Obama stopped a certain amount of people from that list from getting visas, and Trump has stopped most people on that list from getting a visa.Comment

Originally posted by SpontaneousOrder View PostI never said there was a blanket ban. I said "used to restrict visas" and linked to the FAQ.

Originally posted by SpontaneousOrder View PostWhat about it is an 'alternative fact' ? That Obama created the list of states of particular concern, with regards to security aorund persons arriving from those states, used to restrict visas as per this FAQ?
