Exactly what freedoms does this story suggest ending? I hardly consider background checks on foreign nationals -- something the State Department routinely fails to do -- as an assault on any American's freedom.

As far as making more laws, the gist of the complaints against 245(i) is that it should not be reinstated, since it provides a loophole. We need less laws that allow potential terrorists to enter the country.

Freedom is not the same as a national death wish.

Unless of course, you want to be free to destroy our nation.

No, this story has a different twist. The loophole was in the amnesty legislation which has expired, but which GW wants to pass again. The article is more a warning about allowing 245i to be slipped back into law.
