And it was delayed for 6 months. My god you are dumb:
"The Obama administration in 2011 delayed processing Iraqi refugees for six months "
i.e 6 months with ZERO new approvals....completely based on being from a country and a terrorist threat perceived to emanate from that country. That's a ban. If you want to claim it was partial (since it only governed new approvals), thats fine....its still a ban however and added precedent. Trump goes one step further in stopping pre-approved as well and having 7 countries on the list. Again temporarily and legally. Its effectively a delay as well given its temporary nature.
Not that a permanent ban would be illegal btw. Each country can decide for itself which country's people it wants to admit and not admit (have you ever looked at how many countries ban Israeli citizens from admittance?...or even those that just have evidence of having visited Israel?). It however cannot be done on the basis of religion like all the protestors are hollering about....just like the anti-Israel countries dont do it on basis of being Jewish.
Okay I understand that you are slow so I will give you the facts in bigger words so you understand.
"It should also be noted that Iraqi refugees were still admitted to the United States every month in 2011, though there was a significant drop after May of that year. Here’s a chart with data from the state department:"
It never once hit 0 therefore nullifying your bullshit claim. Obama didn't ban anyone. He only extended Background checks.
