The US Supreme Court has partially lifted an injunction against President Donald Trump's travel ban.
The Supreme Court said in Monday's ruling: "In practical terms, this means that [the executive order] may not be enforced against foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.
"All other foreign nationals are subject to the provisions of [the executive order]."
Mark this down as a win for Donald Trump. The path to entry into the US for immigrants and refugees from the affected nations, if they don't have existing ties to the US - either through family, schools or employment - just became considerably harder.
The decision marks a reaffirmation of the sweeping powers the president has traditionally been granted by the courts in areas of national security. There was fear in some quarters that the administration's ham-fisted implementation of its immigration policy could do lasting damage to the president's prerogatives. That appears not to be the case.

This is part of the problem: Pew Poll: 42% of Muslim Youth in France ALWAYS Support Suicide ... [thegatewaypundit.com] The problem is that terrorism is just a indicator on top of the iceberg. There is essentially a lot of problems with Muslims and no significant upside. Too many mosques and "schools" works as a tools for indoctrination that will only end with armed conflict.
(warning for a really bloody picture from the massacre at the Bataclan concert hall in 2015)
Only a few loonies commit terrorism now. But they increase as a percentage over time and they above all have passive and active support in their own communities. Besides there's no reason to permit them into the country.

They live on fear of being labeled -ist, if they step out of their bubble their minds will shrivel up.
