These 73 sitting Democrats voted to ban visas from some Muslim countries. That law still exists

Trump’s executive order is so modest that the foundation of it is essentially existing law. That law was passed unanimously by both bodies of Congress in 2002. In fact, it garnered the support of 16 Democrat senators and 57 Democrat House members who are still serving in their respective bodies! Following 9/11, Congress passed the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, which addressed many of the insecurities in our visa tracking system. The bill passed the House and Senate unanimously. The bill was originally sponsored by a group of bipartisan senators, including Ted Kennedy and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. (F, 0%). Among other provisions, it restricted non-immigrant visas from countries designated as state sponsors of terror:

It would be nice if they actually listed the 73 sitting Democrats rather than leave it to the reader to sift though the roll call and weed out those no longer in office.

I think I see the problem here. Can you say "term limits"?

We are losing the battle of words.

In 2002, non-immigrant visas were cut off from countries that were designated as "state sponsors of terrorism".

That's the same thing as what Trump is doing now. Yet all I hear in the media is that Trump is targeting "Muslim majority countries".

Trump's team needs to wake up and correct the propaganda.

Now.

There are 57 countries in the Organization of Islamic Countries. The temporary suspension of visas applies to 7 of them. The vast majority of muslim countries and muslims are unaffected.
