If you're a communist or other totalitarian, don't bother trying to get a green card in the US?

if you answer yes on the genocide and torture questions, they send you an appllication to join the CIA

And people still attempt to "reclaim" totalitarianism as an idea for the left to use lmao.

Foreign communists, and others whose potential visits to the U.S. were considered to be not in the best interest of the United States, were prohibited entry into the country. The Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950 barred from entry into the U.S. all those who advocated ‘the economic, international and governmental doctrines of world communism or […] of any other form of totalitarianism’.

Past or present membership in the Communist Party was deemed sufficient to prohibit entry. Moreover, for purposes of this Act past membership in Nazi or fascist parties were not considered to be included under the definition of ‘totalitarian’.

My wife is doing this green card stuff, I’m her sponsor, and three of the questions because she’s from China are explicitly about the CPC and their youth outreach arms.

I am trying to imagine the kind of person who would actually answer yes to any of these questions.

"Yes, now you ask I'm actually coming to do money laundering, drugs and terrorism. Thank you for asking"
