Obama’s admin made the “Muslim ban” possible and the media
Obama’s administration made the “Muslim ban” possible and the media won’t tell you
Read the complete article to under stand the travel ban EO
But, wait a sec. According to the reports “The order bars all people hailing from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.” Critics had attacked Trump for selecting these seven countries and not selecting other states “linked to his sprawling business empire.” Bloomberg and Forbesbought into this. But, wait a sec. I read the order and Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen are not mentioned in it. Go back and read itagain. Do a “ctrl-f” to find “Iraq”. Where is “Iraq” in the order. It’s 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 didn’t select seven “Muslim-majority” countries. US President Barack Obama’s administration selected these seven Muslim-majority countries. The Department of HomelandSecurity targeted these seven countries over the last years as countries of concern. In February 2016 “The Department of Homeland Security today announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of concern, limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.” It noted “the three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals.”
It was the US policy under Obama to restrict and targetpeople “who have been present in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, at any time on or after March 1, 2011 (with limited government/military exceptions).” This was text of the US Customs and Border Protection in 2015 relating to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: Obama’s admin made the “Muslim ban” possible and the media
Boy, if you are going to tell a wopper, tell a wopper!
It's all,,,, wait for it,,,,,, Obama's fault.
And, let's toss in the usual scapegoat,, the MSM is hiding that fact.
Unbelievable.
Of course, who could question a source as respected as Seth Frantzman?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

I did a fact-check on this. There are plenty of articles written, and I found this one to be most helpful. It outlines what the executive order does and does not do. I encourage everyone to read it.

Thanks, Fred. A very informative article.
It should be required reading.
