Abstract
Hijackers who flew airliners into World Trade Center and Pentagon exploited immigration system that critics contend is riddled with loopholes and that is geared to ease the way for commerce, whether in form of tourism, business or study; experts on terrorism say security precautions often take back seat to pressure from industry, concerns of neighboring governments and even bureaucratic rivalries in US government; say sheer volume of daily border crossings--300 by land from Mexico alone--make exclusion of all foreign terrorists impossible; photo (M)
Five Israelis Held In New York |
October 25, 2001 Five young Israelis are "on the verge of collapse," according to family members, as their incarceration in New York on charges relating to the Bin Laden attacks continues. They were arrested on Sept. 11, only hours after the World Trade Center attack, on charges of "plotting to blow up" a New York bridge. |
LOL!!
So they were in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!! Was this lady's son a motivational speaker by any chance? ;)
There are a LOT of us with foreign-born dependents who would be MIGHTY unhappy with the likes of you if anything like what you preach should happen. MIGHTY unhappy. And a LOT of us are military and vets, just the very kind of people who you do NOT want to have so unhappy during "wartime". My Jamaican wife is far more patriotic than many who were born here. Her son is seriously thinking of U.S. military service. YOU are a dolt if you are contemplating such an hysterical and DUMB act.
I'd just like to see them deport the people from countries where Al Qaeda has a presence, and scrutinize the ones from other Arab countries. When a bunch of Mexicans crash into the Sears tower, then maybe we should worry about them. But as far as Sept. 11 goes, illegal Mexicans aren't all that relevant.
Well Mr. Old Hoosier from Indiana, can you tell me that or give me facts or data or *guarantee* that out of the *million and millions* of illegal aliens criminally entering our country from our southern border, that NONE are potential terrorist in waiting?
Can you garantee that out of these millions and millions, none harbor anger towards America? Can you garantee that out of the millions and millions of illegal aliens none will murder our citizens or commit brutal crimes against us?
Where are your stinking garantees that these millions of criminal illegal aliens, people who crap on our laws and sovereignty are not terrorist, are not criminals, and will not commit crimes against Americans?
Sadam Hussein could put on a New York Yankees cap and enter this nation from our southern border with little or no effort for crying out loud.
