Ping.
I draw the line right here.
How can we tell which Muslims are not threatening? Myself, I will look upon them suspiciously for a long time to come.

In point of fact, they can hold you or prevent your re-entry to the US for pretty much any reason, because you are not yet legally _in_ the US, just like any mail or phone conversations crossing the border can be snooped on at will, and your person and your luggage are subject to (warrentless) search.
More than 30? Wow! BTW, did they have seminars on the proper way to behead someone and bomb making 101?

"From October 1, 2003 to July 20, 2004, the border patrols Tucson sector stopped 9,051 person crossing illegal who had criminal records in the U.S., meaning they committed crimes here, returned to Mexico, then were trying to re-enter the country," Time magazine wrote. "A minimum of 378 had active warrants for their arrest."
Most go undetected.
"The numbers suggest that tens of thousands of criminals, quite possibly hundreds of thousands, treat the border as a revolving door to crimes of opportunity," Steele wrote. "The situation is so out of control that 400,000 illegal aliens who have been ordered deported, 80,000 have criminal records, but Homeland Security does not have a clue as to the whereabouts of any of them, including those from countries that support terrorism."...
Of 114 Iranians with final orders for removal, only 11 could be found and deported. Of 67 Sudanese with final removal orders, only one was deported. Of 46 Iraqis, only four were deported. The rest are free to move about the country.
Not mentioned in the report was the 20,000 member "18th Street Gang" made up of 60% illegal aliens in Los Angeles. It distributes drugs from Mexico, commits robberies daily, extorts businesses and engages in drive-by shootings. Along with them, the 8,000 member MS 13 Central American gangs operate in 28 cities. If anyone wonders why drugs are SO available to our kids, thank our Congress for not fulfilling its oath of office. Even more sobering, these alien criminals are protected in hundreds of cities across the United States by "Special Order 40" that allows them to remain in country without fear of arrest or deportation.
"Both parties and their candidates pay lip service to controlling the borders," Barlett wrote. "In the 99/11 commissions final report, the panel took note of the immigration breakdown saying, "'Two systemic weaknesses came together in our border system's inability to contribute to an effective defense against 9/11 attacks: a lack of well developed counterterrorism measures as a part of border security and an immigration system not able to deliver on its basic commitments, much less support counterterrorism.'"
The TIME report rendered severe implications toward President Bush and members of Congress on both sides of the corridor. Citizens of the United States were not being served before 9/11 and today, they are JUST as vulnerable as 4,000 illegal aliens cross our borders daily. You have to wonder when Beslan, Russia's tragedy will visit an American school in the near future?
A whole 30 people? It appears as if everyone who attended this "convention" was in this particular caravan.
If so, thats too bad. We should have stopped her even if she didn't have a head covering on.
Then move.
You were let go and ran crying to the press...What's the problem? You want a fast track into the US?
Thank you for your post. Excellent reading!

That story about Al Queda and Latin American/Mexican gangs..... That what is scary and makes total sense. Plus, people say why the Mexican border? Because it is so porous.
You are correct!
My niece and I did a run over the bridge to Canada in Detroit to buy some candy (truly, Canadian Chocolate is yummy). We decided to take the car that she had borrowed from a friend who sells cell phones. We were unaware that he had his inventory stored in the trunk.
We went to Zellers and bought about 50.00 worth of candy for her to take back to Cleveland, got gas and headed back. The border patrol asked if we had anything to declare. We said chocolate. The guy looked at us like we were criminals. (who drives across the border with Ohio licence plates to buy chocolate???) He asked us to pop the trunk. WELL! we were detained for about 2 hours while they tried to contact the owner of the car. Finally, he verified that he worked for this company and it was his car. He had to call HIS boss to verify the fact as well.
I should have taken my soccermom van and we would have been fine.
Well when she was detained she was not yet legally *in* this country, so she can...never mind.
