Carter Banned Iranians from Coming to US During Hostage Crisis

[ScienceRocks]

No,,,, Wasn't part of this crazy world at the time.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

That was during the 70's, right?

I've forgotten most of it.

 

[BIG YANK BAL 1976]

Yea Carter had a forgettable Presidency, high inflation, stagnant unemployment, and the 79 Hostage crisis, long gas lines, etc, just too much negative shit in the late 70's, basically that's why America fired Carter, then hired Reagan which led to the trickle down BULLSHIT

Well, that explains the naiveté of most of your posts and I mean no disrespect. Pro-Hillary, from Portland, still believes in big government and too young to remember the bad old days. Obama's train wreck isn't good enough for you so you want more under a third term with Hillary. Bless your little heart.

Carter repatriated all of Iran's upper class military men who were in the U.S. going through training. All the young Iranian men in Air Force pilot training tried their best to extend their training by hook or by crook to keep from going back to certain death. No plea was dire enough to sway the Carter administration. No refugee status. (Too bad they weren't Cubans). They were all sent back. Most were executed.

Too bad you couldn't have lived back then Mat. To support Hillary, you must not have been around in the early 90's when the Clintons were working 24/7 to debase the White House and send jobs overseas.

Ah, to be young again.

that was different and ok

jimmy is a democrat

Jimmy Carter's ban on Iranian nationals--from a country that had attacked our embassy in Tehran--was far different than what Trump is calling for.

Anyone making a false equivalency between the two is either being stupid or disingenuous.

None

What Trump is calling for has to be done.

Trump has consistently called for banning Muslims from countries that have a high rate of Jihadi activity, so it is EXACTLY the same you fucking liar.

Horowitz: Donald Trump's Speech Is a Game Changer - Breitbart
Trump showed how strategic securing the border is, how important stopping immigration from terror zones like Syria is, and how deadly political correctness has become.

oh the irony.

You mean AFTER Iran took 52 Americans hostage? Or do you just leave that part out?

 

[bucs90]

Holy shit.....so Jimmy Carter was a xenophobic racist too???

Hey libs....one of your greatest icons was a racist xenophobic. How bout that?

So.... this means that 52 hostages taken has to precede a ban. 50 killed and that many more injured isn't enough?

oh the irony.

It was wrong and a clusterfck which was fairly quickly fixed. I was in grad school with two Iranian women, who were scared to death of having to return, where they knew the fate that awaited them: rape

Trump is not calling for the expulsion of Muslims. He is calling for the blocking of new Muslim immigrants from certain areas of the world until we can come up with a solution to better vet those that wish to reside here in the US.

Do you have a better plan?

and lets be honest....the "lets build bridges with the Muslim leaders to combat domestic Islamic terrorism" rhetoric is just that....rhetoric. 8 years of that crap and we still have no bridges built.

Seems they aint interested.

The body count of dead Americans at the hands of Muslims in the US is in the thousands. This shit should have been stopped long ago. The PC weenies have far too much power.
