The 1st amendment disallows any laws being created to target any specific Relgion with specific laws against it. It also grants the right to practice any religion..
The 14th amendment among other things grants non citizens protection of the same laws as citizens of this country.
So if you combine the two.. We can not make laws or block immigration of any groups based on race, Relgion or any other reason. As long as it's legal to seek refuge status in this country or apply for visas or what ever its against the constitution to attempt to exclude any specific groups.
Trumps statements on banning Muslims from entering the country violate the very basic core values of the bill of rights. Not to mention his ideals about tracking the ones who are already here or whatever nonsense he can think of.
He has essentially broken the presidential oath before he's taken it and you can bet if there was any remote chance for him to become president, lawsuits would be filed as he's willfully gone aginst the oath of the office.
The GOP is now scrambling as even they realize he's crossed the line at this point. They will now have to do something.. Even the new speaker of the House has come out against him on this..
