My How We Forget

Democrats have likely forgotten that they cheered and gave President Bill Clinton a STANDING OVATION for his idea to build a wall and deport criminal illegals during a State of the Union address.

As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News - even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets."

The "Kentucky case" refers to two Iraqis in Kentucky who in May, 2011 were arrested and faced federal terrorism charges after officials discovered from an informant that Waad Ramadan Alwan, before he had been granted asylum in the United States, had constructed improvised roadside bombs in Iraq. The FBI, after examining fragments from thousands of bomb parts, found Alwan's fingerprints on a cordless phone that had been wired to detonate an improvised bomb in 2005.

The arrests caused in uproar in Congress and the Obama administration pledged to re-examine the records of 58,000 Iraqis who had been settled in the United States. The administration also imposed new, more extensive background checks on Iraqi refugees. Media reports at the time focused on how the new screening procedures had delayed visa approvals, even as the United States was preparing to end its involvement in the Iraq war.

"COLLINS: 'So my question is, is there a hold on that population until they can be more stringently vetted to ensure that we're not letting into this country, people who would do us harm?'

"NAPOLITANO: 'Yep

"NAPOLITANO: Moving forward, no one will be resettled without going through the same sort of vet. Now I don't know if that equates to a hold.

"Immigration authorities soon began rechecking all Iraqi refugees in America, reportedly comparing fingerprints and other records with military and intelligence documents in dusty archives. About 1,000 soon-to-be immigrants in Iraq were told that they would not be allowed to board flights already booked. Some were removed from planes. Thousands more Iraqi applicants had to restart the immigration process, because their security clearances expired when the program stalled.

Obama did not announce there was a ban on visa applications. In fact, as seen in Napolitano's answer to Collins, administration officials danced around that question. There was certainly a lot of news reporting that visa applications had been slowed to a trickle. But the Obama administration never said it was their policy to halt all applications. Even so, the delays did not go unnoticed, so there was a lot of critical news reporting at the time about the angst of Iraqis waiting for approval.

the liberals must have forgotten about how to protests back then.. :roll: :? :???:

I was on Hillary's twitter today and she tweeted she supported the protests and they needed to protect US values and this is not what we are.

So I tweeted back asking if she supported protests when Obama halted visas while she was Sec of State and I posted a New York Times article that claimed his ban on visas was affecting Iraq citizens that helped the US in the war on Terrorism.

Is that not why all the friggin Liberals were protesting yesterday as a Syrian citizen that helped the US military was being detained at airport which he was released after a couple hours once his papers were checked and cleared. Dems announced such actions like Trumps would deter any foreignor from helping the US ever again. Seems if Obama's ban on people coming from those areas didn't stop informants helping the US then what makes them think Trumps actions will. He() Hillary's hacked emails will likely get more informant killed that anything Trump has done with his temporary ban on people coming from those 7 countries.

I hear there are already lawsuits filed on behalf of those detained. I'm betting you will not find a 2011 lawsuit against Obama for the same actions.

They were also questioning why Trump picked those seven countries to ban that answer is the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION decided those seven were the ones of concern at this time. Funny how Saudi Arabia is the country most believe fund a good share of the terrorism but they are not on the list. But I guess it would have looked bad for Obama to put them on the list when Hillary was taking millions of dollars in "CHARITABLE" donations into the Clinton Foundation.

Been blocked more than once by libs for pointing out their hypocrisy and for calling Hillary a FBI PROVEN LIAR. Love posting you tube videos like the one of Comey's congressional testimony to Trey Gowey where he admitted Hillary lied and Trey goes after Comey about how you prove intent in a case like Hillary's. I love the part where Trey says rarely does a perp say they are going to intentionally break the law and that is why you have to look at they actions on how they are trying to hide the fact they did break the law and if destroying evidence doesn't prove intent what does. The article from the NYT's proves the left is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites as it was reported what Obama did by the Liberal media but no protests were held as it was OBAMA doing the banning of visas. I have a feeling it will not make a difference to the left what Trump does they are going to protest his every action and the Right is going to have to be there to point out their hypocrisy for the next 8 years.
