1952: Not a pleasant time as I remember it. My Republican grandparents, who raised me, did not like McCarthy, nor did Ike when he became president.
" …
At the time, the U.S. was embroiled in the Cold War and deep in the so-called “Red Scare,” the anti-Communist effort led by the zealous Republican Senator from Wisconsin Joseph McCarthy, whose quest to root out communist sympathizers included targeting immigrants. Espionage was a major concern of the era, as was the threat that foreigners might bring radical ideas into the country from outside. And so the sponsors of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, Democrats Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada and Rep. Francis Walter of Pennsylvania, argued that the nation needed a new kind of immigration law for national security purposes.
The language of the EO is clearly out of compliance with law and the Constitution, which is why even Trump today is saying they need to take it back and rewrite it! Funny thing about that.
Shillary lost. America won. Get over it. Go back to crying and watch America become great again, contrary to your efforts to keep it down with the rest of the lowlife.
The United States, by the Constitution, is required to respect the rights of all people, everywhere. It doesn’t ever mention the words “ONLY VALID IN US TERRITORY” anywhere in the document. If we start making a list of who is or is not protected from the government by the Constitution it is a worthless rag.

Funny how a travel ban was OK when Obama did it to the same places as Trump.

RWNJs just don’t realize that America is still GREAT! They’ve fallen prey to ‘hucksterism’ and fear mongering!
