So it turns out this isn't even close to true, because there was never a list and Obama didn't stop any visa applications.

First the white house said it was congress' list, then when pressed on where specifically then next day, they said it was from an Obama Executive Order temporarily suspending Visa applications.

Turns out there was neither a list nor a suspension. It was only Iraq and the was no suspension, only a short term increase in scrutiny due to two applicants being implicated in planting a bomb. The increase scrutiny lead to long delays in processing Iraqi visas.


We have to stop talking the white house's word for things. And that's scary as ###
