Obama dumps registry for some immigrant men, mostly Muslims
It seem that Obama had a registry. Hmmm
It was named: National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERs
Obama dumps registry for some immigrant men, mostly Muslims
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration said Thursday it is officially scrapping a post-9/11 requirement for immigrant men from predominantly Muslim countries to register with the federal government. The U.S. hasn't used the program since 2011, but a top immigration adviser to President-elect Donald Trump has spoken of renewing it.The decision to end the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERs, comes amid growing international terror fears and Trump's suggestions that he could ban Muslim immigrants from the United States. After a truck attack killed 12 in a Christmas market in Berlin this week, Trump told reporters, "You know my plans."The program's elimination could make it more complicated for Trump's administration to launch its own registration system for Muslims.

National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS)
Currently, certain nonimmigrant alien visitors from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen are subject to National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS), also known as Special Registration, at the port of entry upon arrival to the United States. Also, nonimmigrant aliens from any country may be registered if they are determined to meet criteria established by the secretary of Homeland Security, if they are referred by a Department of State consular officer, or if the inspecting officer believes the alien should be registered in the interest of law enforcement or national security.

Hmmm, I like how you make it sound sinister.
It wasn't a secret.
From your own article:
The registration system started about a year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, requiring men and boys from a variety of mostly Middle Eastern countries to register with the federal government upon their arrival in the United States. Such people already in the country had to register with immigration authorities inside the U.S.
Registration, which also applied to immigrants from North Korea, included fingerprints and photographs. People also were required to notify the government if they changed addresses.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The U.S. hasn't used the program since 2011.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Obama dumps registry for some immigrant men, mostly Muslims
I wonder just how effective the NSEERS was in deterring domestic terrorism !
Gee, the official report seems to indicate it did not deter ANY act of domestic terrorism.
