As the Left and some Republicans lose their minds over President Donald J. Trumps executive order on immigration, lets not forget that the list of concerned countries that the Trump administration outlined in the order is based on the one signed into law by the former Obama administration. So, it looks like the Obama White House set the groundwork (via Mic News):
According to the draft copy of Trump's executive order, the countries whose citizens are barred entirely from entering the United States is based on a bill that Obama signed into law in December 2015.
Obama signed the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act as part of an omnibus spending bill. The legislation restricted access to the Visa Waiver Program, which allows citizens from 38 countries who are visiting the United States for less than 90 days to enter without a visa.

Our readers are pretty savvy and are very good at researching. Does anyone know the names of those who voted to pass the bill that Obama signed in December 2015. Not sure if this helps but the reference in Trump’s EO is -— Section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12).
This would be great news to know - would gladly remind those who oppose the action now to inform them of their previous vote for it.
Thanks to whoever can find out.

OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL FOR 2016
The language is in this bill.
SCHUMER VOTED FOR IT.
Today, he cried tears for the nearly the very same language.

His quotes on the bill — which contain the language he cried over today: “IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS YEAR THAT WE’D BE STANDING HERE CELEBRATING THE PASSAGE OF AN OMNIBUS BILL WITH NO POISON PILL RIDERS AT HIGHER LEVELS ABOVE SEQUESTER THAN EVEN THE PRESIDENT REQUESTED, I WOULDN’T HAVE BELIEVED IT. BUT HERE WE ARE. THIS BILL IS A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE PRINCIPLES DEMOCRATS STAND FOR.”

Is anyone calling him out for this hypocrisy, on social media? Leftists won’t know about it, otherwise. (Not that facts matter to these losers. Just fun to watch their ongoing meltdowns :)

Larry, double check my facts, and if I am right, send along to Team Trump.
I postulate that Schumer voted for the bill he cried tears about today. The language, I believe, was contained in the Omnibus Spending Bill of 2016, voted on on Dec 18, 2015.

If confirmed - about Chuck U - we need headline adjusted, or a separate thread, to set he record straight on this creep.

I guess this is why Boobamba isn't sticking his nose into this.....he'd have to take responsibility for naming the terrorist countries under Trump's E/O.
Somebody ought to tell teary Schumer.

I don't give a damn about Schumer's tears... his tears are never for traditional Americans - they're always for the people who hate us.

Good find, used it as ammo against the screeching liberals on my local rag website.
