Also, I remember reading that post 9/11 black Americans supported profiling for terrorists. The frequent targets of profiling, for lesser reasons (crime is less than a terror attack, is it not?), supported it. Why? Common sense - it works.

Prime example of how people will be all up at arms when they are the target, yet be perfectly fine applying the same to others. Let's see how the posters on this board would like their religious freedom taken away, to be deported because their beliefs are similar (in name, at least) with criminals. But it's fine to do to others!

Do unto others as you would...oh wait, nevermind...

I don't know what others said but profiling at airports and borders, fingerprinting and photographing, all of which I endorsed, are not the same as deporting which I did not mention. I did not mention deportation because it is not an option once US citizenship has been granted.

As to non-citizen guests, I think those from Arab as well as many Muslim countries should never have been admitted in the first instance. I would have no compunction, on the slightest provocation, to revoke their visitation here. Visiting here is a privilege not a right.

Post 9/11 there should have been a moratorium on all immigration from Arab and many Muslim countries till we got our immigration in order. As far as I can tell it is still not in order.

If you don't recognize that 9/11 brought a need for new ways of handling our national security and immigration policies, the next mega-terror attack may convince you.
