December 10, 2015 U.S. Immigration Law Is Racist Enough To Allow Trump’s Muslim Visitor Ban , 1 Comments

GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslims worldwide from visiting the United States isn’t likely to go anywhere. Met with wide criticism from both the left and the right, Trump’s proposal is overtly discriminatory and would be virtually impossible to enforce.
But experts consulted by The Huffington Post say it would be legal for the U.S. to enact such sweeping restrictions without violating the Constitution because the Supreme Court has upheld flatly racist immigration restrictions in the past.
Most notably, in 1889 the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Chinese Exclusion Act, a law passed in 1882 to prohibit Chinese laborers from entering the United States.
The U.S. had recruited laborers from China since the 1840s, according to Natsu Taylor Saito, a professor of law at Georgia State University. But in response to economic depression, Congress voted in 1882 to ban Chinese laborers from immigrating to the U.S. for 10 years. The Chinese Exclusion Act also forbade Chinese migrants from becoming American citizens.
