If they are illegal, deport.

[Buffalo Bob]

Don't try to understand 'em.
Just round them up and brand 'em.

"That sends a very wrong message that might invite injustices against many people,"

No, you send the wrong message supporting illegals and terrorists.

Round 'em up.....

Arab-American leaders are concerned that Arabs are being singled out,

No, Arabs are not being singled out, only people who are breaking the law from countries that have people attacking us.

You wouldn't happen to have the URL for the actual story, would you? The link you gave goes the the site's front page and the story isn't there.

Federal agents will begin arresting thousands on men Monday as part of the investigation into terrorist activity, Local 4 reported.

I missed that WP article, but how nice of the WP, the TV station, Local 4, and whoever leaked this news to give them such advanced warning...

Of course, there's always the possibility that we're tired of rounding these people up and are hoping they'll all flee the country before Monday...

[Rubber Duckie]

Arab-American leaders are concerned that Arabs are being singled out, in the face of profiling and other backlash since the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

How many of the hijackers were not Arabs? How many were female? Sorry, jerk, but women from Mexico here to clean houses do not fit the profile. Given the limited availablity of law enforcement personnel, the last decade of porous borders and the fact that these illegals are already breaking the law by refusing deportation and going on the lam after they've had their day in court, there is no more logical place to start.

And if I were a loyal American of Arab descent, I'd feel this way even more strongly! The quicker they get these illegals out of the country, the less the danger of backlash to those of us who share the same ethnic origin. The last thing I'm going to do is blame those who are suspicios of Arabs now and weren't before. The first ones I'll blame is those who hid in our community and besmirched our name!

Goodbye to the unwanted.

Get 'em!! Get 'em! Why wait til Monday?

"That sends a very wrong message that might invite injustices against many people," said Imad Hamad of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee

If Imad is agin' it, I'm fer it!

This initiative coming to light in Michigan brings to mind an issue I've been meaning to post. One of the issues the FBI is wrestling with is: How to share information with local law enforcement agencies? This becomes a real issue when one of those agencies is a Dearborn, MI, where around 1/3 of the population is Arab Muslim. How many sleepers does the enemy have planted in THAT P.D., pulling intelligence data on who needs to really hide. Portland comes to mind as another P.D. that I would initially distrust, given the PC nonsense you hear from the mayor.

[rebdov]

Is Imad Hadad a citizen or on an expired tourist visa? Why is he so quick to defend illegals? Maybe he has some less than honorable connections with the illegal Muslims?

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Oh great!!! Now these guys have been forewarned!!! "En guerra avisada no muere soldado."

[AAABEST]

Good start.

After that they can start on the 10 million or so Mexicans. All of which seem to reside in my town.

"The Initiative" 314,000 illegals to be rounded up!

Good Start!

[Go Gordon]

The sweep calls for the arrest of 314,000 absconders,

NEWSFLASH: Democrats lose 314,000 votes from the last election cycle, maybe even 628,000.

[ken5050]

Sounds to me like this thread is "bashing" illegals...did you get it cleared in advance...

[healey22]

This INS is corrupt, incompetent and should be abolished. As far as them rounding up 314,000 illegals - I will believe it when I see it. This is just more window dressing to deflect from how corrupt this agency is. INS Commissioner Ziglar and his staff are for more illegal immigration. Ziglar take his orders from big business who wants cheap labor and the INS staff wants illegal votes for DemoCRAPs and big union. What the American people want does not matter even though poll after poll shows that the American people want an end illegal immigration and illegal aliens deported.

[Osinski]

Yay. And they're starting in Detroit?
