US Did Not Ban All Muslims from Immigrating

As is circulating in the news and on social media, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 did effectively ban Muslims from entering the country. Since then, the act has been effectively repealed and millions of Muslims now live in the United States. However, the act remains in place on paper, and to (implicitly) accuse individual politicians of having a vested interest (or “agenda”) in the legislation that they pass is a claim that cannot be proven either way.
