President Trump's effort to limit the number of people seeking asylum in the United States will face legal challenges in two different federal courts on Monday.

A federal judge in California will hear a challenge to the president's recent proclamation that requires asylum-seekers to present themselves at official ports of entry. The language of the proclamation makes clear that the administration is primarily concerned with the migrant caravan moving north through Mexico.

But a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) argues that the president's proclamation violates federal law in two ways: first, it bypasses rules requiring at least 30 days for "notice and comment" on changes in government regulations; and second, it limits asylum seekers to ports of entry. Under current federal law, migrants may apply for asylum inside the U.S. even if they entered the country illegally.

The second legal challenge to the administration's asylum policy will take place in a federal court in Washington D.C. where a judge will hear arguments on whether or not domestic abuse and gang violence justify an asylum claim.

Ok... I got to the paragraph mentioning Center for Constitution Rights and stopped reading.  They ARE NOT CITIZENS therefore they have no rights under the U.S. Constitution.  Where is it mandatory that the President HAS to accept anyone into this country?

He needs to declare a moratorium on ALL refugees seeking asylum and another moratorium on ALL migration into this country.

Let the SCOTUS rule on this!!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
