What can we do? This is why I voted for Hillary.
Let me explain something you seem to be overlooking Shawn. The reason Trump is even ABLE to purport a rationale for the immigrant ban is because HILLARY CLINTON facilitated the destruction of Libya, and attempted to do the same to Syria. Trump's Executive Order rests on laws and codes that Obama put in place.
But it is nothing new that the citizens of those countries are targeted with U.S. visa restrictions. It was Obama who introduced <https://mic.com/articles/166845/the-list-of-muslim-countries-trump-wants-to-ban-was-compiled-by-the-obama-administration#.aqlfAsKuM> such in 2015 and 2016. The Trump order links directly to them. It does not name any country but refers to them as <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/read-draft-text-trump-executive-order-muslim-entry_us_5888fe00e4b0024605fd591d> "countries designated in Division O, Title II, Section 203 of the 2016 consolidated appropriations act."
U.S animosities against these countries is even older. According to <https://genius.com/General-wesley-clark-seven-countries-in-five-years-annotated> the former general Clark, plans were made to wage war against six of the now named seven countries back in 2001. Yemen was later added while Lebanon was (temporarily?) taken off the list. The administrations change, the selected "enemies" stay the same.
In 2011 Obama stopped processing Iraqi visa requests for six month <http://thefederalist.com/2015/11/18/the-obama-administration-stopped-processing-iraq-refugee-requests-for-6-months-in-2011/>. That move was quite similar to Trump's current one. Where was the outcry in 2001? In 2011, 2015 and 2016? Is it only bad when Trump restricts visits for certain people from certain countries?
