Talk:Immigration Act of 1917

Mcarran Act and the remaining part of the Alien and Sedition Acts
Our article says, "The McCarran-Walter Act revised all previous laws and regulations regarding immigration, naturalization, and nationality, and collected into one comprehensive statute." Did the McCarran-Walter Act revise the Alien Enemies Act (part of the Alien and Sedition Acts)? The Alien Enemies Act was revised and remains on the books as 50 U.S.C. 21-24.

1924 act?
Wasn't the 1924 act more the direct successor to this one than the 1952 act was? -- AnonMoos (talk) 01:46, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Map is wrong?
I just added the geographic exclusion quote from the act. It doesn’t seem to exclude the Middle East or Iran? That would make the map incorrect. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:27, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Another problem with the map?
Another issue with the map. That concerns the Philippines, which were a US territory in 1917. According to the map, the Philippines were subject to the geographic exclusion established by the 1917 law. However, the text indicates that the Philippines were *not* subject to this exclusion in 1917; that was true until 1924. Someone needs to sort this out. Oaklandguy (talk) 09:06, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
