November 1, 2001 -- WASHINGTON - The feds will give the boot to terrorist sympathizers - and keep them from entering the country - under tough new immigration rules announced yesterday by Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Ashcroft designated 46 terrorist groups, many connected to terror mastermind Osama bin Laden, and said any immigrant who has supported them would be considered persona non grata in the United States.

I wonder if Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are in the lucky 46

Rock and roll time.

It's about time . . .

I wonder how many of our University Professors will be keeping an eye out for the INS after this announcement?

THANKYOU! Now please follow through! Hate to be a cynic, but let's face it, this is the gov we're talking about. We have lots of laws on the books that NEVER get prosecuted!

Like the guys will walk up, and say: "Hello. My name is Abdul, and I am a member of al-Qaeda. Let me in."

These guys are smarter than the current INS, as evidenced by the last few years. We need to disolve the current INS.

Two new departments--one for immigration processing. The second a Security Force, for Border and Entry Control. You don't get to immigration, until cleared by Security. New team, new leaders, new rules.

We'd better get a clue, and get it quick. Ridge and Ashcroft are career government hacks. We need Border Security, run military style, military mindset.

The whole process could be simplified by putting Islam on the list.

Sorry to be cynical but I'll believe this when I see or hear of them being thrown out. Let it happen and let us be told the names as they are thrown out.
