What a bunch of whores. From the College and University administrators down to our gutless Representatives.

How about if the question is put forth on an issue and referendum?

I submit if Harvard should be allowed ONLY Muslim students, they'd be slightly to the right of Alan Dershowitz.

U.S. Needs Better Screening of Visa Applicants

Daily Policy Digest Terrorism Issues Wednesday, November 21, 2001

U.S. immigration needed an overhaul even before September 11. But experts argue Americans won't be made safer from terrorists by drastically limiting the number of Mexican poultry workers or Indian engineering students who come here. Yet that is what some want: imposing harsh limits on legal immigration. What's needed instead is a system that makes it harder for terrorists to enter and live here undetected for years.

We can improve the situation by keeping better track of those who come here and by having more current information on temporary and permanent resident aliens -- 40 percent of whom overstay their visas. But by far the most important reform is tighter screening of those who apply for visas.

Temporary visa applications are now processed by inexperienced employees in understaffed embassies and consulates abroad -- often without any attempt to check the background of the applicants.

Even after we learned 15 of the 19 September 11 terrorists obtained visas in Saudi Arabia, only two of the 104 Saudis applying for visas in the following month were called in for interviews by the American consulate in Jeddah, where 11 of the hijackers obtained their visas.

Some 500,000 student visas are given out every year, many to students from countries that support terrorism. About 22,000 refugees are approved and waiting immediate entry once the White House gives the OK -- including almost 6,000 Somalis, 9,000 Bosnians, 1,300 Afghans 700 Iranians and 400 Iraqis.

It makes sense, experts believe, to hold off on admitting any refugees -- or indeed any immigrants or visitors -- from any countries known to pose a terrorist threat.

One of the symptoms of a late empire is that each group in the empire no longer has any allegiance to the nation, but rather has allegiance only to what they can get out of the nation.

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.
