What Does Extreme Vetting Look Like?

  1. Totally spot on. The actual refugees are just the tip of the iceberg.

    Let them stay in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, ie closer countries with similar cultures. Plus, it's a lot cheaper so more can be taken in.

    The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1952

    Trump's recent XO referenced this act, although im not sure which version, as it has been tweaked a lot since '52, most notably in 1965 and again in 1990.

    In '52 it was billed by two Democrats ( McCarran and Walter) and sent to Democrat President Truman who veto'd it, only to have his veto overridden by both houses of congress.

    The phrasing that would have applied to Mohamedan demons was a prohibition against anyone with more than one wife.

    Most interesting are the statements made about the bill by both President Falseman and the acts originators:

    Sound familiar?

    Before this Act, a variety of statutes governed immigration law but were not organized within one body of text.
