Another cover-up, another Democratic cover-up in this case, in a long list of political cover-ups our gov't has sponsored over the years and American blood paid for them all.
Just like the people that are all uppity about Trumps vocal persistence that Muslims be vetted properly before allowed to immigrate to the US. Not only do they take his assertions to a new level by stating he wants to stop ALL Muslims from entering but they seem to forget that a very similar law already existed in our history.
And it was a Democrat sponsored law too.
The McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 revised America’s immigration laws. The law was hailed by supporters as a necessary step in preventing communist subversion in the United States, while opponents decried the legislation as being xenophobic and discriminatory. ( sound familiar ? )
The changes that were of more concern for many critics centered on the act’s provision of much more strenuous screening of potential immigrants. It banned admission to anyone declared a subversive by the attorney general and indicated that members of communist and “communist-front” organizations were subject to deportation. In defending the act, Senator McCarren declared, “If this oasis of the world should be overrun, perverted, contaminated, or destroyed, then the last flickering light of humanity will be extinguished.” President Harry S. Truman took a very different view, calling the legislation “un-American” and inhumane. When the bill was passed in June 1952, Truman vetoed the bill. Congress overrode his veto, and the act took effect in December. The McCarren-Walter Act set America’s immigration standards until new legislation was passed in 1965.
As a result of that change the influx of refugees and of millions of illegal immigrants over the last several decades have certainly contributed to the United States' profound demographic transformation. But the chief driver of this change remains the system of family-based immigration put in place in 1965. Over time, in a process critics call "chain migration," entire families have re-established themselves in the United States. Historian Otis Graham thinks the policy has been a terrible mistake.

Yes and it was all done by Democrats.
