Trump is right, 1952 McCarran-Walter Act allows us to keep out immigrants we can’t trust
Vanity | August 16, 2016 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Posted on 08/16/2016 7:15:34 AM PDT by jmaroneps37

Just a little bit of research shows that as usual Donald Trump is right and the lazy hate filled media is wrong.

Trump’s call for “extreme” vetting falls squarely within the options outlined by the 1952 Immigration and Nationality revise Act commonly known as the McCarran-Walter Act, which was passed to strengthen America’s ability to protect ourselves in matters relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality.

H.R. 13342; Pub.L. 414; 182 Stat. 66. 82nd Congress; June 27, 1952. SUMMARY

“Otherwise known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was meant to exclude certain immigrants from immigrating to America, post-World War II and in the early Cold War. The McCarran-Walter Act moved away from excluding immigrants based simply upon country of origin. Instead it focused upon denying immigrants who were unlawful, immoral, diseased in any way, politically radical etc. and accepting those who were willing and able to assimilate into the US economic, social, and political structures, which restructured how immigration law was handled.

"Furthermore, the most notable exclusions were anyone even remotely associated with communism which in the early days of the Cold War was seen as a serious threat to US democracy. The main objective of this was to block any spread of communism from outside post WWII countries, as well as deny any enemies of the US during WWII such as Japan and favor “good Asian” countries such as China. The McCarran-Walter Act was a strong reinforcement in immigration selection, which was labeled the best way to preserve national security and national interests. President Truman originally vetoed the law, deeming it discriminatory; however there was enough support in Congress for the law to pass.”

Radical Islamists who profess allegiance to Sharia Law, which forbids assimilation, above the US Constitution can and should be excluded from entry into our country. They are exactly the type of people the McCarren-Walter Act was written to exclude from our nation.

A simple examination of what it means to be adherent to Sharia Law shows that those who practice it will never become part of our melting pot – they hate assimilation – they will never follow our laws regarding fair treatment of all Americans and will yield to our political system.

True to the Democrat nature of always being on the wrong side of issues, Democrat Harry Truman vetoed this law but was overridden and it was forced into law by Republicans who wanted security and safety for all Americans.

This act was written when even Democrats were willing to admit we had very dangerous enemies who had to be dealt with in a stern and unyielding manner. Democrats today don't see Islamist warriors as enemies; but rather new voters. Trump is right and the Democrats are once again on the side of America's enemies.

We need a 20 year moratorium on all immigration. From everywhere.

Yep. McCarran was a Democrat senator from Nevada, Walter was a Democrat senator from Pennsylvania.

Truman vetoed the bill and a large bipartisan majority overturned his veto. First by 278 to 113 in the House and then 57 to 26 in the Senate, the very next day.

Which is exactly why the Rats have invited and encouraged tens of millions of third world people to come here illegally who would never have been allowed in otherwise. Just another chapter in ClowardPivenAlinsky. Destroy the US. Yet we still allow libtards to claim they are American. Fix this and most everything else will just fall into place.

He’s almost always right.

Immigrants are not citizens and have no inherent right to come here. They’re only granted permission if we want to.

I used to think that there was no reason to stop immigration. We just needed to do a better job of deciding who we let in. Now, I have come to the same conclusion as yourself. We need to end all immigration from everywhere. We have to many malcontents, and troublemakers, from elsewhere who are only here to destroy the US. We need to deport everyone who is here on a green card. We need to re-evaluate the progress of those who have been granted citizenship since 1965. If they have not become Americans, their citizenship should be revoked and they should be deported. One Kazir Kahn comes to mind.

> Part 12. 10(C) Have you EVER been a member of, or in any way associated (either directly or indirectly) a terrorist organization

Since islam is a terrorist organization the form won’t need any changes.

All the laws we need are already on the books, we just need the fortitude to use them as necessary.

Democrats and the media have created the false belief that people have been allowed to immigrate wherever they please, as if it is easy as booking a plane ticket.

The thought of screening immigrants in any way is now being painted as racist and xenophobic. Many people would be shocked to learn the details of the immigration process for people who aren’t political pawns like Syrian refugees are.

For the same reason they didn't put radical nazi, or radical commie, in the wording.

The good ones are little more than non combat support personnel, and should be treated as such.

That’s fine. But don’t just ask them a few questions, where they can easily lie. Just say outright, if you come from these countries, we will not let you in. And it’s regardless of religion, so that removes that potential legal gotcha.
