Quoted below are excerpts from the Presidents inauguration speech.
 
I think he needs to follow what he preaches if I am reading this right or am I reading things out of context??
 
" Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional — what makes us American — is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:
 
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” "
 
"  Today we continue a never-ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they’ve never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. (Applause.) The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed. "
 
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully –- not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear.  "
 
I did note the end of his speech he did work New Town in and defined a geographic area that should be secure and safe - problem is he included pretty much the East coast are of the US - odd
 
Full speech:

How can we call it unalienable when we allow it to be suspended revoked or restricted?

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
52% of Americans are fools, and proud of it.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
