Yes, they have no respect for the law. Just because they thought they might get off easy if they turned their potential terrorist asses in, is no reason to show mercy.



Also, can you believe this bullshit?:


----
''We have had hundreds of people detained in Orange County, Calif., Chicago, Michigan and New York,'' said Jason Erb, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. ''Some had their permanent status pending, some had their paperwork lost by the INS. They are getting swept up by this.''

Permanent status pending, yeah right! Lost their paperwork? har har har! bureaucrats never makes such mistakes (accidently or intentionally).

People who break the law do not respect the law.

So they marched down to the IRS as is the law?

Enforcement only applies to Whites (Oppressive imperialists of privelege) Christians (Religious Extremists) and Conservatives! (Right wing nuts)

You must listen to more NPR, CNN, and ADL "information." [sarcasm]

"Interesting in that there was absolutely NO coverage about this in the local print or video news. Liberals haven't even taken up the cause"

Because libs have been busy savagely taking to Lott's defense all of a sudden...

This is certainly a step in the right direction, and I applaud the move; but I've no doubt this represents only a drop in the bucket.

To start with, the list represents only those we know about. It obviously doesn't include those who come and go at will through our open borders.

Secondly, how many thousands are replacing them by entering the country legally? In addition to all the student, work, and tourist visas, we are constantly "resettling" more UN "refugees" from such compatible places as Somalia. As fast as one hand rounds them up, the other is bringing more in. My guess is that the "new" security checks done on these applicants is about as revised and effective as the new airport security checks.

I'm also wondering if any of these people ordered deported will actually ever leave the country.

In short, I am pleased to see the government actually doing something about these illegals. It's far too early, however, to feel any sense of relief.

You don't think any Arab Christians have been arrested?

If that was an out, how many would suddenly "find Jesus"? Remember within their religion and culture they are supposed to lie to the "infidel". Their methods reflect the MO of what biblical figure?

Hmmmmm...

I have one other question: how does a foreign student in the U.S. on a student visa get a green card? Do you know what the criteria are?

You cannot work on a student visa (not for money, anyway, although I knew a German student years ago who would regularly take unpaid jobs in his prospective field, if they would look good on his resume, or net him some connections). The university, as his employer, would have to sponsor the Jordanian for his green card. I'm not sure, but I believed he'd be allowed to work while that is being processed.

I'm trying to work from memory, of how it happened for my German friend. But he got his green card the old-fashioned way--by marrying a good friend of mine. ;D

You're right, there's been no coverage. This being a nation-wide program, you'd think this would have played out similarly all over the country.

"I think it is shocking what is happening. It is reminiscent of what happened in the past with the internment of Japanese Americans"...

Strange that this comparison came up, I visited the D-Day Museum in New Orleans, one exhibit was about the Japanese & their propaganda machine and how they demonized Americans. It was verbatum the same techniques, methods & words that Muslum countries are using to indoctrinate their followers against the U.S. now. To top that off, the attack on the WTC was identical in nature to the attack on Pearl Harbor, a total unprovoked surprise. Hmmmm..............

FYI et al, Regarding the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, there is another side of the story that was published in Chronicles, February 1995, by Ralph Walker, titled, "The Eternal Regiment, The Continuing Saga of the 442nd."

"Not all Japanese-American leaders have been forthright in their representation of the internment issue, which as stated above, is often viewed in light of the hallowed 442nd. Seldom discussed are the more than 15,000 German- and Italian - Americans who also were relocated and interned during the war. The politcally correct argument is that the Euro-Americans were located and intered because they were a potential threat: The Japanese-Americans were relocated and intered because of 'racism.' In fact, when the government wanted to close the relocation centers in December 1944 - long before the war's end - Japanese-American leaders both in and out of the relocation centers lobbied Washington not to close them. Among those many reasons: the evacuees' lands had been leased for the duration of the war; some of the Japanese nationals were still not convinced that Japan would lose the war; and as Lillian Baker reported in her 1991 book, "The japanning of America: Redress & Reparations Demands by Japanese-Americans ('japanning' referring to the process of blackening fabric or metal; in this case, the varnishing of truth and the blackening of America's honor), some of the Japanese 'frankly never had it so good, being given three meals a day, a bed, medical attention, and no requirement to work for any of this and [some of them] actually wept when the relocation centers were closed. This meant these men were going from on-labor back to stoop labor."

"Remember, all that the evacuees were required to do to be released from the relocation centers--and from the dances, dinners, concerts, parties, schools, and graduation ceremonies that the centers provided the children and their families at taxpayers' expense, which Japanese-American lobbyists in the 1980's described as 'pain and hardship' - was to pledge allegiance to the United states and to resettle in one of the 44 available states not designated a military zone."

There was more information on the 442nd Japanese-American regiment, but the article is too long to transcribe, but we must also remember that there were Japanese-Americans who were sympathetic to their mother country. Also, it must be remembered that these were interment and holding camps, not concentration camps as the liberal media would have us believe. Has anyone ever heard of one Japanese-American in the interment camps ever having been tortured or murdered? Would that our POWs in Germany and Japan in WWII, in Korea and Vietnam, have had half the treatment given to Japanese-Americans in these camps, they wouldn't have perished or come back as skeletons.

...the American Civil Liberties Union compared the arrests to the internment of Japanese Americans in camps during the Second World War...that is the last thing the democRATS did right.
