Obama’s Executive Order – Entry Denial (aka under the same MSM spin rules “Latino Ban”)
How many folks here are aware of the EO enacted by former President Obama in on January 12, 2017, just eight days before Trump's inauguration?
President Barack Obama is ending the longstanding "wet foot, dry foot" policy that allows Cubans who arrive in the United States without a visa to become permanent residents, the administration announced Thursday.

Guess what the result was of this executive order? Well I can tell you not because I saw it on the news, not because I read it on the web, not because someone told me about it… I experienced the result live and in person at the Miami International Airport on Friday, January 13, 2017. There were at least several dozen Cubans being held back… just like what has happened with folks who are traveling to the US with passports from the seven countries noted on the list – a list of which six of the seven countries were created by the Obama administration - Trump’s team added Syria to that list. There were families waiting for their loved ones to be let through just like I was waiting for my wife, Cristina, and my step-daughter, Alejandra, to be let through. In fact, my family has spent the last three years working on the legal immigration to the US for Cristina and Alejandra which I will post about soon.
This post is meant to point out again how the MSM (other than FOX News in this case) spun Obama’s EO in their attempts to justify the action and how the MSM didn’t pick up the story with anywhere near the fervor you see in the case of 109 folks who have traveled back to the US and were held back for additional vetting (just like was happening with the Cubans)… note: all but a few dozen of the 109 have already been allowed through (as of this writing... early Monday morning US time, January 30, 2017) and unless there’s a good reason to prevent entry of any of these individuals, I would imagine all will be allowed through. I sat next to two gentlemen who had been waiting several hours for one individual and who told me that they were aware that the word is that folks could be expected to wait many hours, could wait a dozen or more hours and in some cases, it was possible the individual would be refused entry. Both of these gentlemen worked for a relief organization that provided assistance to Cuban refugees and part of that assistance was to meet them at the ports of entry.
Note: I was born in the US and am a US citizen and travel under a US passport have dual residency with Curacao and when I lived in Panama I obtained legal residency in Panama. I have always followed the international travel protocols, obtained visas when needed and obtained residency when I would move to a new country. I did this out of respect for each countries laws and I did this so that never would my sons, my wife and step-daughter would ever have any issues related to their presence in any foreign country. I can ensure each and every individual here, all these other countries have their own laws and their own policies and guess what? Sometimes those laws and policies change, sometimes the protocols change and sometimes they change instantly. I know this as I have experienced this. In fact, a procedure change in Curacao caused my wife and I to remain apart for an entire additional year. In fact, to resolve the matter is a story unto itself but I am saving that for another set of posts. Back to the point here.
There are notable differences in both Eos. One is that Trump’s EO effected current green card and/or visa holders that are traveling from one of those seven countries or who are attempting to enter the US under a passport from one of those seven countries. The Cuban “wet foot, dry foot” policy was focused on refugees who fled Cuba and set at least one foot (literally) on US soil. Yet if I used the same protocols as is used by the MSM I would have blasted “Latino Ban” outrage all across the headlines. I would have been working hand in glove with professional protester financiers to stir up rage in the zombie followers so they’ll increase the protest ranks 10 fold. I would have US Senators crying on TV. And the list goes on.
Now I ask any clear and free thinking individual... is the “selective coverage” acceptable? Is the actual outright lies related specifically to Trump’s EO spewed by the MSM (aka "the Elite Media") acceptable? Is the twisting of the actual truth (as has been done with the effects of Trump’s EO) to the degree this has been done which results in a massively distorted belief by a huge segment of the world population acceptable?
Bannon did indeed state it correctly –
Here’s a very fair analysis and opinion on Bannon’s comments from Howard Kurtz.
