Well I'll be.

It's since been superseded by a 1965 act.

What's with all the hangups on "missing work" on the fucking weekends already?

[Razgovory]

If your sister wants to do more about the homeless, by all means, lets get some laws going.  I propose making it easier to get Medicaid for the mentally ill.

Considering the #1 threat to American children remain their parents, your family members really need to stop, Syt.  Or at least remind them.  Or at least get their kids some clear heels already.

Hey, at least she's taking interest in the less fortunate.

I couldn't see anything in this article that suggests the prez no longer has the power 8 US 1182.

Same.

8 U.S.C. § 1182 is a statute that's a part of the immigration and nationality act. (8 USC § 1152 is also part of that act). section 1182(f) is what obama, bush, etc. used to justify legally similar executive orders

Same.

Except as specifically provided in paragraph (2) and in sections 1101(a)(27), 1151(b)(2)(A)(i), and 1153 of this title, no person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person's race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence.

Well I cannot wait to hear the aggressive anti-homeless program they want to unveil.

Anyway we have nothing but space. We could put millions of refugees in West Texas before anybody would even notice. Though I have been told settling up Refugees in un-populated areas of your country is inhumane somehow. I guess letting them stay in wartorn regions in camps is better.

raz, those statutes don't apply to the president exercising his powers under § 1182(f)

The internet has achieved something remarkable. It has made me really hate the sight of Kermit the Frog. Thanks internet.

You're linking to and quoting a section of code that deals with per country quotas on immigration.  Trump's EO has nothing to do with those; as best as I can tell (though God knows what any given Federal court might rule) what you're talking about has no bearing on what Syt brought to our attention.  It appears that the President does actually have the legal authority to do what Trump's EO does.  Color me surprised.
