is no doubt a Trump supporter. In his interview with Congressman Keith Ellison he did nothing but make excuses for Trump. He used Jimmy Carter's actions toward Iranians living in the US at the time of the hostage crisis,and compared Trump's actions to that of President Obama's restrictions of some immigrants as nothing new?
WTF was he talking about.....When Ellison was getting the best of him in the conversation he was completely cut off and went to an obvious unscheduled commercial...What a f*KINg idiot the guy is..making excuses for Trump...

Well it wasn't even close..I was very aware of what happened then in 1979 and the Iranian students here in the United States..I don't believe one legitimate student was held in detention or deported
Im wondering if the the Immigration services and border patrol dont follow a court order it makes one wonder what would happen if Trump declared Marshal law?
This is like the Nazi movement of 1932 all over again.

To wit:
[div class="excerpt"]The argument surfaced initially at the conservative website FrontPage Mag in a post written by Daniel Greenfield before spreading widely. Greenfields post looks at some of the actions Carter took in the wake of the Iran hostage crisis, in which more than 60 American embassy personnel in Tehran were held captive by militants for 444 days between 1979 and 1981.
Greenfield begins his article sarcastically, writing, "Trump is a monster, a madman and a vile racist. He's just like Hitler. Or Jimmy Carter. During the Iranian hostage crisis, Carter issued a number of orders to put pressure on Iran. Among these, Iranians were banned from entering the United States unless they oppose the Shiite Islamist regime or had a medical emergency."
He cites two specific actions. One was an order for Iranian students to report to immigration offices in order to determine if they had violated the terms of their visa; if they had, they would be deported. The second was an order to end all future visas for Iranians and to stop issuing most new visas
