The Immigration and Nationality Act should stay for the purpose of national security. We need responsible immigration laws.

I motion this fine senate to delay this vote for 72 hours pending the outcome of this weekends special election and hearings regarding DC's replacement?

The statutes being repealed here are largely relics from a bygone era, and I think TNF has done well to unearth them. It's always wise to do a review of old laws and long-forgotten statutes so that we might weed out what is no longer necessary or, in some cases, undemocratic. 

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 is still needed for the sake of national security.

I disagree. In fact, it was originally vetoed on the grounds that it was borderline racist. It has been amended many times IRL.

"National security" is far too vague for me.

It was amended to prevent and correct the perceived racial parts while preserving the parts giving the government the power to deport after convicting those foreign nationals of serious crime. We need to keep the good parts.
