What procedural guarantees are permanent residents guaranteed under US law, that these people were not granted when they were denied entry, ie. what is 'due process' in the context of entry for permanent residents?

Both articles just say "unconstitutional" and say "racist" a bunch of times without citing statute or case law. Sorry if I don't find such arguments compelling.

"constitutional" is different from "constitutionally protected civil liberty".

Almost all laws are constitutional, but very few pertain to civil liberties.

It isn't a matter of civil liberty.

Preferring non-whites to whites is not discrimination?

Obama had veto power. How did republicans force it through?

What happened was Obama signed the bill imposing exceptions to the Visa Waiver Program in December 2015, and then his own DHS added the current list of middle eastern nations in February 2016.

It is the most tenuous argument to act like that was the work of the GOP.

Key American allies

There are no constitutional issues raised by the border wall, and yet the ACLU is opposed to that.

52% of the budget goes to entitlements. 16% goes to defense.

That chart you posted is simply not correct. I think they confused discretionary spending with total spending.

It reduces social mobility. Charles Murray talks about how there is a trade-off between social mobility and meritocracy due to the heredity of IQ.

In a meritocratic society, the smartest kids go to the best schools, then to the best colleges, then the most elite companies, then likely marry someone from school or work, and then have the smartest kids.

Socioeconomic classes become set due the stability of cognitive function across generations.

Is it ideal to have a cognitively and economically stratified america with a cognitive elite and cognitive under-class?

Is it ideal that this cognitive elite has little to no interaction with the rest of America, and little understanding of how the rest of the country lives?

Then separate out the problem kids, not the slow kids.

Only if you confound "dumb kid" and "problem kid". Certainly, get problem kids out of the equation, but that doesn't mean there isn't some benefit to different cognitive classes coming into contact with one another.

If for no other reason, you don't want the cognitive elite going through life never knowing that the rest of the country are reasonable, functional people instead of fools and rubes.
