Well, actually Keith is good for the conservative cause! He and Maxine Waters are some of our best people!

I have to admit total ignorance. I think you guys see something that has gone over my head. I am at a loss to understand not so much how but who with power and authority would invoke these laws globally to the level of exclusion being discussed here?


CDM, doesn’t need to be invoked globally just here @ home.
Bad booby is worried that he’ll be on the first transport out.

I read 414 again and just can't see the language that you guys see. Obviously, I am missing something. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this whole Muslim thing evolves. In the meantime, it's been a good debate ... thanks.

Not quite...stop all mooslime immigration, also.

In 1952 a law WAS PASSED PROHIBITING MUSLIMS TO IMMIGRATE INTO THE UNITED STATES.

Obama ignored that law and many others yet nothing was done about it because the socialists democrats had control.

Old; I have read this thing (414) until I'm blind and I cannot find the language that prohibits Muslims specifically from immigrating. Can you tell me where you found it?

You got a vacation & BM for continued abuse here ? How surprising? Maybe if you tried being an adult it wouldn’t happen.

The Naturalization Act of 1790, which limited citizenship to “any alien, being a free white person,” drastically restricted the ability of Muslims to become citizens. The requirement meant that immigrants seeking lawful residence and citizenship were compelled to convince authorities that they fit within the statutory definition of whiteness. Arabs, along with Italians, Jews and others, were forced to litigate their identities in line with prevailing conceptions of whiteness — which fluctuated according to geographic origin, physical appearance and religion. Courts unwaveringly framed Islam as hostile to American ideals and society, casting Muslim immigrants as outside the bounds of whiteness and a threat to the identity and national security of the United States.

The dismantling of the Naturalization Act and immigration quotas opened the door to immigrant Muslims from various corners of the Arab world, South Asia and Africa, boosting the U.S. Muslim population from 200,000 in 1951 to more than 1 million in 1971.

Today in the United States, Islam is practiced by 8 million people, a growth rate higher than any other faith group. But the threat of the Islamic State and intensifying Islamophobia has Trump, more openly than any other politician, actively revisiting America’s dark chapter of xenophobia and anti-Muslim animus.

In that sense, “Make America Great Again” is far more than a campaign slogan. It is a racial plea that evokes a time in the United States when whiteness was the legal hallmark of American citizenship, and Muslim identity the embodiment of everything un-American.

Islam is not a race, it is an ideology, therefore there can be no islamophobia. On banning mooslimes from coming to America, I will agree with trumpy. Islam is not compatible with the US Constitution.

That law, limiting citizenship to white folks was overturned by the 14th amendment. That is the ruling law.
