Obama scraps registry for some immigrant men, mostly Muslims

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Thursday officially scrapped the last vestiges of a U.S. registration system for Muslim immigrants. If President-elect Donald Trump now wants to introduce an expanded version of the program, he will have to start from scratch.

The post-9/11 registration program for immigrant men arriving mainly from the Islamic world hasn't been enforced since 2011. Although it never prohibited travel for men and boys from the more than 20 affected countries, including Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, Trump's suggestions about banning Muslim immigrants from the United States have led to fears that it could be reinstated and used for new and enhanced purposes.

The decision to erase it from the books entirely marks one of President Barack Obama's last administrative actions on immigration and will at least slow any Trump effort to introduce even tougher requirements, as has been suggested by a top adviser.

Trump has never publicly spoken about the program, but has made clear his desire to take a far tougher approach toward immigration than Obama.
He and his advisers have suggested the rising terror threat in the United States, Europe and elsewhere is linked to insufficiently vetted refugees and immigrants arriving from predominantly Muslim countries. After a truck attack killed 12 in a Christmas market in Berlin this week, Trump told reporters, "You know my plans."

A parting finger from the "Terrorist in Chief".

just another reminder that obarry cares nothing about this country...

I wonder how meaningful this actually is.

I mean border patrol and homeland security were processing through thousands of illegal immigrants for the last few years, dropping them off in cities, and telling them "okay, come back to our office in six months to let us know where we can find you, and bring i.d. this time...m'kay?"

So how often was this "registration" actually used and how many people were actually on it?

And are they on other databases? Like is he "scrapping" a system that simply collated information from ICE, the FBI, the CIA, and Homeland Insecurity?

How useful was the registration system?
A bunch of immigrants "fleeing" or economically migrating or whatever, they probably don't have their state drivers license with them...so what i.d. are they using?
How much was "Uh, my name is Phil McCrackenavidadad. I'm from, um, Springfield Iraq, uh, 15 madeup street."

Was the registration system ever effective in spotting terrorists or stopping them? Or was it just a collection of names of people that just disappeared or never did anything?


Different stories between "Obama scraps registration system the government never used, and served no purpose" and, "Obama scraps registration system widely lauded by law enforcement in spotting terrorists, stopping them, and finding criminals."

Without more relevant information the story is mock outrage to titillate people that want something to justify and fuel their anger against Obama for doing anything whatsoever.


That's not saying much.
Obama set a pretty low bar.
If Trump dropped a cocktail napkin in a Mexican food restaurant that had written on it: "Please, stop it, stop coming here," that would be a far tougher approach toward immigration than Obama ever took.

and that liberals' are threat to western civilization.
