Calling concerns about foreign nationality "immigration hysteria" seems to me to be neglecting the origins of a potential national security thread...
I pointed out that authorities were completely upfront about their nationality and immigration status, hence no need to launch into a tangent.
But it's NOT a tangent: if we had stricter immigration policies (as opposed to the Kennedy-penned 1965 bill which gave the finger to Europeans), and if we had the pre-Clinton regulations governing potentially sensitive positions, this threat would not have materialized in the firstplace.
The old Calvin and Hobbes strip will describe our situation, if this goes on. (Think of old ladies in wheelchairs, strip searches on blonde women with babies, etc. ) Calvin would be the US government and Hobbes, natural-born citizens. "Putting away the toys" would be better immigration control.
Cheers!
No, no, no.
How dense are you?!
I am completely for sealing the borders and deporting every illegal around here.
What I do not support is contrived hysteria, like in this case. The writer of the post falsly claimed that the authorities were witholding the immigration status of those charged with the plot to attack JFK.
That writer was creating something out of nothing.
Don't be so sensitive!
PS: There is a very good reason to search old ladies in wheelchairs, if you are interested in an explanation.
