A Bolivian history professor hired last year by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln can’t start his job because U.S. immigration officials have blocked the visa process for the past eight months. Waskar Ali
The unexplained delay baffles history colleagues, frustrates UNL’s immigration expert and angers opponents of the U.S. Patriot Act, who see the case of Waskar Ari as more evidence that it’s used arbitrarily to punish those with no connection to terrorism.

Let them scream.
Anyone who cannot respect the laws of this country SHOULD NOT be teaching in a University. Period.
“It would have to be unimaginable circumstances for someone from Bolivia to be classified as a security risk,”
Now that certainly is a compelling argument. I guess Bolivia doesn't have terrorists just as Hawaii doesn't have snakes.
Any relation to Steve Sipple?

You mean like the 9.11 terrorist fellow traveler at USF-Tampa?
maybe UNL should try to smuggle this commie prof across into Arizona
“He’s not been living among militant revolutionaries the last few years,” the University of Maryland history professor says. “He’s been going to Georgetown.”
I am the only one who sees this as a really funny statement?

It *is* possible that the INS is simply doing its job, keeping a real security threat from re-entering the U.S. A more plausible explanation is bureaucratic inertia/incompetence. We have had similar problems, well before 9/11, with new hires on H-1B visas who returned home to visit parents and were not permitted to re-enter. We now routinely advise (the few) foreign nationals in our employ not to return home until they obtain permanent residency status.
Waskar Ari? Is that an indigenous Bolivian name? I wouldn't be surprised if he had cousins in the Middle East.
It would help if the reporter would tell us what his name is.
One place it is "Waskar Ali", another it is "Waskar Ari". The first sounds muslim, the second is more indeterminate.
He's far, far from the political "moderate" the leftist educrat describes him as...No, Mr. Waska Ari is a self-decribed Aymara "activist" and "collectivist" who advocates rejecting "white peoples' government," and makes excuses for the "rage" of the Aymara Indians -- extending to their MURDER and "public lynchings" of town mayors and council members.
Check it out here "Aymara Indians’ rage explodes"
Trying one more time: "Aymara Indians’ rage explodes"
Here is how Ari excuses away the murder of an elected official in Bolivia, Ilave Mayor Cirilo Robles, who was "was pulled out of a town council meeting, dragged several blocks, and beaten to death in the town square by an enraged mob":
With respect to the murder of [Mayor] Robles, [Waskar Ari] Chachaki underlined that it should be analyzed within the context of a social conflict.
So murder is OK "within the context of a social conflict."
This man is very, very dangerous. Kudos to whatever US immigration officials are keeping him OUT.
