Then it's religious discrimination, limiting their freedom. Seeing as otherwise they would have been able to immigrate into the United states.

2018-11-17 11:25:35 UTC  

But that's not what's taking place or even being discussed

2018-11-17 11:25:54 UTC  

Trump wanted that.

2018-11-17 11:26:11 UTC  

He wanted forced conversion under threat of violence?

2018-11-17 11:26:22 UTC  

Now you're really off your rocker.

2018-11-17 11:26:33 UTC  

No, he wanted to ban all people from a certain religion from being able to immigrate to the USA.

2018-11-17 11:26:51 UTC  

Which... again, doesn't apply to anyone who's an American citizen.

2018-11-17 11:27:05 UTC  

While it should.

2018-11-17 11:27:06 UTC  

It only restricted entry by foreign nationals.

2018-11-17 11:27:18 UTC  

Who are not, you know. American citizens.

2018-11-17 11:27:22 UTC  

Based on religion.

2018-11-17 11:27:31 UTC  

Which goes against the principles of your constitution.

2018-11-17 11:27:48 UTC  

Except the Constitution doesn't apply to foreign nationals.

2018-11-17 11:27:57 UTC  

It applies to American citizens.

2018-11-17 11:28:03 UTC  

This is the point of sovereignty.

2018-11-17 11:28:16 UTC  

It does by principle apply to everyone.

2018-11-17 11:28:28 UTC  

Just not by law.

2018-11-17 11:28:36 UTC  

You don't seem to be very familiar with our Constitution.

2018-11-17 11:28:43 UTC  

Are the rights god given?

2018-11-17 11:29:16 UTC  

Yes or no?

2018-11-17 11:30:07 UTC  

We recognize them as such, under the Constitution, applying to citizens of the sovereign entity that is the United States of America. Outside of those parameters, the discussion is philosophical at best.

2018-11-17 11:30:07 UTC  

You're taking very long to answer a simple yes or no question

2018-11-17 11:30:17 UTC  

Ok, so the answer is yes.

2018-11-17 11:30:26 UTC  

So by principle the constitution should apply to everyone

2018-11-17 11:30:35 UTC  

No, of course not.

2018-11-17 11:30:43 UTC  

Because we're not in charge of the entire world.

2018-11-17 11:30:47 UTC  

And banning people from entering the country because they have a certain religion goes against its principles

2018-11-17 11:30:50 UTC  

I said by principle

2018-11-17 11:30:58 UTC  

Yeah, that's what I mean.

2018-11-17 11:31:08 UTC  

We don't owe the citizens of another country anything.

2018-11-17 11:31:14 UTC  

In reality they don't, because America isn't in charge of the whole world.

2018-11-17 11:31:17 UTC  

Including guaranteed admission.

2018-11-17 11:31:29 UTC  

However by the principles of the constitution everyone should have these rights.

2018-11-17 11:31:33 UTC  

The same way that France doesn't owe me anything.

2018-11-17 11:31:40 UTC  

Or Japan.

2018-11-17 11:31:55 UTC  

And restriction religious freedom for anyone, regardless of nationality, goes against the principles of your constitution.

2018-11-17 11:31:58 UTC  

I'm not extended any rights or protections under Japanese law that protects its citizens

2018-11-17 11:32:04 UTC  

Because I'm not a Japanese national.

2018-11-17 11:32:16 UTC  

I'm not arguing by law.

2018-11-17 11:32:31 UTC  

I'm not understanding what difficulty you're having with the concept of sovereignty.

2018-11-17 11:32:33 UTC  

By law you are right.
