Lawyer: Obama ‘Has Legal Power’ To Suspend Muslim Immigration … ‘If He Wanted To’ [VIDEO]

The Daily Caller reports:

Filling in for radio host Laura Ingraham on Tuesday, lawyer and Power Line blogger John Hinderaker said that Congress has specifically given the president the authority to block immigration from majority Muslim countries as early as “today, if he wanted to.”

Discussing Donald Trump’s call to place a moratorium on all Muslim immigration, Hinderaker said the real estate mogul’s proposal was “unnecessary and would probably be ineffective,” but the idea that America can’t do anything to its immigration “to reduce the risk of importing Islamic terrorism … is frankly ridiculous.”

“One thing that could be done is that by presidential proclamation, we could simply stop accepting immigrants from Muslim majority countries,” Hinderaker continued.
