:The language of Section 212(e) of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. §1182(f), contains a sweeping authorization of presidential discretion to suspend and restrict alien entry into the United States. Senator Pat McCarran (D-NV) first introduced the subsection in 1950 as part of the omnibus immigration bill drafted by his Judiciary Committee’s immigration subcommittee. The specific origins of the language and the original intent behind the subsection remain missing pieces in the extensive scholarly literature on the 1952 INA and legislative history as explored by the courts. This article reveals that the subcommittee modeled the subsection on the sixth proviso of the 1917 Immigration Act, the May 1918 Wartime Measure, and a selective interpretation of Supreme Court precedent. The article reveals further that the original intent behind the subsection was to close perceived loopholes in existing law enabling entry by displaced persons and Communist governmental officials.

“不受约束的权利”？麦卡伦移民小组委员会和总统权力的起源根据 §1182(f) 暂停和限制外国人入境

: 1952 年移民和国籍法第 212(e) 条的语言，8 USC §1182(f)，包含总统自由裁量权的全面授权，以暂停和限制外国人进入美国。参议员 Pat McCarran (D-NV) 于 1950 年首次引入该小节，作为其司法委员会移民小组委员会起草的综合移民法案的一部分。该语言的具体起源和该小节背后的原始意图在法院探索的有关 1952 年 INA 和立法历史的广泛学术文献中仍然缺失。本文揭示了该小组委员会以 1917 年移民法的第六项但书、1918 年 5 月的战时措施以及对最高法院判例的选择性解释为模型。
