First, Trump's proposal, while a bit crude, is perfectly constitutional. The US has the legal authority to admit or deny entrance to any foreigner it chooses on any basis, religion included. First Amendment protections are not applicable and any challenge on that basis would be easily defended.

Second, Trump's proposal was for a temporary halt, a pause, in order for the congress to better assess the problem and devise a legislative response.

Third, I would have preferred Trump limit the scope of the ban to certain countries, rather than a religion. That's what Jimmy Carter did and hardly anyone noticed or complained.
