"Victim" defense? Hmmm. I don't think that's valid except in the fevered imaginations of some.

These guys violated the provisions of their visas. Open and shut case.

For many years I was the principal activist in Springfield who kept touch with the politicians so that we could keep the Commuter Pickup operation going (called, by some, the "slug line").

You might call it hitch-hiking, but I called it "the free lunch".

People do this and don't get hurt.

Here's something for you to remember when you are in a foreign country ~ if you violate the terms of your visa you could end up in jail ~ so behave yourself and don't come crying to us that the Turks, Mexicans and Brazilians are nasty people when this happens.

"These guys violated the provisions of their visas. Open and shut case."

That isn't the issue in dispute. The issue is whether or not there was an ulterior motive for 11 of them to wander off to various parts of the U.S. You seem to think it was an innocent mistake by 11 different Egyptians. That's your choice. I'd like to know a little more about the whole situation. I'd rather err on the side of security, than assume this was nothing more than ignorant foreigners being "lost."

People hitchhike and don't get hurt? People hitchhike and do get hurt. Commuter Pickup Operation? What is that? Some PC name for a welfare program?

Funny, ICE is treating them as though they didn't actually enter the United States. That's why they are going before an immigration judge ~ they misrepresented their reasons for getting visas.

Once they're back in Egypt you can find out all the good stuff.

We have an HOV-3 lane from points in Virginia to DC. Commuters without enough riders can stop and give someone a ride into town and thereby qualify to use the HOV lanes.

This was organized by good, solid Republicans.

Go pound sand buddy.

You said Springfield. Since you claim to have been all over the world, I assumed (in error) that you meant Springfield, Illinois, not Springfield, Va. I'm not a mind reader. Having traveled the Beltway and 95 numerous times, I'm familiar with HOV-3 lanes, not your slang term of Commuter Pickup Operation. Try speaking English. As far as pounding sand...buddy, I'd rather pound salt. I'll leave the sand to you.

I'd like to know how they got to where they were found...Did they hitchhike, get on a bus, walk, bike, what!!

And did they not think they were "lost".
