Senator Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, is instead focusing on the creation of a biometric card for all visa holders that would contain their fingerprint and a retinal scan.
''She decided to pull back'' on the moratorium proposal after meeting with college officials and organizations that represent them, Jim Hock, her press secretary, said this week. ''The schools assured her they would work with [the Immigration and Naturalization Service] to improve security.''

I wholeheartedly agree! The foreign students, especially those from China and other East Asian countries, know how to take a test, i.e. memorize. Many I have met do not know how to solve the most basic problems on their own.
The tide may be turning on employment for foreigners. I met a south Asian student the other day who said that everyone she knows (foreigners) are having a difficult time finding jobs since 9-11.
By what stretch of logic should we hand our strenghts to our current or potential future enemies?
Time and again history has shown that foreign nationals, educated in our country, are not endeared to our culture as a consequence of their experiences. Our present policies are an extension of liberal guilt gone mad.
At least I understood the motivation for Clinton and Ron Brown; simple, personal greed. I don't understand our continued policy now that the cess pool has been mucked out of the executive mansion.
The notes regarding this process were interesting. The fact is that our whole national process works in much the same manner. We can't get true conservatives into public office because those who preceded them are so darned leftist.
Candidates who are truly conservative haven't a chance of getting in generally, and when they do their hands are tied just like the diplomatic candidates hands would have been.
Harvard is one college that sees no problem excepting money, a lot of it, from the Bin Laden family and Osoma himself! Educate Americans First!
Here you go!

When is this going to be in place? Are the Universities paying for this?
by the way, no ban means they can fake the IDs and what not and stil come.
Guns don't kill, illegals do.
Despite the government's seeming rush to initiate controls over US Citizens there should be no need for that at all; if they want to take out a sect or militia the only have to charge them with "possible suspected tendancies toward child endangerment".
It worked before.
These universities believe that foreign = more $$$.
The wealthy foreign students will have to pay all the costs associated with these biometric programs (retina scanners cost like $10,000) and the equipment will be in place for expanded use. Good deal for us.
I guess we will just have to wait like rabbits in the anaconda pen until one of these sweet students decides to blow themselves to pieces along with scores of mall goers.
In late Rome, there were no more patriotic Roman citizens (mass waves of immigration, cultural mixing, and unverisal citizenship had rendered the concept of "Roman citizen" a meaningless abstraction). The empire came to consist only of various sub-groups who vied for control of the governing machinery for their own immediate benefit. The few patriots left came to realize that their sacrifices weren't for the sake of the Roman ideal.....but rather were just protecting the blood-suckers who controlled the system.
Without patriots, such as John Paul Jones or Audie Murphy, a society can not and will not defend itself against foreign and domestic enemies. It becomes merely a giant scramble for goodies and power.
The people that run our universities are not Americans and have no allegiance to Western Civilization. They are only concerned with power, money, and their own corrupt ideology.
Question ... how hard would it be for a terrorist to borrow the identity of a willing accomplice who has a 'clean' background? Answer ... not very hard.
Second question ... once in the US with his biometric card that says his fingerprints and eyes match up to his name, Mohammad (when his real name is Abu - HeHeHe), what does this biometric card accomplish? Answer ... not very much.
Last question ... how often do solutions proposed by bloated federal bureacuries to problems created by bloated federal bureacracies actually solve the problems? Answer ... not very often.
Unfortunately, it appears that profit is waaaaaay more important than either freedom or the lives of American citizens.
The American citizenry by and large has NO idea we've been moled.
That main organ has been through that American "traditional paragon of virture", Colleges and Universities. Viper nests like Harvard, Berkeley, and New York City University have been anti-American boot camps and socialists-in-training compounds for ages.
And BTW -- just what we need -- "educated" assassins trained in our own backyards, eh?
Bingo. We are approaching the eleventh hour of "Late Great American Republic."
I guess that's why we've all checked in to 'Free Republic' -- to somehow arouse and assemble our brethren before it's too late.
