1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Well, now it's time for our daily Bloomberg Law Brief,

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: exploring legal issues in the news, and it's brought to

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: you by American Arbitration Association. Business disputes are inevitable, resolve

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: faster with the American Arbitration Association, the global leader in

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: alternative dispute resolution for over ninety years. More at a

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: d r dot org. Today Bloomberg, Laho stum Grosso and

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: Greg Sture discussed President Trump's revised travel ban, which eases

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: restrictions on travelers coming to the United States but could

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: still face challenges in courts across the country. They speak

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: with David Beer, an immigration policy analyst at the Cato Institute,

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: and Eliza Gouden, co director of the Liberty and National

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. Eliza, is

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: it fair to say that this new executive order is

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: a significant improvement from a legal standpoint from the original one?

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I would say that from this from

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: a legal standpoint, I think it's certainly made an effort

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: to try to defuse some of the legal objections and

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: the legal problems with the first order, for example, by

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: eliminating language that carved out an express preference for religious minorities. Um,

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: and also by exempting current visa holders as well as

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: green card holders. These were all efforts to try to

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: mitigate some of the constitutional concerns with the original policy. UM.

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they will that will be enough actually

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: to to change the legal analysis, because the crux of

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: the order remains a policy that on its face has

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: a discriminator discriminatory impact on Muslims. After President Trump made

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: a number of statements saying that he intended to put

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: in place a Muslim van David, do you agree that

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: the revised order eliminates certain problems, but that the core

30
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: constitutional problem, which is religious discrimination, remains well. I don't

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: particularly take the view that this is a constitutional issue.

32
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I My argument is that this is a statutory problem

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: for the president. That we have a law on the

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: books that Congress enacted in nine that bands discrimination based

35
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: on UH nationality for immigrants. So at least as far

36
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: as this band applies to immigrant visa applicants in these countries,

37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: then it's illegal under the law, and this new order

38
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: did nothing to resolve that fundamental problem, that you have

39
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: a statute that bands this type of discrimination. I also

40
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: would say that while I'm not convinced that you know

41
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: that this is necessarily a Muslim band, there are elements

42
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: of this order that really undermine the argument that the

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: administration is making that this is about vetting people. So

44
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: it would indicate that he has no plans for it

45
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: to be temporary, and it really is intended to ban

46
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: people from the United States, as David Beer, an immigration
