The meme "ISLAM WAS BANNED FROM THE USA IN 1952" claimed that adherence to
Islam and/or Sharia law constituted definitive membership within an
"organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by
'force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.'" Multiple non-factual
statements or implications were presented in the meme, including the notions
that all Muslims strictly adhere to Sharia law, that Sharia law is a cohesive
faith-based form of governance, that adherence to Sharia law is mutually
exclusive with adherence to the laws of the United States, that Islam in some
way demands the eventual overthrow of the United States government, or that any
"organization" to which Muslims purportedly belong by merit of their faith
somehow places them under the provisions of section 212 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1952. Not one of those assertions or implications is
supported by extant law, precedent, or any accepted interpretation of Islam,
United States immigration policy, or the act in question.

McCarran-WalterAct of 1952 Donald Trumpwas recentlyseverelycriticized
forsuggestingthat the U.S.should limitor temporarilysuspend theimmigration
ofcertain ethnicgroups,nationalities,and evenpeople
ofcertainreligions(Muslims). Thecriticismscondemned sucha suggestionas,
amongother things,being“Un-American,”dumb, stupid,reckless,dangerous andracist.
Congressmenand Senatorsswore thatthey wouldnever allowsuchlegislation,and
Obamacalled such aprohibitionon immigrationunconstitutional. AsGomer Pylewould
say,“Surprise,Surprise!!!” Itseems that theselectiveimmigrationban is
alreadylaw and hasbeen appliedon severaloccasions.
TheImmigrationandNationalityAct of 1952,a.k.a.,the McCarran-WalterAct allowsfor
the"Suspension ofentry orimposition ofrestrictionsby the president”. Whenever
thepresidentfinds that theentry ofaliens or ofany class ofaliens intothe
UnitedStates wouldbe detrimentalto theinterests ofthe UnitedStates,
thepresident may,byproclamation,and for suchperiod as heshall
deemnecessary,suspend theentry of allaliens or anyclass ofaliens asimmigrants
ornon immigrantsor impose onthe entry ofaliens any restrictionshe may deem
tobeappropriate.” Notethat McCarranand Walterwere Democratsand this actwas
utilizedby JimmyCarter, noless, in 1979to keepIranians outof the
UnitedStates…but heactually didmore. Hemade allIranianstudentsalready
herecheck in, andthen hedeported abunch. Seventhousand werefound inviolation
oftheir visas,15,000Iranians wereforced toleave theUnited Statesin 1979.
Youwon't hear aword aboutthis from theliberal media,propagandamachine. Itis of
notethat the actrequires thatan applicantforimmigration”mustbe of
goodmoralcharacter”and "attachedto theprinciples oftheConstitution.” Sincethe
QuranforbidsMuslims toswearallegiance tothe U.S.Constitution,technically,all
