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.

If this isn't the most GENERIC response to open borders I don't know what is. *I* haven't been stabbed. *I* haven't been robbed. *I* haven't experienced anything bad, *I* don't know who these people are who have. *I'm* so progressive, read my social media, I'm a beacon of light and tolerance.
And for those of us that can see beyond the tip of our nose and read news from across the ocean we see a pattern. A pattern that every single country, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, that has accepted the flood has had a rise in violent crime and "brutal" rapes. Sweden, the "most tolerant", is the rape capital of Europe and very high on the world's list. Sweden is set to be a 3rd world country by 2030. Fucking Sweden! Germany has such a rape epidemic that they no longer write down the ethnicity of the attacker because it's "racist" (imagine how many are caught then). The guy who had the "sexual emergency" and raped the child, and the blew my brain out the back of my head when I read this, the supreme court overturned the conviction saying the child could have "consented" (seriously look this one up for yourself).
The issue isn't just the refugees themselves (more accurately economic migrants according to UN laws), it's all the apologists like you. Giving them a pass to assault/steal/rape as it's their "culture" and allowing their "religion" in our schools after we finally got christianity out.
Keep watching your comedy-news and pretend you have a clue what's going on in the world.

What? How can you say this?
I thought it was consensual! Did you not want me all up in you? Well, you certainly should have said something! And now you are using our love to plaster a whole group of people fleeing for their lives from certain death? Well, you are certainly not who you presented yourself as when you first tried to seduce me! If I had known you were an alt-right skinhead, I never would have fucked you. So consider that taken back.

I have been attacked with a knife in my own neighborhood.
I have. At knife and gunpoint.
See above.
I know plenty.
Who isn't? Without progress, you have stagnation.
I don't do social media.
It's called "Don't bother me and I won't bother you."
First you come at me with this weak generic attack calling me generic while completely missing all of your marks (major fail). Now you're telling me you see patterns. Please.
