Remember all that talk about how Donald Trump was going to bring in a registry only for Muslims once he takes office? The media was in freak-out mode, and leftist Muslims were whining like someone stole their goat. Turns out there already was a Muslim registry in this country, and Obama just got rid of it. It was a post 9/11 requirement for all Muslims (and others) immigrating to this country from certain terrorist sympathizing countries.

The Obama administration said Thursday it is officially scrapping a post-9/11 requirement for immigrant men from predominantly Muslim countries to register with the federal government. The U.S. hasn’t used the program since 2011, but a top immigration adviser to President-elect Donald Trump has spoken of renewing it.
The decision to end the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERs, comes amid growing international terror fears and Trump’s suggestions that he could ban Muslim immigrants from the United States. After a truck attack killed 12 in a Christmas market in Berlin this week, Trump told reporters, “You know my plans.”
The program’s elimination could make it more complicated for Trump’s administration to launch its own registration system for Muslims.
But, the media told me we would have a Muslim registry if Trump was president? Surprise! There was one, all along until Obama decided to kill it. Turns out the media spread fake news about the Muslim registry after all. What a shocker.
