On Trump's choice of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen-Pen State Law School explanation shows how it goes back to laws enacted in 2016, while Obama was president.
Comment
The following has been copied and pasted from the Pennsylvania State Law School website.It is not that university's opinion or statement of "alternative facts" but rather a simple summary of the
Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States or “Refugee/Muslim Ban”
executive order.
Pursuant to INA §212(f), the President will exclude from entry immigrants and non immigrants “who are from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12), 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)” for a period of 90 days. These countries include: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Additional countries may be added for similar treatment. The Executive Order provides an exception to prohibition of entry in which the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security may review on a case-by-case basis, and allow entry as long as it is found to be in the national interest. How this section will be applied remains to be determined- for example, the language could reach LPRs (green card holders) outside the United States. While only certain countries are mentioned, this Executive Order masks religious discrimination with the concern for national security.
8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12) was made law by Obama the date of enactment of this Act being Dec. 18, 2015].
It has not been amended since.
