Before Trump, there was President Obama's Iraqi refugee ban and seven nations of terror proclamation.
But before Obama there was Bill Clinton who received a standing ovation for demanding stronger border defenses, and deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
"We are a nation of immigrants.. but we are a nation of laws""Our nation is rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country...Illegal immigrants take jobs from citizens or legal immigrants, they impose burdens on our taxpayers...That is why we are doubling the number of border guards, deporting more illegal immigrants than ever before, cracking down on illegal hiring, barring benefits to illegal aliens, and we will do more to speed the deportation of illegal immigrants arrest for crimes...It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws that has occurred in the last few years.. and we must do more to stop it."[Standing Ovation]
It's starting to get a little awkward for the identity politics of the left to defend their own history while denigrating Trump's actions.
