From the what-separation-of-powers department:

The Department of Homeland Security has an update on the entry ban:

The Department of Homeland Security will continue to enforce all of President Trump's Executive Orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people. President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place—prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety. President Trump's Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security.

The NY Post adds:

The ACLU is getting "multiple reports" that federal customs agents are siding with President Trump — and willfully ignoring a Brooklyn federal judge's demand that travelers from seven Muslim countries not be deported from the nation's airports.

    I happen to be a LAWYER while you are not; so don't try to teach your grandma how to suck an egg.

    You are confusing a VISA which is issued to a student, tourist or other aliens for temporary admission to the U.S. with a ‘green card’ which is issued to a person granting them a right to reside permanently in the U.S.

    Most VISA holders are forbidden from working in the U.S., for example, while residents can and mostly do have a job or own a business, probably have bought a home and other stuff.

    So don’t read any law, read the applicable law. (You seem so sure, so go on a dig a bit more.)

    No, Mr. LAWYER, I was not. I said nothing about status whatsoever. Any alien of any status falls under that law unless you can point out somewhere else, because the quoted law does not, that says otherwise.

      I just replied to another doofus, so go read that comment where I do quote the law, but since you too are lazy and feel entitled to an opinion in a field where you have no experience, I will leave you the task of looking up the appropriate law.

      What would you say to someone who knew nothing about something but decides to give you an argument? I quote from your own journal: “Most days it's fun smacking down the willfully ignorant but sometimes outside forces conspire to make me too tired to bother.”

      So I'll go pop me another beer and ignore you...

        Darlin, I can read code. Laws are easy. Cite your argument or STFU.

    Are you also an Attorney?
    Anybody can be a Lawyer, being an Attorney is a little bit more involved.
