The leftist media would have you believe that Donald Trump is too reactionary, too racist, and too xenophobic to be president. Unfortunately for liberals, history is at odds with their claims.
President Theodore Roosevelt, also a Republican, signed a bill that banned practicing Muslims from entering the United States after he won the election in 1904. He won that election with 336 electoral votes, 190 more than his challenger, Alton B. Parker.
Sure, times have changed in the past hundred years, but polling data suggests that Trump’s ban, even in its most controversial form, is supported by the majority of the United States. It’s another fact that the mainstream media conveniently forgets when attacking the President’s actions.

Pres. Theodore Roosevelt Non-Islam Immigration Law –1907
Immigration Act of 1907
The Law: Federal legislation regulating immigration
Date: Signed into law on February 20, 1907
Significance: This law created the Dillingham Commission to collect data used in future immigration laws, further narrowed Asian immigration, limited Muslim immigration, and expanded the definition of undesirable women immigrants.
In 1905, amid continuing concerns over increased immigration, President Theodore Roosevelt called upon the U.S. Congress to increase protection from unwanted immigration, especially in the nation’s largest cities, and to codify earlier legislation. Roosevelt and Congress sought to exclude immigrants who would not make good citizens. In February, 1907, Congress passed a new immigration act that expanded previous immigration restrictions by prohibiting Asians from entering the United States through the territory of Hawaii, doubled the immigration head tax to four dollars per person, broadened the excludable classes of immigrants to include contract labor and subversive and presumably immoral groups, and required ships to allow minimum amounts of deck space for each passenger and to provide manifests of their departing aliens.
Section 39 of the new law created the U.S. Immigration Commission—better known as the Dillingham Commission—to investigate immigration problems and their impact on the nation. The commission provided detailed reports to future Congresses regarding the need for refining immigration laws. The commission called on Congress to put the economic well-being of U.S. citizens above the needs of corporations that relied heavily on uneducated immigrants for cheap labor. The commission also favored further limiting immigration, implementing an alien literacy test, and continuing the Chinese exclusion policy and restricting Japanese and Korean immigration. The commissioners argued that Congress should limit the admission of unskilled aliens and implement a quota system.
The Immigration Act of 1907 was notable for several key innovations regarding immigration policy. Section 12 required ships with alien passengers departing the United States to provide complete lists of their passengers by name, age, sex, nationality, occupation, and place of residence in the United States. The information gathered through this law provided the first statistical documentation on alien departures. To combat the practice of polygamy and the keeping of concubines, the act expanded on the Immigration Act of 1891, which denied entry to polygamists, to include any persons who espoused these practices. The Ottoman Empire viewed these provisions as an attack on Islamic religious practices.
Women were a particular target of the 1907 law, which broadened the definition of prostitutes to include women arriving in the United States for any immoral purposes. The vague language of the law was used to exclude women in arranged marriages, especially those of Asian origin, and allowed for their deportation. Responding to concerns of progressive reformers, the act tightened laws targeting immigrant women suspected of being recruited to work as prostitutes. It also permitted the deportation of women who lived in known houses of prostitution or who had practiced prostitution within three years of their entering the United States. This was the first statutory provision authorizing deportation based on criminal conduct within the United States.

Flashback: Roosevelt Bans “Entire Mohammedan World” From Immigrating to USA
The leftist media would have you believe that Donald Trump is too reactionary, too racist, and too xenophobic to become president, and they usually point toward Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim aliens to prove their point. (Trump has since changed his ban to a restriction on any individual coming to the United States from a country compromised from terrorism.) Unfortunately, history is at odds with the left’s claims.
President Theodore Roosevelt, also a Republican, signed a bill that banned practicing Muslims from entering the United States after he won the election in 1904. He won that election with 336 electoral votes, 190 more than his challenger, Alton B. Parker.
Sure, times have changed in the past hundred years, but polling data suggests that Trump’s ban, even in its most controversial form, was supported by the majority of the United States. It’s another fact that the mainstream media conveniently forgets when attacking the GOP nominee.
See details on Roosevelt’s implicit ban on the next page:
Donald Trump came under fire late last year when he proposed a ban on immigration by foreign aliens — but he’s not the first person to do so. In fact, it was done by a sitting president.
A hundred years ago, Muslims were furious over an immigration bill whose origins lay with advocacy by a headstrong and loudmouthed Republican in the White House.
The anti-immigration bill offended the Ottoman Empire, the rotting Caliphate of Islam soon to be defeated at the hands of America and the West, by banning the entry of “all polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy.”
This, as was pointed out at the time, would prohibit the entry of the “entire Mohammedan world” into the United States.
And indeed it would.
The battle had begun earlier when President Theodore Roosevelt had declared in his State of the Union address back in 1906 that Congress needed to have the power to “deal radically and efficiently with polygamy.” The Immigration Act of 1907, signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt, had banned “polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy.”
It was the last part that was most significant because it made clear what had only been implied.
The Immigration Act of 1891 had merely banned polygamists. The newest law banned anyone who believed in the practice of polygamy. That group included every faithful believing Muslim.

