Reminder: Jimmy Carter banned all Iranians from entering US This is just a reminder to all the liberal Democrats out there wringing their hands about Donald Trump’s latest comments.
from Front Page:
During the Iranian hostage crisis, Carter issued a number of orders to put pressure on Iran. Among these, Iranians were banned from entering the United States unless they oppose the Shiite Islamist regime or had a medical emergency.
Here’s Jimmy “Hitler” Carter saying it back in 1980.
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.
Apparently barring people from a terrorist country is not against “our values” after all. It may even be “who we are”. Either that or Carter was a racist monster just like Trump.
Meanwhile here’s how the Iranian students in the US were treated.
Carter orders 50,000 Iranian students in US to report to immigration office with view to deporting those in violation of their visas. On 27 December 1979, US appeals court allows deportation of Iranian students found in violation.
In November 1979, the Attorney General had given all Iranian students one month to report to the local immigration office. Around 7,000 were found in violation of their visas. Around 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the US.
I’m not even saying I agree with Trump. Personally, I don’t think Trump actually believes he can “ban all Muslims including American citizens” (as the Democrats are framing it) from entering the US—I think Trump is a marketing genius. You see, he knows that Americans will look at his statements, and then look at all the hand wringing from people like Hillary Clinton and Obama who claim that Islam has nothing to do with terror, and faced with that choice, people will align with him. He understands the politics of dichotomy, and when push comes to shove, people might not agree with Trump 100%, but they’re way closer to him than the delusional excuses from Democrats.
POSTER COMMENT : There is nothing in the US Constitution that demands we let in anyone from anywhere
