Experts say US immigration law already bars members of a Communist Party from becoming citizens or green card holders, but they say Trump might run into legal trouble if he tried to implement a blanket exclusion of all communists or Marxists.

I don’t know why anyone looked into constitutional law around immigration on this, because he is in no way trying to bar entry into the US of Russian nationals.
The communists of the former USSR who survived the Soviet state collapse are today’s Russian oligarchs - aka the only people who provide financial backing to the Trump crime family org.
This is clear telegraphing of an intent to jail or deport US citizens who are political critics or dissidents.
It’s not targeting Russia, it’s targeting China, his new boogie man. Many in the Chinese middle and upper classes looking to immigrate are part of the party. In the end those people would probably just renounce their membership to come in, making the ccp look bad and ratcheting up tensions with China.
