Obama’s team cancels Muslim registry to foil Trump’s ‘extreme vetting’ plans

The Obama administration rushed Thursday to cancel a program set up in the wake of Sept. 11 to track and deport illegal immigrant Muslim and Arab men, hoping to hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to impose “extreme vetting” on Muslim visitors.

Civil rights and immigrant groups cheered the move and said they hoped it would force a rethink by Mr. Trump who, while softening some of his other positions postelection, has not budged on his call for more thorough checks on those coming into the U.S. from terrorism-connected countries.

The National Security Entry-Exit Registration System had been dormant for years, but activists demanded that the Obama administration take it off the books entirely. They feared Mr. Trump could use the program as a shortcut to starting his own vetting.

But the joke will be on him,because a provision is now being attached to every single action he takes allowing reversal.His reactions post presidency to those immediate reversals will be priceless.This was done to avoid an impeachment action because his time was too short & impeachment proceedings would have taken the entire time he has left.What you are reading here he does not even know.

It's solely because his name might be first on the list.

There is a big difference between more thoroughly checking immigrants and creating a Nazi-Germany esk database based on one's religion.

2:51 - his name, along with the Hildabeast, Jarrett, Abedin, Lynch, Comey, Reid, and Peloser should all be put on traitor watch lists. Their every movement should be monitored by true Patriots!

An act against our National Security, that means Obama has violated his oath of office an committed an act of treason against the US. A Muslim acting to protect other Muslims. Also an illegal protecting other illegals in the US, since Obama has never proven his US citizenship. He did get Foreign Student loans and grants when he was in College, which is not given to US citizens.

I hope they can prove he is not a citizen and everything he did is null and void and he goes to prison with the Hildabeast. The MSM would go completely bonkers.
