BO Banned ALL Iraqi Refugees from Entering U.S. for 6 Mos. in 2011


Posted: Jan 29, 2017

Where was all the liberal outrage, wailing, and gnashing of teeth when Obama banned Iraqi refugees from entering the U.S. in 2011?!

 

MORE HYPOCRISY: Obama Banned all Iraqi Refugees for 6 Months in 2011 – Liberals SAID NOTHING!

Protests erupted at JFK’s terminal 4 on Saturday after incoming refugees were detained by customs and border patrol agents following Trump’s executive order temporarily banning refugees from 7 Muslim countries.

Of course, back in 2011 when Barack Obama banned Iraqi refugees for six months the far left said nothing!

In 2011 the US discovered Al-Qaeda terrorists living as refugees in Kentucky.

In 2011 the US discovered Al-Qaeda terrorists living as refugees in Kentucky.  (video)

As a result of this discovery the Obama administration blocked all Iraqi refugees from entering the US for six months.

 
There were no protests.
 

The left said nothing.

ABC reported:
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.

Teddy Roosevelt bannded Muslims. FDR was Trump - on steroids. Many presidents have put a

pause on immigration, to let the ones here integrate, become Americanized.

Not a peep from the whitewashing DNC about their hero FDR.

But what did Republicans say? - anonymouse

I am sure they howled just to howl about anything Obama did. If you are pointing out that he did so and are so sure Trump is doing the right thing, then you must feel that Obama did something right? I do notice as have several others that Trump did not include any countries that the Trump company does business with, i.e. Saudi Arabia, Egypt... Curiouser and curiouser...

Better question. Did the left support Obama on this - ban? There were no protests by the left.

So two Democrat Presidents (Carter & Obama) halted Muslim immigration and the media ignore. One Republican puts a stay on Muslim immigration and the media is apoplectic.

I don't recall CAIR suing Obama either.

Not really a better question - anonymouse

I see that Trump is teaching his supporters well - smoke and mirrors - point the finger at the other side.

people I know were okay with it.

Fast forward to today. We have thousands upon thousands of Muslims unvetted in the US today.

Obama has refused to explain how his administration’s security-related pause on processing Iraq refugee is any different than the Muslims.

Is Germany safer after allowing over a million Muslim - refugees into their nation?

Pres. Trump is not suspending vias from countries his - team selected,they are simply

[ In Reply To ..]
suspending visa approval from countries President Obama selected.

Additionally, Trump is suspending ALL visa applications from those countries – nothing to do with Muslim applications.

In 2013 President Obama suspended refugees from Iraq for six months. In 2015 Congress passed, and Obama signed, a law restricting visas from states of concern; and in 2016 Obama’s DHS, Jeh Johnson, expanded those restrictions, all President Trump is doing is taking the same action as Obama 2013, and applying Visa restrictions to the nation states Obama selected in 2015 and 2016.

President Trump is carrying out an executive action in support of the US Customs and Border Protection Act of 2015, which relates to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“. President Trump did not select seven countries – the US Congress and Obama’s Department of Homeland Security had singled out these countries.

AWESOME! He's using BO's own policies! - MAGA!

The force is with you.

You're speculating. - Me

[ In Reply To ..]
You're "sure" they howled about BO's actions? That is just rank speculation on your part.

Also, WHICH Republicans? The leadership or the rank and file?

For the record, THIS Republican supported Carter's actions in 1980, BO's actions in 2011, and President Trump's actions now.

Gateway Punditl gimme a break. Obama never banned anyone - This is garbage sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Just because someone designs something like this does not make it true. DO SOME REAL research. When those Iraq refugees in Kentucky were discovered to be terrorists the FBI advised there were probably more and more coming, so the hunt was on. THERE WAS A DIRECT THREAT so Homeland Security (Obama if you wish) started screening Iraq refugees more closely as well as other countries. It may have been slow and some may have even taken 6 months, but not all and NO ONE WAS EVER BANNED. NEVER HAPPENED. I personally would have been outraged. What Trump is doing is carpet banning from these countries with no direct threat. I am no Obama fan really but let's get facts straight here. You know, it was said to be very easy to fact check Trump when he was campaigning because he kept telling the same "untruths" even when his own people told him over and over that what he was saying was not true. He just kept on saying the same things. He is in his own world and just because he told his spokesman to refer to this "2011 ban" that never happened does not make it true. Here's a true fact for you, in the last 15 years since 9/11 attacks, there have been less than 100 terror attack deaths on US soil. There have been 3,300 home-grown American terrorist attacks. We are more likely to get killed by our own fellow citizens by terror or gun violence than we are a terrorist attack. But I guess it is okay if Americans are killed as long as it is Americans doing the killing. Obama is not president anyone, so why keep referring to the job he did/did not do? Focus on present day president, present day facts, and present day threats instead of making excuses for Trump about his inadequacies.
