As I see it...

That law does not address those already here, and that is where "due process" comes in. They are here legally and have an expectation of free travel just as do you and I. We even offer due process to ILLEGAL aliens present here within our borders. This portion of the order is not only quite likely unconstitutional, it makes no sense. If they meant us harm, they would simply not leave the country.

Those already issued a visa or holding a green card and currently overseas are a question that has not been addressed by the courts. My thought is one of double jeopardy, but the President has wide ranging powers here. He could prevail, even though the inclusion of green card holders is one of questionable use, since they have already undergone fairly extensive checks.

As for blocking new immigration, not only does the law you cite give him that authority, but tons of case law and previous precedents do also. He wins this part in a landslide.

I do believe he will, or should, choose two avenues. I believe that if he reads the court order carefully, he will craft a more specific EO to comply with the letter of the decision. This will give him what he really needs, the ability to pause immigration to set up new standards for background checks and refugee status. Of course, he's Trump and his ego may keep him from doing this and moving on. The second thing I believe he will do is continue his appeal in order to gain clarification from SCOTUS.
 
Let's continue pandering to the left and allowing the Left Coast crazies to influence our country's direction. At one point someone has to stand up and say enough is enough, it quite possibly may be Trump to do so and it would be no surprise that he gains the support of the working class. We've seen first hand what has happened in Europe after their open border policies. We will either make a stand or we'll be facing a very similar situation in our country. Just look at how close we are to it now with the number of protesters.....and generally speaking they're U.S. citizens.
 
It has been my impression that some of the radicalized terrorists who had visas to be in the US, left, went to one of these countries Trump closed the door on, to see friends and family... or maybe go to a training camp. I thought it was great it was done without warning. I figured those in training who planned on entering at their leisure, now were not going to be able to just slip back in.

I think this administration is going to squash Isis, or any other name for terrorist, and try to tamp down the growth we have seen during the last 8 years. This is going to piss off those terrorist cells who will want to inflict more terror on the USA.

We must secure our boarders and any means of entering our country by those who may be radicalized.

I don't think Trump will tell in advance what or when they plan to do. I would hope this was the first step- to secure our country, before taking down these bad groups.

Germany is now paying refugees to leave...

When a person is here on a visa, the visa can be revoked at any time for any reason given by the government. By executive order Jimmy Carter banned Iranian citizens from entering our borders and invalidated every visa granted to Iranian citizens and did anyone challenge it to be unconstitutional?

He actually ordered every Iranian currently in the country to contact immigration to set up an appointment for an interview. That was due process. Those who did were interviewed individually and a decision was made on their status. Those who didn't report within the grace period ( I think two months) had their visa revoked.

The US government has the right to revoke a visa at any time.
