The fox is already in the hen house, a little late to be closing the door, huh? Just deport all the bastards. Does anyone remember someone from the Muslim community stepping forward with a warning? NAH, didn't think so!

If the INS can get anything off the ground in less than a decade, it will be truly amazing.

BTW, I think when this DB initially was planned a few years ago, it was squelched due to the "privacy concerns" of foreign student groups.

Once it's operational, the system will be paid for with a $95 fee charged to each foreign student, Ziglar said.

Why don't we charge each individual $95 non refundable fee. Plus 1,000 dollar bond for college visas, that will be returned when your visa expires and you leave!

Hey Government, this isn't rocket science!

P.S. #4 Otherwise keep the bast@rds OUT!

This stuff is mindboggling. You could just cry. "While we slept," indeed. Buchanan is the only one I've heard saying what has to be true: Every terrorist organization in the world ALREADY has at least 100 operatives in the US. The system has been so lax.

I know we're hearing a lot from our leaders about how we are not supposed to discriminate against Muslims, blah, blah, blah. But my hunch is the only line of defense we can really count on is each other, regular people looking out for their own safety and the safety of people around them and being suspicious of middle easterners who appear to fit the profiles of the hijackers. It will be difficult for Muslims, but so be it.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service was ordered in 1996 to develop a database program by Dec. 20, 2003, to keep track of the approximately 600,000 foreign students in the United States.

Dear Lord if this isn't an example of ineptitude I don't know what is. Give me the old fashioned Dbase or the more modern Access and I'd have this thing running, quickly efficiently, toute d'suite.

Hey....gubmint....we have COMPUTERS now! With form letters, automatic lookups, links, databases, WHY CAN'T THEY DO THIS?

I *am* a business consultant and have done this very sort of thing, including creating a database to track all AIDS cases for a hospital in Baltimore. It is *not* that damn difficult.

Sure it's a grander scale and you've got all those gubmint agencies with which to interact but give me some good people, put me in charge, in two months I have it done, boom.

I'd have that puppy linking up to whatever bureaucracy issues visas. I'd have a daily report of expired visas with modem links to the universities which are alleged to be attending, boom, click on the link, CALL THEM UP! And if the answer ain't satisfactory, boom, form letter pops out. I'd track the responses and within a programmed period of time, boom, pull the Visas. Send a form letter to the FBI, go out and round them up.

No, I am *not* oversimplifying. Compared to the money and power of the United States government, my abridged plan above is analogous.

I'm serious when I say over and over again, the gubmint CANNOT handle this.

Can't Larry Ellison and Oracle volunteer some resources? He was all ready to provide database software and expertise to track natural American citizens, for cryin' out loud! Where's Larry on this one? It's much more immediately important.

GPS microchip implants for everyone granted a student visa.

Since most "imports" are non-christian, the "mark of the beast" argument is moot.
