text: It's not just the 9th. The 4th too...and just about every news person out there. Here's the text of the statute:
  
  Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
  
  
  You don't get much more direct than that.
