Obama barred access to the Visa Waiver Program for "High Risk" countries. This was not an outright ban on immigration, it just eliminated access to a "fast lane" for people who needed to visit the US for 90 days or less.

The US has had continuous bombing/droning of Muslim countries for 15 years now.

Most recently, UN estimates of civilians killed in Yemen, many by US-made bombs ( https://www.hrw.org/news/2016/12/08/yemen-us-made-bombs-used... ) exceeds 4,000 ( https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/01/12/yemen-no-accountability-... ), I've seen others around 10,000+. That was an Obama-backed campaign.

I have a lot of respect for the people who have been protesting the entire time. I have a great deal of suspicion of those who are suddenly speaking up.

Does SV care about human rights, or are they more concerned about their continued access to H1-B Visa holders?
