He is banning travel from South Africa which is 90% black. I'm sure all the Trump haters who accused him of banning Muslim travel to the US will agree that Biden's ban is racist.

WASHINGTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will impose a ban on most non-U.S. citizens entering the country who have recently been in South Africa starting Saturday
Well the SA travel ban is, as you know, is to do with a new variant of COVID.
The "muslim" travel ban was for what?
I agree that the difference in reporting the bans has been stark, but I do believe you are comparing apples to oranges.
His point is that there was no “Muslim ban”.
There are around 50 Muslim majority nations in the world. Trump’s alleged “Muslim ban” affected 5 of those nations.
This was another in a long line of leftist lies promulgated over the last 4 years that the brain dead bought into wholeheartedly when all the evidence refuting it was right in their ugly faces.

That's why I put it in quotes.
I asked for the reason behind the ban. I know full well how many nations were effected.
Do you really not know? These were countries with large terror concerns that also lacked the ability for proper vetting of the people coming from them. The countries were designated this way by the Obama admin, by the way. Not by Trump. In fact, it's the Trump admins phenomenal foreign policy that even removed Sudan (95% muslim) from the state sponsor of terror list.
No, that's why I asked. I wasn't in the country at the time and missed all the hoo-ha.
I have no bother with the President of a nation keeping the country safe if the state the people are entering from are unable to vet people accordingly regardless of religion/creed/color/race then there absolutely should be restrictions in place.
Both bans are valid IMO.
Interesting however, that Saudi Arabia where most of 9/11 highjackers and the murderers of Khashoggi come from have never been under any restrictions anywhere and have free roam. Very odd.
But you continue, all I asked was for the reasoning behind the Trump travel ban on select Islamic nations.
Those "select Islamic nations" were on a much larger list of countries that the Obama Administration determined had lax procedures for vetting potential or active terrorists.
