Not much more than a peep about Obama and his stint at blocking immigration in 2011. And was there really much outrage from the left in his decision about Cuba? Nope, none at all really. Then they change the location temporary bans on it being a ban on muslims, while out the other mouth complaining that a few christians got sent back to Syria as a result.

Liberals Against Trump Who Favored Obama’s Cuban Ban ‘Hypocrites’
Florida Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart attacked the “double standard and hypocrisy” of opponents of President Donald Trump’s executive order on migrants from terror-prone countries, noting that many did not oppose a similar move by President Barack Obama that stranded thousands of Cubans throughout the Western Hemisphere.
In a Monday post on Facebook, Rep. Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) issued a statement clarifying the conditions of President Trump’s executive order implementing a hold on allowing migrants from seven terror-prone countries to enter the United States. Noting that the “ban” – which has not stopped many from the seven nations who have cleared extra screening from entering the country – was “only temporary until the Trump administration can review and enact the necessary procedures to vet immigrants from these countries,” he added that he was disturbed by the lack of concern for Cuban refugees who suffered similar delays thanks to an Obama administration policy.
“I am struck by the double standard and hypocrisy of those who are offended by this executive order, but who failed to challenge President Obama when he took similar action against Cuban refugees,” Rep. Diaz-Balart wrote, noting, “especially since President Obama’s action was meant to appease the Castro regime and not for national security reasons.”
Rep. Diaz-Balart concludes by clarifying that the seven nations mentioned in President Trump’s executive order – Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and Libya – were part of a list compiled during the Obama years, and not the product of Trump-era policy.
