It's not like they are going to miss celebrating Christmas ...

[xm177e2]

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

[cmsgop]

Ooops! Got Allah ?

[John Lenin]

The law is the law.

[optimistically_conservative]

If INS and DOJ can justify detaining 500-1,000 immigrants for criminal acts, so be it.

Honestly, I think Ashcroft's bulb is on the same circuit with Lott's.

Is he making it safer for me by handing government to the Democrats?

[San Jacinto]

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

If so, who cares?

If someone was arrested, it means they were not in compliance with the immigration laws. That means they are subject to arrest, and hopefully deportation.

They are being treated as criminals and that really goes against American ideals of fairness, and justice and democracy," Khan said.

Yup, life is hard, then you die. In the meantime, don't come into this country, break its laws, then complain we're not fair. Buh bye.

... those arrested had violated immigration laws, overstayed their visas, or were wanted for crimes

Fine by me. Next issue please.

[John Lenin]

Why have laws if we don't enforce them ?

[kristinn]

INS spokesman Arcaute said those arrested had violated immigration laws, overstayed their visas, or were wanted for crimes.

We had to read halfway through this "news" story to learn why these people were being held. The propaganda is thick and heavy, but at least one sentence of truth was included here.

[MonroeDNA]

About time.

[Diana Rose]

To all those who think you are being screwed by the US

Tapping my finger to my chin...Now who messed up your play house?

Answer: The Terrorists.

Now go whine to the real people who ruined your good thing.

[sheik yerbouty]

Shi'ite happens!

[dagnabbit]

The arrests sparked a demonstration by hundreds of Iranians outside a Los Angeles immigration office. The protesters carried banners saying "What's next? Concentration camps?" and "What happened to liberty and justice?."

Freepers shouldn't let this cr@p go unanswered too long.
"Open Borders = 9-11"

[CARepubGal]

"Happy Holidaaays to you" I must say I feel a great sense of relief now. Hope the INS gets more jehadis soon and starts deporting the bastards.

[Shermy]

I don't see Saudi Arabia or Yemen on the list. Looks like our cold war "enemies."

[eastforker]

The time is near folks.Just rounding up a few who are not supposed to be here when the s$it hits the fan in the next week or so,and it is about time dammit!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

"Terrorists most likely wouldn't come to the INS to register. It is really a bad way to go about it. They are being treated as criminals and that really goes against American ideals of fairness, and justice and democracy," Khan said.
And neither will criminals when it comes to Gun Registration.

[Palladin]

This was long overdue. What are we supposed to do--sit on our hands while illegal immigrants and those on phony or expired visas get in their cropdusters and spread a plague all over California?
