Prologue Dr. Morris:

I well remember the passing of this legislation, already progressing in my college career and military service.  Since then, 8 around the world trips, passport stamped in 157 countries, travel on every continent, including both Arctic and Antarctic. 

As far as I know, field grade Army officer, without any taint on my record, I still was documented at every country I ever visited.  There were countries in which I had to list every article in my possession, account for money, even jewelry (watch, rings, cameras, etc) before entering and leaving.  There were countries in which border agents demanded bribes, even money for me to get my luggage.  But, with all these indignities to my travel, I observed all their laws and gave the very best possible version of myself and my country. 

Now, all these many years later (I stopped world travel in 1985 when it  had become impossible for me to manage airports), as a totally blind, 100% disabled, medical officer veteran it is beyond my comprehension that my country has become so indifferent to those who invade with almost impunity.  The history is replete about the destruction of nations who forget to guard their borders and their values.  How many terrorist acts will it take in America, how many killings before even liberal democrats awaken to what is happening to God, family, and country?

Below is a message to Dr. Morris from one of his friends:

Folks,

Wouldn't it be interesting if, at some point during the Presidential
campaign, one of the candidates asked, "Oh, by the way, has anyone
in Washington DC ever heard of the McCarran-Walter Act Of 1952?

I did not know of this Act until recently, but it has been a law for
almost 65 years.

Here are the historic facts that would seem to indicate that many, if
not most, 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.

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 our President called such a prohibition on
immigration unconstitutional.

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.

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 of 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, 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."

Who do you suppose last used this process?

Why it was president Jimmy Carter, no less than 37 years ago, in 1979,
to keep Iranians out of the United States.

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.

So, what say you about all of the criticism that Donald Trump received
from the Democrat Senators, Representatives and the Obama
Administration?

Additionally, it is important to note that the McCarran-Walter Act
also requires that an "applicant for immigration must be of good
moral character and in agreement with the principles of our
Constitution."

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.
