Calling concerns about foreign nationality "immigration hysteria" seems to me to be neglecting the origins of a potential national security thread...

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.

I plead not guilty on dense, but extra guilty with cheese on the sensitive.

Which is why I think *concern* over the national origin of those in the JFK case is warranted--ironic that it is the Kennedy airport, when it was another Kennedy's bill which helped cause the mess.

Agreed, that the authorities did come out and mention the nationality--but after so many other news stories about (say) "youths" in France, "protestors" in LA, and the like, one does tend to become a bit suspicious.

I would like to hear the rationale behind searching granny, btw--other than "her wheelchair would set off the metal detector."

BTW, I could understand the idea behind the government's dragging their feet on this stuff, IF they were buying time to prevent the wholesale Balkanization of the US, and vigilante justice while they cleaned up the problem. But in actuality, it appears to be not so much "lull us to sleep" as holding a chloroform-soaked rag over our face while the illegals drop their pants and take a quick fistful of Viagra to get ready...

Cheers!
