That is uh, exactly what you said.
Where in that did you read that only Americans deserve religious freedom?
The fact that you think the American constitution (which awards religious freedom) only applies to American citizens and the fact that you therefor think it's okay for the American government to not care about the religious freedom of non-Americans.
The Constitution DOES only apply to Americans.
Not really
I am not subject to, for example, Canadian code and laws, nor the laws of Zimbabwe, or China.
The same way that a Saudi is not subject to the US Constitution.
By principle it shouldn't.
How do you figure
Seeing as the rights awarded by the constitution are inalienable.
They're sovereign countries, not bound by our laws.
God given rights
Not government given.
Just because we think that doesn't mean that the Crown Prince of Saud believes the same to be true.
Or the PM of the UK
Or the President of France
So while practically the constitution does apply only to American citizens, seeing as the rights are god given and inalienable the USA should give non-citizens the same rights
And not take away their religious freedom.
We're not taking away anything.
You are.
It is if you do it based on religious reasons
Allowing them to come into our country and then forcing them to convert under threat of the sword would be a sanction against religious freedom, sure.
Then it's religious discrimination, limiting their freedom. Seeing as otherwise they would have been able to immigrate into the United states.
But that's not what's taking place or even being discussed
Trump wanted that.
He wanted forced conversion under threat of violence?
Now you're really off your rocker.
No, he wanted to ban all people from a certain religion from being able to immigrate to the USA.
Which... again, doesn't apply to anyone who's an American citizen.
While it should.
It only restricted entry by foreign nationals.
Who are not, you know. American citizens.
Based on religion.
Which goes against the principles of your constitution.
Except the Constitution doesn't apply to foreign nationals.
It applies to American citizens.
This is the point of sovereignty.
It does by principle apply to everyone.
Just not by law.
You don't seem to be very familiar with our Constitution.
