Neville, it is true that Carter ordered the cancellation of Iranian-U.S. visas and a moratorium on new visas, with exceptions for humanitarian and otherwise compelling situations. However, that is not the same as Trump’s plan. Carter’s actions were in retaliation for the taking of American hostages with the connivance of the new government. Trump wants a restriction on a religious basis because of the actions of individuals. This would be akin to banning Jewish immigration because of the likes of Emma Goldman (not to mention Trotsky, who lived in the Bronx after being forced to flee Czarist Russia)and Lepke Buchalter (whose actions even shocked Lucky Luciano). Not to mention that the plan is unworkable. As Rabbi Pruzansky pointed out, how would a person’s religion be determined? By asking him?
