Do you have details on Carter's ban of Iranians?
Reagan's "ban" on Cuban is targeted towards those in cahoots with the government. Cause cold war. Cubans notoriously are able to immigrate here easier than any other nationalities because of "wet food dry foot" which basically says if they can make it to Florida they can be a US citizen.
Not allowing people to immigrate here through illegal means (by boat) is not a ban.
How border control treats those they catch trying to enter illegally is a totally different and depressing topic.
