President said figuratively we are prepared to take up arms if need be. This potential restriction on l imports. Orts stee guest the movement in part is by a need to protect our industrial base. I believe there is major study going on in this administration to understand what in time of crisis we can and cannot produce to keep the American Economy going and keep america safe. Much of what we build in our defense establishment is now dependent upon foreign components. And for whatever reason we cannot access them from a third country, how do we cover that problem . Host betty from virginia beach, virginia. Caller good morning and thank you for you and thanks for cspan. I just wanted to say i think the meeting was terrible. First of all, i hate trump. Second of all, i do not trust him. Third of all, issued unless it maybe 15 minutes. He should have told this guy i know he keeps on saying he does not know it was russia that interfered with the election, but he does not believe our own intelligence agencies. He should have one in there and told him knock it off. Dont do it anymore. And all that type of thing. And for Rex Tillerson to come out and give a statement, yes, Rex Tillerson i understand rose up and spoke out for himself in the white house or had an argument with the soninlaw. Do you really believe Rex Tillerson is going to come out and Say Something the president does not want him to say . Of course not. Host lets give Herman Pirchner a chance to comment. Guest i think we have a big problem with russian interference, not only here but in the European Countries that have elections coming up. We know they funded the far right party of le pen in france. Interfering in various ways and the german elections. That is a problem. If there is any change in a relationship with russia, in my judgment, we will have to see a rollback of what they are doing to interfere in democracies. Not just here but throughout the world. I might note they countries have always interfered in the affairs of other countries. What is new is the scope of russian intervention that has made been made possible by modern technologies. It was impossible before technological innovations. Host william from arkansas on the republican line. Caller good morning, herman. I have two points i would like to make. Give me one good reason why they would not record that meeting. And the second, i was watching tv last night and watching these people sit down to dinner. Two miles away there are 100,000 people marching in the street. It was like deja vu all over again. France in the 1700s. Cuba in the 1900s. Russia in the 1900s. They had no idea what was going on until the people came marching in the door. What is going on here . Point william, your first why wasnt recordings made of the truck meeting . I think it recordings are made then everybody makes say talk and serious discussions cannot be held. I think there is a case to be made for privacy when had the state meet and not just putin an trump, but any heads of state. I think you have to watch the size of the crowds. 100,000 people is a big crowd, but it is not the type of size double topple a country. That will topple a country. You look at more serious demonstrations in Eastern Europe when millions were in the streets. Look at the size of the major civil rights demonstrations here in the 1960s. Give was a lot more than 100,000 people. Et your should ge attention, but it will not pressure they change myself. Host Herman Pirchner, president of the american foreignpolicy council. Afp. Org.

Washington journal continues. Host joining us now is Avideh Moussavian, senior policy attorney with the National Immigration law center. She is here to talk about the application of the recent recent implementation of the president s travel ban and legislative actions against sanctuary cities. Like you so much for joining us here today thank you so much for joining us today. Or us with the National Immigration law center is and its mission. Guest we are a National Organization raised in los angeles, but we have an office in washington, d. C. We are committed to advancing the rights and opportunities of lowincome an immigrants. Policy application to do that. Host lets start with a travel ban. The Supreme Court ruled part of this travel ban could go into effect while the court which they hear arguments on the full arguments on it in october. According to a government oneve, at one point point of ambiguity in the ruling resulted from its allowances of the six b countriesan if they have a bona fide relationshipned with a person or entity in the United States. That includes sudan,s area, iraq. Syria, libya, it later expanded to also include fiances. Lets talk about how that is playing out so far. Guest sure. It was a surprise the Supreme Court allowed part of that ban to go forward. Obviously it was quite a departure from what the 4th and 9th Circuit Courts held blocking the ban. The Supreme Court said we will to gopart of this ban forward and then we will hear the full case in the fall and october. There was a threeday hold perio d before it went into effect. Nefore june 29, the partial ba is in effect. If they are not in the u. S. And seeking a nonimmigrant visa to come here, they have to be able to prove the bona fide relationship. The Supreme Court elaborated specific examples. If you have a number of employment, if you have an acceptance letter to a university or to speak as a lecturer, they provide a clear examples of what they wanted to not be included in the ban. At the same time they said for the u. S. Refugee program there is 120 day ban that goes into effect for all refugees unless they prove a bona fide relationship to a person or entity. That thesurprising was toernment this site is grossly narrow its interpretation of the supreme said the fact and t for example people are have a tie to be used Resettlement Agency for refugees is not categorically considered a bona fide relationship to an entity. That is now playing out in the ninth circuit where they are trying to seek clarification of the Supreme Courts orders. A bit of a judicial pingpong or hot potato between a District Court. N hawaii and the host we will get to that case in just a minute. First, a state Department Official said employees have been trained to implement the order. The department would not cancel previous scheduled visa applications requirements hennikers visa seekers to go into their interviews as planned. The original travel ban, we saw all sorts of chaos happening at some airports where a lot of people were caught offguard. How is this implementation affecting people that it applies to . How are the people being helped . Guest refugees and muslims, people from those majority thatries, our position is they have been affected by it. There is intent and the collateral consequences of people affected by it. The challenge is that a lot of these decisions around who will be issued a visa over gets processed to come into the country, that happens at u. S. Embassies overseas. There is a lot of discretion individual officers have. They are not necessarily uniform training or decisionmaking that is made. Of course, the vagueness of bona fide relationship when you see there is a conflict between how the Supreme Court has asked for it to be interpreted versus what the government has said and trying to narrow the scope and say it is far fewer people that perhaps the Supreme Court intended, that really leads it up to individual