Thanks, Sabe. Very important stuff!

The plan to give priority to a group of Arab and Muslim men over other foreign nationals has raised concerns among some Arab American and immigrant advocate groups that the Bush administration is practicing racial profiling in its war on terrorism. The vast majority of people ignoring deportation orders are Hispanics from Latin America.

Yeah, what we need to do is focus on Ecuadorean absconders, that way we'll sure to find lots of terrorists. Better still, Polish absconders! And leave those Arab absconders with criminal histories from terrorist nations alone! (Don't you just hate it, when the authorities focus on a guy just because he comes from the Sudan, has a few arrests and felony convictions, ties to terrorists, and had the bad luck to skip out on a deportation order?! I mean, if that doesn't prove that America is a racist nation, nothing will!)

Justice officials, including Attorney General John D. Ashcroft, have repeatedly denied that ethnicity plays a role in their anti-terrorism strategies.

Way to go, General. Lie, lie, lie! You're really helping your credibility, pal!
