Please explain. There is a cute little 17 year old cheerleader at our highschool. She is a foreign exchange student from Danmark. How did she get to be a threat worthy of deportation? She's here on a Visa, and is an alien, so according to your rant she is suspect, should have her visa revoked, and expelled to save our nation. --- ASA Vet
I didn't rant. I linked. One of the links is to a discussion based on the idea of "revoking all visas". I listed that link in my post because there are many posts and points-of-view in that discussion. I personally subscribe to the idea of a Terrorist Deportation Plan, which would send all visitors home if they are from certain suspect countries. Last I checked Denmark (correcting your spelling) is not harboring terrorists. And if it were, I doubt if they would be blond Danish people, but rather, swarthy middle-easterns visiting Denmark for travel and a bit of terrorism.
I believe strongly in profiling, not just at the airport security checks, but at the visa window and the INS line.
The action I'm supporting would be focused on specific groups, but failing that, if the USA can't get smart enough to focus on those groups, I would accept a blanket ban on all visas, as much as it would inconvenience innocent people like your friend. Again, that's not what I hope happens and is not what I would vote for. I want to keep visitors from suspect countries out and let everyone else retain normal travel status. But if the only choice was "no visas" or "visas for everyone", I would have to vote "no visas".
We are at war. This is much more serious than any war we've ever been in. If we lose this one, we're out of the ballgame.
My ancestors were Dane not Dene, and the Danes spell it Danmark.
I'm sorry I used the term "rant," if it didn't apply.
I do not disagree that this should be a war.
However, I don't see us doing what's needed to deter terrorists from ever doing it again.
The only thing that will really work in the long term is to react
in a manner which causes future generations of our enemy (if any)
to lose bowel control at the mere mention of America.
I don't agree with deporting terrorists.
If they have been found to have taken part in any terrorist
activity against the US, they should just be shot.
