I can tell you right now: No, you don’t have that power, it would be a violation of international law.
Glad we could sort that out you insane fucking freak
Rules-based international order
Rule 0: The US can do whatever it wants
What? International Law 100% acknowledges the right of countries to control their own borders. No nation is required to allow anyone into the country they don't want in there. There are a lot of dumb-bad reasons to shut down the border but "violating international law" isn't one of them.
“Shutting down the border” means denying asylum seekers with no due process. That is a violation of international law.
Israel has been in violation of international law since its inception but liberals still go BUT KKKHAMMAAAAAAAAAAS so there is no law they aren't willing to break to increase suffering for everyone in the world outside the owning class.
Oh absolutely, but if you’re “exploring if you have the power” I assume that means looking at if it’s legal, which it is not. No more exploring needed.
