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. …

Remove their citizenship, voting rights and ability to engage in political discourse. Yes, it is constitutional because the federal government is charged with ensuring a republican form of government.

Yes they do. If not for foreign commies, no support for homegrown commies. Worked like that even before the Cold War.

I disagree. Most of the people in this country who express idiotic Marxist ideas have never read Marx, never met a card carrier.

At a bare minimum there are ten million communists and/or Marxists in America now of whom the majority were either born in America or arrived at any early age a long time ago.

Neutralizing their impact on American politics is the real goal, I don’t think there is currently much of a problem posed by immigrant communists although I agree you should keep them from entering.

What does that have to do with any points made here?

You aren’t disagreeing with what I asserted. Communism does not exist in a vacuum. Marx’s ideas would not have reached US shores without abuse of international travel, never mind the intertwining of international funding.

How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …

I guess they conveniently forgot that Obama did it also prior to Trump. The AP hasn’t told the truth in over 50 years. They’re worse than the National Enquirer as they are better funded.

“Keep them out”???

They run just about EVERYTHING in this country now.

Much too late to keep them out; they’re HERE.

Yes, you’re correct. Check the Cicero quote regarding the enemy within the gates.