The left seems to have forgotten this piece of legislation when attacking Trump’s credibility. While they’d likely relish any opportunity to attack a Republican — even one from a hundred years ago — it doesn’t serve their immediate goals. They don’t seem to care about principle, they only want to destroy Trump and send Hillary Clinton to the White House.
Theodore Roosevelt has the perfect answer for today’s Muslim Migrant immigration crisis !
“We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
by Geoffrey Grider
THERE CAN BE NO DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE HERE. ANY MAN WHO SAYS HE IS AN AMERICAN, BUT SOMETHING ELSE ALSO, ISN’T AN AMERICAN AT ALL
America, a nation built on immigrants, has before been faced with a migrant crisis a time or two. But unlike how our leaders chose to handle it in 2015, our leaders a century ago had a much different perspective on things. Immigration is good for any nation, but multiculturalism is always the kiss of death. Listen to the words of the great American president, Teddy Roosevelt, and what his thoughts were on immigrants from any culture entering our borders, it’s quite enlightening.
“IN THE FIRST PLACE, WE SHOULD INSIST THAT IF THE IMMIGRANT WHO COMES HERE IN GOOD FAITH BECOMES AN AMERICAN AND ASSIMILATES HIMSELF TO US, HE SHALL BE TREATED ON AN EXACT EQUALITY WITH EVERYONE ELSE, FOR IT IS AN OUTRAGE TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY SUCH MAN BECAUSE OF CREED, OR BIRTHPLACE, OR ORIGIN. BUT THIS IS PREDICATED UPON THE PERSON’S BECOMING IN EVERY FACET AN AMERICAN, AND NOTHING BUT AN AMERICAN … THERE CAN BE NO DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE HERE. ANY MAN WHO SAYS HE IS AN AMERICAN, BUT SOMETHING ELSE ALSO, ISN’T AN AMERICAN AT ALL. WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE FLAG, THE AMERICAN FLAG … WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE LANGUAGE HERE, AND THAT IS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE … AND WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE SOLE LOYALTY AND THAT IS A LOYALTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.” – TEDDY ROOSEVELT, 1907
In other words, what Roosevelt was saying as it is applied to today’s America, is that Muslims or any other vettedpeople group are welcome, but only as it relates to them becoming American citizens.
Make allowances for Sharia Law? NO. Change our customs to suit Muslim customs? NO. Ban pork from any restaurant? NO. Tell women to dress more modestly because it offends Muslims? NO. Make newspapers and magazines stop publishing things offensive to Muslims? NO. Change anything at all because Muslims don’t like it? NO. I could go on but you get the idea.
My own grandfather came to Ellis Island in 1923, from Scotland, and he came with an accent so thick you could barely understand him, beautiful as it was. But he became an American with Scottish roots, and not a Scottish-America. Makes a big difference where you place the word, doesn’t it? Teddy Roosevelt also had this to say about “hyphenated” Americans:
“THERE IS NO ROOM IN THIS COUNTRY FOR HYPHENATED AMERICANISM. WHEN I REFER TO HYPHENATED AMERICANS, I DO NOT REFER TO NATURALIZED AMERICANS. SOME OF THE VERY BEST AMERICANS I HAVE EVER KNOWN WERE NATURALIZED AMERICANS, AMERICANS BORN ABROAD. BUT A HYPHENATED AMERICAN IS NOT AN AMERICAN AT ALL. THIS IS JUST AS TRUE OF THE MAN WHO PUTS “NATIVE” BEFORE THE HYPHEN AS OF THE MAN WHO PUTS GERMAN OR IRISH OR ENGLISH OR FRENCH BEFORE THE HYPHEN. AMERICANISM IS A MATTER OF THE SPIRIT AND OF THE SOUL. OUR ALLEGIANCE MUST BE PURELY TO THE UNITED STATES. WE MUST UNSPARINGLY CONDEMN ANY MAN WHO HOLDS ANY OTHER ALLEGIANCE.” – TEDDY ROOSEVELT, NEW YORK CITY, 1912
Once you allow for multiculturalism, like England has done, the death of your own culture is sure to follow. Mass immigration has left Britain an “unrecognisable” country that many people would not want to leave to their children and grandchildren, Nigel Farage has said. In one of his strongest attacks on immigration policy, he said the arrival of migrants has some British people feeling that parts of the country are now alien to them.
Teddy Roosevelt has the answer as to how we handle today’s Muslim immigration problem, if only we would heed his words. But I wonder what he would say about having a Muslim in the White House?
