The Immigration Act of 1917, barred "all idiots & imbeciles, feeble-minded persons, epileptics, insane persons, ... persons with chronic alcoholism; paupers, & professional beggars, and those with tuberculosis" It barred ... "felons, polygamists, prostitutes & their traffickers." Trump & Bannon's Immigration Act of 2017 bars Muslims, able-bodied Muslims, needy Muslims, starving Muslims, fleeing Muslims. Muslims in refugee camps, student doctor Muslims, short-sighted Muslims, limping Muslims, school-teacher Muslims, ordinary Muslims, in a word, Muslims.
