Obama banned Iraq immigration, Carter banned Iranian

[teapartysamurai]

And guess what? The liberals were silent.

Trump bans Syrian, and EVERYONE GOES INSANE!!!!!!!!!!

It's totally political, totally fake, and proves totally how STUPID liberals are.

Either they don't know Obama did the same thing. or they don't care.

It's just about protesting a Republican.

Stop letting them get away with it.

Bullshit premise. Trump claimed it, you mindlessly posted it but fact checkers find stark differences between what happened under Obama and what Trump did with Executive Order:

Fact check: Trump's claim that his refugee policy is similar to Obama's in 2011

Trump’s facile claim that his refugee policy is similar to Obama’s in 2011

I'm not making any claim. Obama DID have an immigration ban.

Yes you are and no he didn't stupid.


Former Obama administration Jon Finer denied there was any ban in Iraqi refugees admissions put in place under Obama. “While the flow of Iraqi refugees slowed significantly during the Obama administration’s review, refugees continued to be admitted to the United States during that time, and there was not a single month in which no Iraqis arrived here,” he wrote in Foreign Policy. “In other words, while there were delays in processing, there was no outright ban.”

Obama put a hold on immigration from Iraq, that's all Trump has done.

Nice try guys but you are trying to snatch at straws.

FLASHBACK: Obama Suspended Iraq Refugee Program for Six Months Over Terrorism Fears in 2011 - Breitbart

Are you fucking retarded?

I just posted you direct sourcing from someone that specifically dealt with Iraqi refugees during Obama's term and he states in no uncertain terms that there was no outright ban, only slowdowns due to longer vetting process. Fo you to claim that there was six month stop of Iraqis coming is PURE BULLSHIT.

ONE MORE TIME, so you can maybe read it:

And one more time you ignore the fact that Obama DID put holds on immigration.

Which is EXACTLY what Trump has done.

So, get in more of a hissy fit and address it.

Can you point me to any month where Iraqis didn't travel into United States?

If you can't, STFU, there was no ban.

Sorry, Mr. President: The Obama Administration Did Nothing Similar to Your Immigration Ban

Leaving aside the unusual nature of team Trump looking to his predecessors’ policies for cover, it seems worth pointing out this statement obscures enormous differences between the executive order the White House issued on Friday and what the Obama administration did. Here are six important points of differentiation:

1. Scope: The Obama administration conducted a review in 2011 of the vetting procedures applied to citizens of a single country (Iraq) and then only to refugees and applicants for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), created by Congress to help Iraqis (and later Afghans) who supported the United States in those conflicts. The Trump executive order, on the other hand, applies to seven countries with total population more than 130 million, and to virtually every category of immigrant other than diplomats, including tourists and business travelers.

2. Rationale: The Obama administration’s 2011 review came in response to specific threat information, including the arrest in Kentucky of two Iraqi refugees, still the only terrorism-related arrests out of about 130,000 Iraqi refugees and SIV holders admitted to the United States. Thus far the Trump administration has provided no evidence, nor even asserted, that any specific information or intelligence has led to its draconian order.

"The Grabber" has turned governing into a wrestlemania promo.

Big problem with that.

A) Liberals are saying the scope was different, (in that it wasn't as big) and YET they are complaining Trump's scope isn't big enough because he doesn't include Saudi Arabia and other countries.

Make up your minds!!!!!

Google

(a plethora of lib sources complaining Trump's scope wasn't big enough)

B) The rationale????????

Oh, so if you can't RATIONALIZE it so it makes liberals happy, it's okay. Doesn't matter it results in the same thing, it's okay.

Sorry libs that's just a load of BS to excuse why you guys said NOTHING when Obama did it;.

I just did, READ!

In 2013, ABC News first revealed that two years earlier, the State Department had imposed a freeze over the processing of Iraqi refugees for six months. The halt was the result of the discovery of two al-Qaida members admitted as refugees from Iraq who were living in Bowling Green, Kentucky and who had admitted to targeting U.S. troops in Iraq.

ABC News reported on the six month refugee freeze (emphasis added):

As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets.

Nice attempted deflection.

Scope is different because Obama's was focused.

"Bottom line: No immigration vetting system is perfect, no matter how “extreme.” Obama often said that his highest priority was keeping Americans safe. In keeping with America’s tradition and ideals, he also worked to establish a vetting system that worked more fairly and efficiently, particularly for refugees who are, by definition, in harm’s way. Trump should defend his approach on the merits, if he can. He should not compare it to his predecessor’s."

There was NO STOPPAGE OF iraqis coming into united sttates

From your link:

As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets. One Iraqi who had aided American troops was assassinated before his refugee application could be processed, because of the immigration delays, two U.S. officials said. In 2011, fewer than 10,000 Iraqis were resettled as refugees in the U.S., half the number from the year before, State Department statistics show.

Meaning that there was a six month DELAY for the line to get in as refugees as a result of new vetting process, but there was never any travel ban, or announcement of said ban, from that country for non-Americans.

You have to purposefully shut off your mind to keep trying to plead that what Trump did is comparable. He issued order not to check people better, he issued order to STOP ALL TRAVEL for non-American citizens from that country and even strand people in the airports.
