Why would the text of President Trump’s Executive Order suspending travel visas be readily available on CNN (HERE), New York Times (HERE), Wall Street Journal (HERE), but not on White House page (HERE)?
I don’t think it’s accidental. The limiting Visa program was President Obama’s action, not President Trump.
If you review the actual text of the executive order (copied below in full) what you will immediately notice is the order doesn’t specify ANY countries to be included in the Visa suspension (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen).
President Trump is not suspending visas from countries his team selected, they are simply 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.
I’m so glad you caught that,great catch onyx.!!
Showing that Trump and his aids have more than done their homework they are turning around as many EO’s as they can on the hard left to see how they like it. It’s sooooo refreshing.
Dana PeRINO upset Trump didn’t communicate earlier what you posted about extending Obama’s restrictions - which KAC explained to her earlier in the show.
They still don’t understand Trump’s 3D-chess media moves. Amazing.
Thanks for that informative post.
This is one of the reasons I read FR before watching any news coverage.
Posters like you give the real background that the MSM ( all) don’t cover. They have their meme, and focal points.
They never get to the gist of the issue
