The Bush administration has rejected the prospect of mass deportations of Muslim illegal aliens.
The administration plans to relay this message to American Muslim leaders amid the current nationwide alert for an Al Qaida attack. Hundreds of Muslims have been detained as illegal aliens as part of a crackdown by federal law enforcement authorities, Middle East Newsline reported.
On Tuesday, FBI Director Robert Mueller will meet American Muslim leaders to discuss federal measures against Al Qaida threats. Muslim groups have filed a class action suit against the government, charging that the Immigration and Naturalization Service has arrested Muslims illegally.
Muslim groups said the millions of Muslims in the United States have been the target of a backlash since the Al Qaida suicide attacks on New York and Washington in September 2001. They said at least 15 Muslims and a Sikh have been killed in attacks around the country.
Officials said Mueller plans to discuss the attacks on Muslims as well as policy toward illegal aliens. They said this will include a law passed over the last year that requires citizens from many Arab and Islamic nations to register with the INS. The procedure also includes photographing and fingerprinting.
Muslim groups have expressed concern that the law will result in the detention and deportation of hundreds of thousands of Arab and Islamic immigrants who arrived illegally or whose visas have expired. The Alliance of Iranian Americans, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Council on American Islamic Relations, and the National Council of Pakistani Americans have asked a federal court to issue an injunction to prevent the prospect of mass arrests.
But officials said the administration plans to reassure Muslim groups that special procedures enacted over the last year will be limited to those immigrants regarded as security threats.

Problem is, Kalifornia is far from the only place that suffers from massive illegal immigration problems.
Exactly!! That way, no one group can claim that they are being singled out.
More and more Americans are asking why the borders aren't better protected. And more an more Americans want illegals deported. Perhaps NOW in the time to get a candidate that supports deprting illegals, ready for a run for President in 2008?
I agree, Risa. Nothing less that very existence of America is at stake here.
10 million illegals times $25,000 = $250 BILLION.
A lot of cash, but probably worth it.
No question about it. The acquisition and maintanence of power is much more important that the future of this country to the vast majority of politicians.
Are you kidding? Serurity reasons are exactly why we should be deport all of them immediately.
Such a move would pour gasoline on the fires of the Muslim 'rage'
'Muslim rage' is a redundancy. The only way to effectively fight it is to kick their asses to Hell, NOT to appease it.
So, your answer is that we should surrender our country to them, by leaving???
Right you are. Hall County Georgia, just south of my home, has a 40% Hispanic population with an estimated 65% of those illegal. It is a huge drain on the taxpayers of that county. Property taxes have sky-rocketed in that county as well as the surrounding counties due mainly to the increase in school taxes.
