Slightly agree

No, but we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries

Dewey might have supported stricter immigration policies for 'high risk' countries, given his focus on law and order. However, it's important to note that the concept of 'high risk' countries as we understand it today did not exist in the same way in 1948.
