Liberals opposing President Donald Trump's executive order banning immigrants from seven countries linked to terrorism simply don't want to enforce the nation's laws, J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department attorney tells Newsmax TV.
"The law is the law. This anger on the left just shows you how lawless the left has become. They don't want to enforce the law," Adams said Monday in an interview with "The Steve Malzberg Show."
"They're perfectly happy with the institutions dissolving away like borders. I mean a nation is its borders. You can't avoid the fact that borders matter."
Adams — author of "Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department," published by Regnery, and head of ElectonLawCenter.com — added that illegal immigrants are getting onto the nation's voter rolls.
"That is a fact. That means they're influencing our elections because you have candidates now who are trying to appeal to them. In Virginia … we have just in eight counties over 1,000 aliens that have been caught on the rolls," he told Steve Malzberg.
"This is just eight counties and they were only caught by accident and they were voting and that's the facts … There's no constitutional right for foreigners to enter the United States. That is not a constitutional right ...
"The law says that the president has absolute power to prevent any class of aliens he wants from entering the country … The court was left out of the equation. They don't have any role to play so they should keep their mouths shut."

Even though a three judge appeals panel has upheld a federal court block of Trump's immigration ban, Adams believes the commander in chief "wins this game no matter what" by simply acting quickly.
"He can move out anything the court doesn't like … and issue a new [order] and the ACLU and the radical open-borders lawyers have to start from scratch. They have to build a whole new case and find another sympathetic firm sharp judge which they did in Seattle and start all over again," he said.
"So Trump can win this by just being quicker than they are, by issuing a new executive order anytime a court finds a problem with the old one."
