Oh lord.
Yes, past presidents have done similar immigration bans. But the differences are staggering. It's like comparing oranges to running shoes.
In 2001 Obama had an immigration ban. However, that wasn't really a ban. It was a pause on refugee processing. And it was for a specific reason, there was a specific threat (failed plot by Iraqi nationals living in Bowling Green, Ky.).
Trump on the other hand is only doing this to make it appear like he is doing something. He is not protecting Americans; He is targeting countries who have never sent terrorists to us. He put in place a complete ban for no reason, which fucked up the lives of thousands of people. For no reason.
We have a vetting process in place that takes over a year. If he was to do anything, he should have taken a detailed look at the vetting process and recommend changes.
