This is 100% true and last used in 1979 . I had forgotten about this. Donald Trumps stance on Muslims is not wrong or without Merit. ...jim

Let’s dust this one off and enforce it!

A very interesting bit of Legislative History: The McCarran-Walter Act of 1952

Donald Trump was recently severely criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims). The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being “Un-American,” dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist. Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and Obama called such a prohibition on immigration unconstitutional (as if, all of a sudden, he gives a damn about the Constitution).

As Gomer Pyle would say, “Surprise, Surprise!!!” It seems that the selective immigration ban is already law and has been applied on several occasions. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, aka, the McCarran-Walter Act allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the president. Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president 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.”

Note that McCarran was a Democrat and that this act was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States—but he actually did more! He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then deported a bunch. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, and 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States in 1979. But, you won't hear a word about this from the liberal media propaganda machine.

It is of note too that the act requires that an applicant for immigration ”must be of good moral character” and "attached to the principles of the Constitution.” SINCE THE QURAN FORBIDS MUSLIMS TO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, TECHNICALLY, ALL MUSLIMS SHOULD BE REFUSED IMMIGRATION.
