When are we going to round up all these folks with expired student visas? Is anyone in washington paying attention?

... defense attorney John Sesini tried to persuade Circuit Judge Daniel L. Konkol to halve the $10,000 bail for Dlop, saying he has a fiancee eight months pregnant and was in the area to be closer to a brother who has lived here for six months ..."

So what? Try the guy, sentence him, send him to prison, and then deport him. Good riddance.

Greendale...wasn't that the school on the return address of the anthrax letter to Daschle? Interesting coincidence.

[mbb bill]

National ID cards would be good for them.

Our government philosophy seems to be: spend billions on security and the war effort while letting the cancer spread everywhere in this country. We will never be safe until these people are out of the U.S. Apparently, political correctness will prevail until some other catastrophic event occurs.

[Wm Bach]

Yeah, and if he had a National ID, this would never have happened. RrriiIIIIIGgghhht....

"Greendale...wasn't that the school on the return address of the anthrax letter to Daschle? Interesting coincidence."

You have sharp eyes, my friend. Hope the law enforcement people pursuing this case have equally sharp eyes.

[nevergore]

The feds are watching and picking up the errant ones....

Their primary focus are the ones that appear to be terrorist related.....not all the students wiith expired visas....I believe everyone could agree that the resources should be focused there first.....

In the past, the US gov actually encouraged students to stay beyond their Visa expiration in the past by turning a blind eye to the violaters....

The real problem is being quietly and quickly resolved although a dragnet will never catch them all.......

I'm afraid he's just a Dlop in the bucket of id theft. Probably not terrorist related...

[cake_crumb]

What I want to know is ...is this guy a Muslim? Could this be the ring that provides false identification papers for terrorists?

[snippy_about_it]

You're correct. Greendale was the fake school name used.

Picture of Letters

[HENRYADAMS]

Send him to prison? No! He has suffered. Immediately put his girl friend on the taxpayer support rolls. Forgive him(after all it is only mail).Elect him to public office and then place him charge of our military. We need more tolerance!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Oh, we couldn't do that! It might offend someone.

[tm61]

airlines are unable to closely inspect the baggage of arabs because we may offend some undeserving victim. We all know whats going to happen as a result.

[aristeides]

Senegal is 92% Moslem. So this guy very probably is a Moslem.

[pt17]

Yeah, and if he had a National ID, this would never have happened.

Once you create a National ID card, criminal elements will shift to forging them too. Better to greatly stiffen the penalities for all aspects of identity theft, say somewhere just short of "You steal or aid in the stealing of someone's identity, you die."

[malakhi]

Uh, just an FYI. The article refers to him being arrested in the VILLAGE OF GREENDALE, WI. The anthrax letters were mailed from New Jersey.

[cake_crumb]

Figures. How do we go about getting a heads up to the Office of Homeland Defense? I gotta do some research.

[cake_crumb]

Just an FYI: I think THE NAME GREENDALE IS WHAT CAUGHT JOEGAR'S ATTENTION.

[horsewhispersc]

My first wide grin this morning......and quiet giggle! hehehe, thanks
