There is no mention of 6 of the 7 nations in Trump's executive order. Only Syria is listed. Obama picked the rest.
"I read the order and Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen are not mentioned in it.
Go back and read it again. Do a ctrl-f to find Iraq. Where is Iraq in the order. Its not there. Only Syria is there. So where are the seven nations? Where is the Muslim ban? It turns out this was a form of fake news, or alternative facts. Trump didnt select seven Muslim-majority countries. US President Barack Obamas administration selected these seven Muslim-majority countries."
There would be no riots if this policy were to have been implemented by a Democrat president.
Fact^
McCarran-Walter Act 1952.
This story is right. The travel ban stops very few people. But I think the bigger hypocrisy is that the press never mentioned the millions of foreign nationals who were denied re-entery from 2005 to the present day because of security checks that were retroactively placed on all foreigners from most countries (not Canada, Mexico, or the EU). Millions were denied admittance under the Obama and Bush administrations when they traveled abroad and tried to come back to the U.S. Most were delayed for months, some for years while others were never allowed back in the country.
The Press does not seem to care about getting a story right. And they don’t care when similar acts are performed by Obama. Their hypocrisy is astounding.
Also, watching FOX this AM as they interviewed a very Americanized appearing guy about how his incoming fiancé had been held (handcuffed and crying) upon her legal entry to the US ("she's beautiful" & "it's not so bad now").
Nice big sympathy hook there, right? Problem is that it's precisely how the "Americanized" couple that gunned down a room full of Christmas celebrants (his co-workers) in Riverside got together. Apparently, irate America and FOX News, have a finely tuned grip on compartmentalization as well as self loathing.

Why is Saudi Arabia not on that list?
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT !!!!!!
THE LEFT DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW THE E.O.’s PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN SIGNING WERE WRITTEN FOR OBAMA TO SIGN - BUT OBAMA NEVER SIGNED THEM.
AND NOT ONE DEMOCRAT CALLED OBAMA ON IT .. NOT ONE.
THIS GRANDIOSE DOUBLE STANDARD IS DECEIPTFUL, AND DISGRACEFUL .. NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE ABANDONING THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
All the DemocRATS have left is the 1960’s PROTESTORS.
I’m old, gimme a break...glad you remembered.
You and me both, brother.
