First of all, I am talking about "The McCarran-Walter Act of 1952" as it may apply to MUSLIMS. What is the McCarren (sic) Act of which you refer? Also, The McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 was never thought of as the anti-communist act, nor was I referring to communists in my authenticated statements; that is your interpretation. I wasn't talking about President Truman, who , by the way, was overruled by Congress with regards to enforcing the Act. Lastly, Olga, how does Senator Joseph McCarthy relate to my article? How do you know if the Senator "LOVED IT" or not.<br /><br />Yes, I think you need to say more, --- more comments on point.<br /><br />Just because you hate President Donald Trump for any number of many reasons, and I may even agree with some of them, --- it doesn't mean that you must automatically denigrate other people's opinions. It is not a healthy way to look upon factual matters and spew such hate.<br /><br />EDWARD J. ROSS EDWARD J.

May I add to it?
Some...Interesting article, Stew. May I add to it?<br /><br />Someone should let the judge from Washington state know about this. This little gem should go VIRAL! What? --- the McCarran-Walter Act.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be interesting if, at some point during his Presidential term, Donald Trump asked, "Oh, by the way, has anyone in Washington DC ever heard of the McCarran-Walter Act Of 1952?" It has been a law for almost 65 years.<br /><br />Here are the historic facts that would seem to indicate that many of the people we elect to work for us in Washington DC do NOT have the slightest idea of what laws already exist in OUR country.<br /><br />After several terrorist incidents were carried out in the United States, Donald Trump was 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 President Obama called such a prohibition on immigration "unconstitutional".<br /><br />As Gomer Pyle would say, "Well, Surprise, Surprise!" It seems that the selective immigration ban is already law and has been applied on several occasions.<br /><br />Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President, whenever the President finds that the entry of aliens or 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 a period as he shall deem necessary, may suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose any restrictions on the entry of aliens he may deem to be appropriate."<br /><br />And who do you suppose last utilized this process? Why it was Democrat President Jimmy Carter, no less then 37 years ago, in 1979, to keep Iranians out of the United States.<br /><br />But he actually did more. He made ALL Iranian students, already in the United States, check in with the government. And then he deported a bunch of them. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, and a total of 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the USA in 1979.<br /><br />So, what say you about all of the criticism that Donald Trump received from the Democrat Senators, Representatives and Obama.<br /><br />Additionally, it is important to note that the McCarron-Walter Act also requires: that an "applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and in AGREEMENT with the principles of our Constitution."<br /><br />Therefore, one could surmise that since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically, ALL Muslims should be refused immigration to OUR country.<br /><br />All of this information was taken from an authenticated article in the National Library.<br /><br />EDWARD J.

Those labels may be okay for some, but they are too simplistic to properly describe many people. The following is what I wrote a friend in Massachusetts who is more "liberal" than I. We respect each other's views and learn from each other. He replied in this instance that I had a point.<br /><br />"But what do you do, Bob, when the Trade Center and 3000 innocent persons die, and there is terror incident after terror incident, many now "close to home" to many of us (Boston Marathon to you, Ft. Lauderdale airport and Orlando to me)? And when nearly all of the terror is traceable either directly or indirectly to an extreme Jihadic portion of Islam? Do you just stand by and let it keep happening? Doesn't the president have a responsibility to protect the citizens of this country? I would suggest when his responsibility to do this conficts with heartfelt desire to help refugees that the first takes precedence. These are very tough decisions for a leader with a heart to make.<br /><br /><br />"Bring it closer to home and what WE would do in a similar situation: We are parents, have three little kids, and live in a neighborhood that has become overrun by gangs of young toughs. Shall we spend our time and money trying to help others in the neighborhood to the neglect of the safety of our own children? Would you? Would you be off at a neighbor's "helping out" while leaving your own little charges to walk home from school unescorted? The first isn't wrong--if you can do it without jeopardizing the second, which is your prime responsibility, don't you think?"<br /><br />--Lanny Howe<br /><br />Lanny Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316655375983324169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930527465259987110.post-261530020524256152017-02-12T11:14:35.333-05:002017-02-12T11:14:35.333-05:00DEFINITION OF A CONSERVATIVE
