You can search for the phrase "(12) Not present in Iraq, Syria, or any other country or area of concern"
The extent to which State/HomeSec enforced this provision, I have no context.
But it wasn't _in_ 2011, it was codified in 2015 but targeted people retroactively _to_ 2011.
- swang 10y agothis does not seem to be the same thing. specificially the articles cited says obama says banned only iraqi refugees for 6 months, not syrian, nor just immigrants. specifically it would have to be an order coming from USRAP or the State Dept or some kind of EO from Obama. also the article you provided seems to be about visa waivers and not actual immigration law/orders. i'm not an expert so i'm trying to sort out what exactly they are saying obama did.
- shawn-butler 10y agoI don't really deal in the gossip or alt-news, but with the law and actual orders. The link I gave you is not an article. It is the legal code of the United States. That is what is on the books. Ratified by Congress, signed by Obama, and the list of nation-states that were areas of concern were created by agencies of the Obama administration. When you see headlines "Trump bans muslims from seven countries" and then look in the Trump EO and don't find the words Iran, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, etc it is drawing its authority from this which has been the policy of the US government for years.
