I think the entry of green card and visa holders was not impacted also.
Trump claimed he discussed it w/various departments (state, homeland, etc) and they have all said he didn't.
So the slow down w/Obama was as a result of an actual incident while Trump's is not.

"I believe that there was never a 'ban" by Obama."
A 6-month moratorium. Look it up.

Oh, I see! So according to you, then, it's better to wait until
after an incident happens and then respond, than it is to prevent a terrorist incident. I'd rather stop the incident before it happens.
This is a brutal problem Paul. Like it or not, Trump's first priority is the welfare of Americans over the welfare of anyone else. That's not always easy. If Trump did this because he is a bigot, shame on him. If he did this because he genuinely feels there is a risk to letting refugees in, well then, that sounds an awful lot like what Obama and Clinton did. And that didn't stop Obama and Clinton from becoming liberal heroes.
