"The Baja California border is a popular crossing point for Iraqi Chaldeans"
They could be in Iraq fighting for their country's freedom instead of our young men and women! If these guys are given asylum,we have sunk to a new low!
Yep, that's just two more questions (in this small article) our gov't *should* answer.
These are most likely Iraqi CHRISTIANS (Chaldeans)who are fleeing from the persecution they have endured since the war. They have been targeted for helping the coalition, their churches bombed, their schools bombed. The women have had acid thrown on them for not wearing Muslim headdress, their stores have been bombed. I have read that since the war 400,000 have fled Iraq because of this. Check it out, it seems a huge disgrace to me that we have not tried to better protect this minority which should be dear to our hearts. Some of these CHRISTIANS still speak Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke (Passion of the Christ) and they are the only ones in the world who do. We should be giving them asylum, not forcing them to sneak over the border. Send the Arabs back and incorporate the Christians who could benefit our society and work as translators in our intelligence efforts.
