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.

Overview of the 1952 Act
The 1952 Act was a product of the Cold War, shaped by Washington’s overriding obsession with containing Communism at home and in overseas sites like Asia. The legislation’s co-sponsors—House Republican Francis Walter (R-PA) and Senate Democrat Pat McCarran (D-NV)—were well-known anti-Communists and restrictionists. Both of these tendencies were reflected in the Act’s provisions, which gave the appearance of liberalization while actually circumscribing the civil rights and liberties of foreign-born Americans, particularly those suspected of holding subversive beliefs.
In the area of immigration, the Act retained the controversial national origins quota system, while introducing a system of preferences based on skill and family reunification that served as the basis for the 1965 Immigration Act. While the Asia-Pacific Triangle did extend nominal immigration quotas (in most cases, 100 per year) to all of Asia, the racial basis of the Asian immigration quotas ensured that the number of immigrants entering the U.S. from Asia would never increase significantly. The race-based nature of the Asian quotas was different from the nationality-based quotas assigned to European groups. Under this system, a person of Chinese ancestry entering the U.S. from Latin America would still count toward the Chinese quota regardless of nationality and place of birth.
Building upon the national security provisions of the 1950 McCarran Law, the 1952 Act expanded the power of the federal government to exclude, deport, and detain aliens deemed subversive or seen as holding subversive views. Even as the Act struck down race as a basis for citizenship eligibility, it strengthened the requirements for citizenship in other ways and made it easier for the government to denaturalize persons on the grounds of national security.
While broad-based in scope, the Act disproportionately benefited Japan, which received the largest annual immigration quota of 185 per year (compared to 100 for other Asian powers). At the time of its passage, more than 90% of the aliens made eligible for U.S. citizenship were Issei, or first-generation immigrants of Japanese descent. Committed to securing naturalization for aging Issei, the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) played an active role in lobbying for the bill’s passage, a decision for which it came under heavy criticism by other civil liberties and ethnic/racial organizations, including the NAACP, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance (CACA), and the second-generation Japanese American group, the Nisei Progressives. Presumptive racial ties linking Japanese Americans to Japan amplified the voice of Nisei lobbyists active in Washington, DC, including JACL Washington representative Mike Masaoka, who was seen by many U.S. officials as uniquely qualified to speak about the Act’s significance for U.S.-Japan relations.
