Trump wants to keep ‘communists’ and ‘Marxists’ out of the US. Here’s what the law says

Donald Trump has announced a new campaign proposal on United States immigration — barring “communists” and “Marxists” from entering the country.

The Republican former president, who is making another bid in 2024, on Saturday said he would use “Section 212 (f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act” to “order my government to deny entry to all communists and all Marxists.”

The announcement was reminiscent of Trump’s ban on travelers from several predominantly Muslim countries during his first term… […]

He also said there needs to be a “new law” to address communists and Marxists who grew up in America, but didn’t elaborate on what it would include. […]

U.S. immigration law says that any immigrant “… who is or has been a member of or affiliated with the Communist or any other totalitarian party (or subdivision or affiliate thereof), domestic or foreign, is inadmissible.” […]

In the travel ban that was eventually upheld by the Supreme Court, (University of San Francisco professor Bill) Hing said the court paid particular attention to the steps that the Trump administration had taken to check with U.S. embassies abroad on whether they could guarantee that people coming from those countries would not be a threat to the U.S. “You have to have some justification,” Hing said.

That thought was echoed by immigration attorney Allen Orr, the former president of the Washington, D.C.-based American Immigration Lawyers Association. Orr said the version that eventually made it to the high court had a “whole list of exceptions.” […] Analysts point squarely at one country: China, where tens of millions of people are members of the country’s Communist Party. …

The anti-Commie law has been in the books since the 1950s but is not enforced.

Dumb idea. Those folks pose no problem. It’s the home-grown commies, the ones who don’t carry cards, who we need to be concerned about.

The full quote is
“ Those who come to and join our country must love our country. We want them to love our country. We don’t want them when they want to destroy our country. Welcome to America, we want to destroy your country, thank you very much. So we’re going to keep foreign Christian-hating communists, Marxists, and socialists out of America. We’re keeping them out of America.”

They are doing what they always do. Deception by omission. While no we don’t want communists here, his point was in the first part of his quote.

“ Those who come to and join our country must love our country. We want them to love our country. We don’t want them when they want to destroy our country.”

Those attempting to flee Communism for the Constitutional US in good faith are not a problem. Yes, the domestic Rats are a problem.

As described by the article, a peculiar issue to bring up. But maybe he intends to make the connection to the domestic Stasi scum.
