I live about 5 miles from one of the largest oil refineries in the US. The main products are Gasoline and Military Jet Fuel.

We can't deport these guys....they'll just come back under a new name....evidently getting false papers is easy to do. So what do we do with 'em?

So many holes in this that it is rediculous. We have such a serious hole in our borders that I'm about to go crazy.

Lets see, he's tresspassing. He studies the complex while being given directions. Overstayed his visa. Quit school for a year. A business major. Has a chauffer's license with HazMat certification. Truck driver training. Did I miss anything.

And they're going to have a hearing to see if he should be deported!!! DUH!!!!

They should tow this guy 100 miles out into the Atlantic on a rowboat and let him find his way somewhere. Make that 300 miles just to be sure.

I hope that the FBI starts talking to the INS again as well.

Before that, Abdrafigin told investigators that he'd lived for a while in Joplin.

I wonder why he had a P.O. box in Duenweg.

[RichardW]

Duenweg is right next to Joplin so this isn't particularly troublesome but for the life of me I can't see why he would have a haz/mat licence. This smells to high heaven.

[Sueann]

The fact that he has a hazmat license is more than troubling to me! This guy is one of bin Laden's group. The fact that he's here on a student visa - grossly expired visa - it's very alarming to me.

This is why the Clinton administration wanted the colleges to track the students and not the INS; because the colleges would not and did not do the job. And ... I just have to comment here about my theory of this - I have believed ever since 9/11 that Clinton was waiting for something like this - in fact his EO appointing Janet Reno in charge of everything always made me wonder what he was up to. I will always believe Clinton knew they were going to strike somewhere - it was the opportunity he was waiting for - to take over the government - and proclaim himself president forever. I know it sounds far fetched, but I still believe Clinton was hoping it would happen.

This guy seems dirty. He needs to be interrogated thoroughly.

I'd been thinkin that the extreme survivalists were bonkers, but the more of these type stories I read, the more I'm committed to readying the gear for a homefront war.

Our borders have been compromised for far too long, the double edged sword that allows me to keep my unnecessary 'assault' rifle would surely have allowed a massive army of bad guys to be 'sleeping' around the country. We may be ripe for some rather large conventional hits to lightly/undefended targets very soon if we dont DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS IMMEDIATELY !!!

"We should tatoo him with a Lets Roll Eagle on an American Flag Backgound with an ID number. If we find someone with an expired visa, a HAZMAT license, inside a prohibited area fence at a utility, during these times. We would be crazy to just deport him and give him another chance."

All mideastern males should be put on notice that if they are found on United States soil illegally, they will be subject to an involuntary sex change by top notch U.S. surgeons, and upon completion of their breast growing esterogen therapy, facial electrolysis, and healing of some other, choice "cuts," will be forcibly repatriated to the moslem world...wearing nothing but handcuffs, flip-flops and a light coat of bacon grease.

[End Cartesian math gnosticism]

The INS and the FBI have to stop being P_ ssies and round up and deport these bastards!!!!!

[paul51]

The sheriff said that people with whom Abdrafigin had been staying in Neosho have contacted the Sheriff’s Department to express concern over what will happen to him.

Were they by any chance mid eastern also?

Let's see, Middle Eastern, Muslim, student, expired visa, truck driving training, haz mat cert, casing a natural gas facility, ahhhh. Let me see, anything suspicious here.

Is this some kind of joke?

[Calpublican]

What about all those guys they rounded up with illegal haz-mat licenses shortly after 9/11? The news report I heard said they were almost all released. Why weren't they deported? Guess they didn't have enough to hold them or enough to deport them. We don't want to violate their rights I guess. It's downright creepy.

[Letitring]

We have got to do something. This is awful. Students (gag) were all over Houston and Dallas checking out buildings. Pretended to be art students. Found all over those buildings, in odd places. These jerks have spent years checking things out.

[flaglady47]

Boy, tattooing them is a great idea! Just as you mark bears in the national parks to see if they keep returning to populated areas, so too we should do this with anyone whom we deport. At least if we catch them a second time in the country, we can them jail them and throw away the key.

[blam]

"The US govt. better start getting these SOBs out of the country before some patriotic americans start taking care of the problem."

Yup, deported for their own protection.

[CarolAnn]

Hells bells, that's just a little too close to home (Within 150 or so. Hopefully my little burg is just too small to be a target. We have a natural gas pump station just a couple of miles down the road. It's being watched with eagle eyes though. Everyone that works there has to take their turn being on patrol, and they are serious about the patrols too.

[CarolAnn]

My brain is faster than my fingers....I meant 150 MILES. Sheez. Maybe sleep will help.

Just as you mark bears in the national parks

Let's put the orange neck collars and EAR TAGS (the ones that pop rivet on) on them, heheh.
