McCarran Walters Act, 1952, Prohibits the Immigration of Islamists

Editor's Note:  This appeared in P&D in April, 2016, and with what I've titled, "Biden Consequence" for future articles dealing with the disaster of a Biden presidency and a Democrat Congress, I've decided to re-run it.  The original link to this piece no longer works, and I have no idea who the original author was, but the Carter link provides more information.  Please enjoy.  RK

McCarran and Walter were Democrats. This act was created in 1952 and used by Carter 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 he deported a bunch. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States in 1979. You won’t hear a word about this from the liberal media, propaganda machine."

"It is of note that the act requires that an applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and “attached to the principles of the Constitution.”

 

 

 

 

 

OBAMA FORGOT ABOUT THIS LAW..

"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."
