Yes Obama placed limited restrictions on people that had traveled to those countries on the list, it was the visa waiver travel program, not an entire ban on refugees and travelers. Refugees from all those countries particularly Syria, Iraq were already heavily vetted in procedures that took years.
Ah, so you had time to run off and google it. Heavily vetted? How do you even vet someone from Syria when the government is hostile? Vetting involves extensive checking of official government databases to which we have no access. We don't have access to birth records, medical records, school records, employment records, military records, criminal records, etc. As for taking years, liberals were clamoring for war-displaced refugees to be flown over here immediately.

Yes refugees are in fact heavily vetted by several agencies, multiple interviews, contacts over the course of years. No one was asking to fly over refugees immediately you are mistaken, Trump halted the program for those already screened because of his fear mongering. This didn’t come from Homeland it came from Trumps own mind.
Oh boy! The tweet storm is going to be epic over this one.
Trump's going to be super upset because he's stuck in DC due to the Trump shutdown. He would have been in Florida right now. He'll have all kinds of time to tweet.
Its actually less than 2 years as the ban was on hold for much of that time by loony leftist judges.
People have always had the right to seek asylum here.
