During his administration, Jimmy Carter banned Iranians form entering the United States because he was concerned some might be violent radicals.
After a week of histrionics from liberal media outlets and thousands of Facebook posts declaring Trump was like Hitler, we can now take a break for grown-up time and know that more than one President has shut the door on suspected violent immigrants:
Fourth, the Secretary of Treasury [State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.
What? It’s like Jimmah Carta was writing for the Trump campaign this week.
Jimmah is just like Hitla! Golly! But wait! There’s more! President Carter actually forced Iranian’s in America back to Iran. He deported them.
See the next for Carter’s deportation efforts
this is a sad time for America as it was when this guy was president
I’m really sick of hearing how “unconstitutional” it is to keep people out of our country that are a threat to us. OUR Constitution wasn’t written and designed to protect and cover people in Syria, or any other foreign country. Our founding fathers wrote it to protect the rights, security, and safety of OUR legal citizens… not those living in foreign lands. Our laws don’t pertain to them, any more than their laws pertain to us. It’s amazing to me how this president can stomp on our Constitution to harm us, with no fight from either party …. but, Trump gets criticized for trying to watch out for us FIRST! And it puzzles them why he’s ahead with WE THE PEOPLE??
I remember that time. It is still law so here we go again, Dumbama at his worst again.
For it…, before they were against it — again!
The most ballsy thing ever done!
Then the democrats approved.
Yes I remember that and totally agreed with it then, agree with Trump now.
Using Carter to make a point or win an argument is just weak. Being the second worse POTUS in history there is nobody who can look at anything he did seriously.
They don’t want anybody to remember about this.
Obama is a Muslim, hence problem solved, he wants his people here.
