All of you loons complaining about what Mr. Trump said about Muslims should know that a 1952 law gave presidents the authority to bar any immigrants or illegals from entering this country; the law was used in 1979 by President Carter during the Iranian affair to bar Iranians from coming into the United States.

The liberal media loons, Democrat and Republican establishment politicians and others have implied that Mr. Trump has proposed something that is unconstitutional. The law was ratified by a Democrat Congress and a Democrat president; so please shut the hell up.
