It was probably the media and some members of Congress trying to expose complicity or management failure in the WTC911 travesty that got everyone thinking that maybe a change ought to be made. I'm afraid things will get real ugly real quick if the expected next terrorist attack happens like they say, and it looks like it's going to get tough on anyone who looks like or sounds like a foreigner. It's happened before, here, to the Japanese and the Germans, and to others, and this country has always been more tolerant than almost any other country.
Got a funny feeling, Cap'n, we're giving it all she's got, and she'll let go if we push much harder.
