You would think as many times as countries have dumped criminals and agents posing as mass refugees crossing borders, Western culture would wise up. Sometimes we have to not let our Christian nature be used against us and decline to help based on the protection, economic and social well being of our own citizens.

They simply need to stage them for 90-120 days in a secure segregated facility until vetting can be completed. If only 8% of All Muslims are radicalized then they shouldn't be hard to find. The ones who aren't won't have anything to do with them in holding.

I disagree that the states and their citizens have no standing. The President of the United States is not GOD, nor is he a dictator. He can Appoint officers and judges, suggest policies and laws, but Congress makes law, and the Supreme Court and its judicial system interpret them. All had better be in accord with our U.S. constitution or we have a problem.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4, Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.

I would submit that a large group of people crossing borders even if unarmed is an invasion. By what authority granted in the constitution does the Federal government seek to enable the invasion and deny the security of states and their citizens in preference to non-citizens?

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Bill of Rights, 10th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The people grant specified power to the federal government; all others belong to the people or state.
