Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The First Amendment does not apply to foreign nationals who have not yet entered the United States.
Whether it, or the rest of the Constitution, applies to citizens of foreign countries within the borders of the United States is still up for debate.
Congress has made no law respecting the establishment of religion, that I know of. If you know of such a law, please reveal it to us.
I have a copy of the Constitution right here on my desk. I read it frequently. I believe the people who wrote it meant what they wrote, and wrote what they meant. Take, for instance, the often referred to "Emoluments Clause". As it applies to the President, it appears in Article II, Section 1, the next to the last paragraph: "...he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States or any of them."
It would seem the writers knew exactly what they wanted to say, and said it!
The OTHER "Emoluments Clause" appears in Article I (which describes the Congress), Section 9, the last paragraph thereof. Since the rest of Article I applies only to the Congress, it seems to be obvious that the last paragraph of Section 9 does, too.
So, sorry, but no weeping on my part. 8 USC 1182, in its entirety, give broad powers to the President (as quoted), and the rest of 1182 gives broad powers over immigration to members of the President's CABINET! (i.e. the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, etc.)
Perhaps you should read the entire law.
Perhaps the law will be declared unconstitutional, but it hasn't happened yet. Until that does happen, the law stands as written.

And yet, from what I remember, the Constitution only applies to American citizens.

1) Many of the people affected by the ban are US citizens and green card holders. 2) The Supreme Court has ruled on cases related to Guantanamo that non-citizens are not entirely uncovered by Constitutional protection.

I have heard that there were a few American citizens who were affected. However, that was a small amount and it should have been made to affect them. Green card holders are not American citizens so while it sucks, well, the Constitution should not apply to them.

Let's compare. 10-30 million illegals in the US that the liberals want to ingore. Thanks for the LOLs!
Thirty million? Is this going to be the new way that Republicans prove themselves? "That guy thinks he's conservative, but he's a ******* - - he says there's only 30 million illegals in this country. Obviously it's 60 million!"
Excuse me, but did the White House advisor in the Obama administration EVER say that the president will not be questioned? And you actually support that statement? My god, even more unhinged than I thought.
