This article does not tell the whole truth. The people who are being deported ARE "law-abiding" citizens... except for the fact they are in America illegally.

The U.S. does not deport people just because they are Muslim. If it did, *I* would leave this country, too. But it's just not happening.

I just cannot understand this pandering to illegal immigrants. What benefit is there to risking security in this country? If we waged an entire war against Iraq to take pre-emptive measures against terrorists why can we not be pre-emptive in our own country and weed out those who are suspect and who could possibly cause us the most damage? Being in America should be a privilege, not a right!!!

If CAIR is happy, then I am not happy. CAIR is squarely on the side of Muslism extremism: its goal is to put lipstick on that pig.

Immigration ping.

Anti-Muslim, no.
Anti-terrorist and anti-illegal alien, yes.
Let's get the terminology straight.

More political correctness that will someday result in more American deaths.

Apparently, the lessons of 9/11 have not been learned yet.

I wonder if it will take another horrific attack before we wise up.

Why is islamic propaganda posted here?

Here's the referenced article from the Washington Times:

Visitor registration to be replaced

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- A Muslim-focused U.S. visitor registration program is expected to be dropped within days.

The program became problematic for the Department of Homeland Security when thousands of people who complied were arrested or ordered deported, according to several government officials.

Homeland Security spokesman Bill Strassberger and other officials said a new border-control effort set to begin Jan. 5, the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program, will play a similar role in monitoring visitors. The program will use photographs and fingerprints to log entries and exits at major U.S. airports and seaports, the Washington Post said Friday.

Nearly 14,000 foreign nationals who showed up to be fingerprinted and photographed for the existing registration program were subjected to deportation proceedings. Authorities also have said the effort resulted in the identification of dozens of criminals and seven people with possible ties to terrorism. More than 83,000 visitors were registered.

Just ask what everyones religion is and get it over with. Say it's for the census. Case closed.

Too many mouths making too many words is all..

Stop talking and philosophising, and just do.
