    Exclusive–Rep. King: The Supreme Court Just Laid the Foundation for the Border Wall

    Exclusive–Rep. King: The Supreme Court Just Laid the Foundation for the Border Wall


    June 26, 2018

    Rep. Steve King




    In one ruling, the Supreme Court has delivered two major victories to President Trump. The first victory is obvious: Trump v. Hawaii validates the President’s broad authority to restrict entry of specified foreign nationals into the United States when the President finds such entry is “detrimental to the interests of the United States.”



    What does this mean? It means, as I have argued, that President Trump’s “travel ban” limiting immigration from Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Chad, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen is constitutional. It means that President Trump does have the authority, despite the open-borders howls of liberals and illegal alien activists, to secure our citizens against threats posed by foreign nationals from dysfunctional states. It is a good ruling, and one that will help President Trump keep this nation safe, secure, and protected.


    But Trump v. Hawaii is a decision with a less obvious meaning too. The Supreme Court has just laid the foundation for the Border Wall that the President and I want to build along the US-Mexico border. Trump v. Hawaii, in fact, provides a roadmap to “Build The Wall!”



    At issue before the Supreme Court was the scope of 8 USC 1182 (f), a federal law which delegates broad authority over immigration policy to the President. Here is the text of that statute:

    Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

    The meaning of the statute is clear, and in upholding President Trump’s “travel ban,” the Supreme Court correctly interpreted it. 8 USC 1182(f), as Chief Justice Roberts writes, is a statute that “grants the President sweeping authority to decide whether to suspend entry, whose entry to suspend, and for how long.”


    So, it is settled law. President Trump can deny foreign nationals entry to the country. He should immediately issue a Presidential Proclamation suspending the entry of foreign nationals from Mexico, Caribbean, Central, and South American countries until such time as he finds the detrimental effects of illegal immigration from these regions have been curtailed and our border is secure. These areas are home to the violent and dysfunctional countries that export the vast majority of illegal immigrants to America.



    In supporting its ruling, the Supreme Court cited two historical examples. The first of these, Sale v. Haitian Centers Council, Inc., is a 1993 ruling cited by the Trump v. Hawaii court as standing for the proposition that the “President could establish a naval blockade to prevent illegal migrants from entering the United States.” The second citation was to a valid Presidential Proclamation issued in 1986 by President Reagan “to suspend entry ‘as immigrants’ by almost all Cuban nationals, to apply pressure on the Cuban government.”
    Put these two historical actions together and what do you get? A proclamation that not only restricts the movement of illegal aliens into the United States, but also serves as a means of convincing a foreign government to take measures to deal with a policy matter that is detrimentally affecting our country.

    A blockade? That’s the Navy’s version of a Wall. Pressuring Cuba to change on policy? It’s clear that Mexico and other countries in the region see no incentive to crack down on their facilitation of illegal immigration. Perhaps the President’s extended exclusion of their nationals would encourage them to take action to clean up the mess they enable.


    In other words, Trump v. Hawaii can be summed up as a constitutional validation of Trump’s promise to “Build the Wall and Make Mexico Pay for It.” He should issue the necessary Presidential Proclamation barring the entry of foreign nationals from the countries in our regional neighborhood immediately, and he should leave it in effect until a Wall is built.

    If this Wall is estimated at $25 billion, is it going to spiral higher as most government projects do? Seems like there are plenty of other ways to have effective immigration policy and border security. Plus we could re-activate some of our international programs to get to the root of the refugee crises.

    Money is not the issue. Our government could find 25 billion under the couch cushions if they wanted to.

    The problem is they do not want the Wall.

    I am in 100% support of the border "wall" Trump promised us during his campaign! Our current border system is a sieve that allows illegal aliens, drug smugglers, human traffickers, and anyone else that wants in easy access. Didn't I read somewhere recently that we only catch 1 of 5 illegals attempting to enter. And even that one that is caught just ends up coming back for another try. IMO, we desperately need a more imposing physical structure across our Southern border!

    It's a matter of keeping your eye on the ball. The wall needs to be built. You can enhance it with other tools. Your suggestion that "there are plenty of other ways" is "comprehensive" solutions which seldom get done. We have to move incrementally.

    The electronic fence mentioned in your link will not stop anyone by itself. It still depends on Border Patrol being close enough to react. A wall actually slows them down or stops them. This gives time for the Border Patrol to react if notified by electronic sensors.

    The "root" is problems in other countries where we have no jurisdiction. That is the most difficult to fix.

    Yes MW, you did read 1 in 5. Who knows it could be 1 in whatever, who counts them accurately, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick of Texas gave these numbers and estimated the number of current illegal aliens between 25- 30 million. He said the Chamber of Commerce gave the 11 million figure in 2004, I think, and with the numbers that have crossed illegally since then, it has to be near the 30 million number. If you apprehend 40-50 thousand illegal aliens a month and that is 1 in 5, then there are really up to 200-250 thousand a month or as Dan Patrick said, up to 2 million a year. The numbers are ridiculous. It is an invasion.

    Border Patrol knows that, DHS knows that, ICE knows that, even I've known that since 2005 when the US Congress did a study on the southern border, called "The Southwest Border: A Line In The Sand".

    Patrick is wrong about the source of the 11 million, it wasn't the Chamber of Commerce, he may have heard it or read it from the Chamber, but the number was from the Pew Research Center.
