In 1939 President FDR (D) turned away boatloads of Jewish refugees known to be escaping Nazi genocide in Germany and most Americans (including the Democratic Party) were behind him, remained silent, and thought this to be an acceptable role of a President, and good for the country.
In 1941 FDR (D) ordered the internment of over 100,000 US citizens of Japanese descent, and most Americans (including the Democratic Party) were behind him, remained silent, and thought this to be acceptable and good for the country (though the Germans were not interned because allegedly they did not attack us).
Under Harry Truman (D), millions of illegal Mexican migrant workers were allowed to be legalized and stay or come in order to help harvest US crops, but a little over a million illegal Mexican immigrants were deported during his presidency. No one thought this to be a bad thing or complained or protested the deportations.
Under the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, immigrants trying to get into America were turned away on the basis of Psychiatric background info, possible criminal associations, and if they were gay (the gay part was not rescinded in 1996 while vetting for psychiatric and criminal background checks remained) and most Americans (including the Democratic Party) were behind him, remained silent, and thought this to be acceptable and good for the country.
The ‘Undocumented Aliens Message to the Congress’ submitted August 4, 1977 by Jimmy Carter (D) as President he declared that from that point on the hiring of illegal Immigrants is ILLEGAL, and insisted that we substantially increase resources available to control the Southern border, and other entry points, in order to prevent illegal immigration. Those here that were found suitable and were willing to work would be awarded “temporary worker” status and allowed to apply for citizenship after so many years. Hundreds of thousands were sent back to Mexico.
May 6, 1980 President Jimmy Carter (D) had nearly 200 Cuban people detained in Florida. It turned out after serious vetting that 133 were Criminals and not allowed entrance into the United States. Most Americans (including the Democratic party) were behind him, remained silent, and thought this to be acceptable and good for the country.
From 1994 to 1996 after the Balsero (rafter) crisis of August, 1994, Bill Clinton detained around 20,000 angry Cuban refugees, who had been warehoused at a US base since that time. To avoid inciting another exodus, he ordered that all Cuban rafters would now be intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard and, for the first time since the Cuban revolution in 1959, repatriated to Havana if they could not qualify for political asylum (after serious vetting they were returned to their mother nation).
In February 1996 (after the first attempt to bomb the twin towers) President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir of Sudan offered Bill Clinton the arrest and extradition of Bin Laden and detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt's Islamic Jihad, Iran's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas. Clinton turned down the opportunity and this led to 911 (and a number of other Militant Islamic atrocities and many 1,000s of deaths).
Later In 1996 (after the Rawandan fiasco), House Concurrent Resolution 75, passed by a vote of 416-1 on June 15. House members determined the National Islamic Front that rules in Khartoum "is deliberately and systematically committing genocide in southern Sudan." The resolution continues by declaring that "millions have been displaced from their homes," and the Sudan government "is threatening the very survival of a whole generation of southern Sudanese."
Yet following this almost unanimous Congressional concern, President Bill Clinton (D) refused Sudanese refugees entrance to America and sent them all back to Sudan. One group included mostly young people and children who had made a makeshift raft and survived a journey crossing the Atlantic Ocean…they were refused amnesty and were returned to the Islamic government never to be heard from again. BUT….most Americans (including the Democratic party) stood behind him, remained silent, and thought this to be acceptable and good for the country.
Between 2009 and 2015 Barak Obama (by Executive Order) captured and removed more than 2.5 million people from the US through immigration orders, which doesn’t include the number of people who were turned away and/or returned to their home country at the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) following the orders of the President. Not one person questioned that “The President” has this authority.
In 2011 Barack Obama refused entrance to most Iraqi refugees for 6 months until passing the rigor of serious vetting and most Americans (including the Democratic party) were behind him, remained silent, and thought this to be acceptable and good for the country.
Where was the outcry? Are today’s protests brainwashing, hypocrisy, or just a result of well-trained short memory? If trump had just flatly denied entrance, like the former Democratic Presidents in the White House, would that have been okay? Why did the Democrats on all these cases feel it was okay for all of them?
Many people are apparently being brainwashed into thinking Mexican or Muslim equals a “race” when in fact neither belief is true. Muslims are of all races, and Mexican is a largely ethnically mixed group of one predominant nationality. The 7 countries in question are all countries shown to either be enemies of the US, or they contain and/or support members of militant Islamic groups such as Al-Qeda and ISIS responsible for death and destruction in over 20 countries worldwide. Why shouldn’t a concerned President (like all these Democrat Presidents) be allowed to insist on serious vetting before allowing entrance. They are not being denied entrance, they are being investigated first. This has been the approach of many Democratic presidents. Why was it not “WRONG” when it was the Democrats? Shouldn’t we eliminate the obvious double standards when we find them? Obviously one set of laws is only insisted on when our personal double standards are threatened.
