That is a core principle of sovereignty. Every Nation in the world makes those decisions. if they are a functioning state. and you then allow people to enter on your terms. on whatever conditions they may be. The condition may be. you can enter as long as you are enrolled in a college. you can enter for a certain period of time. you can enter on a tourist visa to do a certain number of things. But those conditions are not such that if you say someone cannot come here you violated the laws of America. If you say you can come to America but not if you have a history of being a sexual predator. what right does that violate? What principle of American law does that violate? I suggest none. We have every right to insist and ensure the immigration system of the United States serves the national interest. The national interest means you do not allow people to continue to stay in our country or to come to our country who have repeat DUls or who sell drugs or who are associated with terrorists. How basic is that?
