies on oil regulations and fun control (as examples), but Trump v Hawaii created the perception it mainly helped liberals. There's a similar complex with progressives and SCOTUS's emergency docket, but that's for another video/comment.

If those countries don't have good vetting for their citizens (they didn't), Common Sense would dictate it's not safe to allow anyone who wants to immigrate or just travel to the US just because they want to. It's not even like it's anyone's right to travel to a sovereign country just cuz they want to. Trump's decision was completely justified given the turmoil in those places at the time. Groups like Isis haven't even had their caliphate almost completely eradicated yet. Not to mention all the small Islamic Terror attacks and suicide bombings that were going on across the US and especially Europe at the time that people have inexplicably just forgotten about apparently, even at the time. It's honestly maddening. Trump's order wasn't even out of President given past Administrations and their actions. All Trump did was expand the restrictions and number of countries and expand the already existing list that had been in effect for years. Trump's only major problem was that he wasn't good at messaging, especially the first half of his presidency. Some people don't mind ignoring hyperbolic statements in exchange for action, but it leaves plenty of ammunition for a corrupt media and political establishment to whip their sheep into a frenzy.
