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.

Boy did you fuck up.
I was born in 1950. Some things were still rationed (after WWII y'know) when I was 18. I got into computers when I was 18 too by building my own from a stack of parts - not populated boards, parts. Pointing out my youth - fail. Pointing out my lack of experience - fail. With judgement like you have shown, I do not expect sense from you, "kiddo".
I love your straw men but they only make you look like and idiot. Really, my experience tells me that is not a good idea. It is like jumping to conclusions. Oh, I am sorry, you did that too, didn't you. Whatever you think about me you have proven yourself to be an idiot. I am going to show this two my three successful kids. They will be entertained.
If you think I post for mod points then that is probably what you do. I couldn't give a stuff. But it is one more nail in _your_ coffin.
If I was that fixated with Hubbard I would have got it right, no? (more fail for you). I do tend to get that wrong because or the nickname he got after that Caribbean disaster. But you are probably too young to remember that (or were not in the SF community)
Sorry, sonny Jim, but everything in your post is a cock-up.

It ought then be telling that, sight unseen, you argue, write, and think like a pimply 13-yr old. (But then, it is said that in dotage a man does return to childlike simplicity.) Next you're going to tell us that the sun is really a butterscotch lollipop, and when the rest of us say that's an absurd premise, you'll respond with more blather.
To sum up, your thesis was that America doesn't know how to manufacture anything, and returning manufacturing jobs to America is pointless. My response was, that's a silly statement because superpowers don't become superpowers by not knowing how to make anything, and that bringing some jobs back to the American middle class is better than no jobs. I am no jingoist and there is a lot of complexity on the subject to sort through, but when someone leads with a premise that is so flat out wrong, prima facie, it does no good for anyone to pretend otherwise.
Or, maybe you're a special snowflake who melts when people respond with vigor to what you say.
Washington DC delenda est.

Grow up and learn to read.
Look up the terms 'ad hominem' and 'straw man'.
You are spouting vitriol for no reason.