discretion of officers overseas and at airports. That raises clear questions as to how it will be applied. We are in the process of trying to gather their stories. Refugees who up and waiting and gone through very extensive process of trying to arrive here sometimes for as long as 18 months to 24 months, that was their situation and a great deal of uncertainty. Host we are talking to Avideh Moussavian of the National Immigration law center about recent immigration actions, both the travel ban and limited and some legislation being considered in congress. Democrats can call 202 7488000, republicans, 202 7488001. Independents, 202 7488002. We have justin calling from davenport, florida on the republican line. Caller hello. How are you this morning . Host good. Goahead. Caller my father came here as whenmigrant in the 1970s there were laws in place pertaining to what kind of public assistance you could and could not receive. And also used to have have a sponsor. Why is it we are not still upholding the same standards in our immigration today . Guest sure. We still require for familybased immigration for people to have a relative who sponsors them, or in some cases people get sponsored by an employer. That has not changed. The mba parent or a it can be a territory sibling or a child sponsoring you or a spouse. The core of the familybased immigration is the we have is still in place. With respect to your question about what types of benefits people are eligible for, there are a lot of changes that have been made under president lyndon in 1996 president clinton in 1996. It made it extraordinarily difficult for most immigrants, including green card holders to access most federal public benefits. Most immigrants who are here are paying, intruding in taxes but dont act as most of the benefits that are otherwise available to u. S. Citizens. Host you mentioned the litigation going on surrounding the latest implementation of this travel ban. Earlier thisrted week that a federal judge in hawaii tonight a motion filed by the state seeking to limit the scope of president Donald Trumps socalled travel ban, parts of which were cleared to be of limited by the u. S. Supreme court. U. S. District judge derek watson said thursday that the Supreme Court is the proper venue to deal with the issue. He denied request without prejudice to its refiling but the Supreme Court. Hawaiitely attorneys for appealed that to the 9th circuit in already ruled that federal Appeals Court panel late friday declined to absolve itself in the latest dispute over president trumps travel ban, any grandparents and other extended relatives of people in United States cannot the exempted from the president s executive order. What do you expect to happen next while we wait for the supreme or to take of the merits of the case in october . Guest i think the fact the 9th circuit said you can take this back to the District Courts and judge watson certainly puts pressure on the District Court to take it up. It is within his authority to provide some interpretation and clarification of that. That is not unusual for unprecedented. I think it was surprising for some people to see the judge did not want to comment on it. The real human toll in the meantime is that the governments much more narrow interpretation of what the Supreme Court set is now in late now in place. You have relatives, grandparents, grandchildren effectively blocked. You have potentially numerous refugees of all faiths from every country, not just those six countries. A stark example are people who are iraqi nationals who provided assistance to u. S. Citizens in the military. As a result of that assistance in helping u. S. Citizens do their jobs safely, they were subject to prosecution persecution. The fact they have a tie to a u. S. Resettlement Refugee Agency is not categorically enough. The fact they helped u. S. Citizens, u. S. Military do their jobs safely in iraq is not enough according to the government. You haves get resolved a lot of uncertainty for refugees and nationals from this six countries. Host john from rio rancho, new mexico. Good morning. Caller can you hear me . Host go ahead. Caller thank you so much. With all due respect, i wanted to make the statement that and have your guess respond, that those of us that a generational americans, we are offended by the ninth Circuit Court. One is a generational americans, grandfathers and uncles and family that is fought all the way back in everywhere this country has ever had. Every war this country has ever had. They are white, black, hispanic generational americans that up with you forever. I want to make the connection that christianity is western culture. You cannot separate western culture from christianity. The ninth Circuit Court is not the law of the land. That is a deviant court with deviants running it, supported by other deviants that chairman of the night court make some deviant ruling. We dont want any more muslims in our country. If we had it on the ballot, it would overwhelmingly win. We just a want any more muslims in our country dont want any more muslims in our country. Host with with Avideh Moussavian. Respond guest as a child of muslim i obviously have grown up knowing many intergenerational americans who identify the rest a numerous faiths. This country was founded on the concept of religious freedom and the idea you should not be subject to discrimination because of your faith and how you pray. I think that is a core American Value and something that is very near and dear to all of us and to the founders of this country. Circuit,hat the ninth and specifically the Fourth Circuit held, because the Fourth Circuit in particular said we see the discriminatory intent behind this and it is in a tent intent to discriminate against people based on their faith, i think that is been very clear from this administration and who they are trying to target. A part of those collateral consequences if people of all faiths, regardless of what they believe, if they are refugees, they are subject to the span to this ban. You have people fleeing dangerous conditions and are seeking humanitarian relief. We have always in a country that said we welcome immigrants. We want to provide safety and sheltered people fleeing persecution. From my perspective, the fourth and ninth circuits were upholding core American Values. Host i want to turn to the legal arguments in this case and present the two sides. And the Washington Post there from professors at the university of chicago law school. When the spring Court Considers the travel ban in october, the justices will have ways to avoid with on whether it exceeds its constitutional authority. They could dismiss the case as moot. If the justices decided world on the constitutional question, they will have the opportunity to weigh in on the principle known as the power doctrine against the president and congress extraordinary power to take action when it comes to immigration law. The court should see this opportunity once and for all and read our legal system of this outdated rid our legal system of this outdated doctrine. The Heritage Foundation has a different view on that. In a usa today piece he writes, president ial authority to protect the homeland should not be secondguessed by the courts based in some hidden intent designed from tweet and statements made by circuit in the heat up a president ial campaign. The Supreme Court should hold the president s the authority in a moment his r
