The President has the authority to suspend entry of any class of aliens for any length of time, for any reason. [1] Jimmy Carter did exactly that in 1980, disallowing Iranians entry into the country, and for similar reasons. [2] That's only the most recent historical example.

Thankfully congress has the power to change that with a normal majority.
Of course, they could try to ram that through before Obama leaves office, to avoid such a veto. However, I can think of few better ways for Congress to ensure a Trump victory.
"Given that an ISIS attack in Paris just helped fuel the sweeping election victory of an actually fascist party in France". What is this low level journalism doing on HN ? 1. The "Front National" is an extremely conservative party with racist undertones but certainly not fascist. The Republican Party seems far more conservative on certain subjects. However the "Front National" does have quite a statist vision of the…
Some examples of using the 'fascist' label: From The Financial Times, quoting Sarkozy: “Are 6.5m French people fascists?” [http://blogs.ft.com/the-world/2012/04/is-the-front-national-... ]; In 2014,German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble on Tuesday branded the French National Front party fascist: [http://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-elections-fascism-idUSK... ]; French court ruling they can be called 'fascist': [http://www.english.rfi.fr/france/20140410-front-nationals-le... ]; 'Donald Trump is Now America's Marine Le Pen':[http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/could-donald-trum... ]

Am I the only one really bothered by what the author of this article thinks news should be? As an instrument to shut down political ideas you don't like? I find it ironic that he criticizes the idea of limiting freedom of speech to fight terrorism, but then thinks we should turn around and silence bigots.
And, ladies and gentlemen, we bomb Muslims, day and night, and have been doing so non-stop since the beginning of this century. Let's keep things in perspective: temporary immigration ban vs. forever war. Cannot agree more with the Teju Cole quote toward the end.
