Protesters gathered in front of Sacramento's Immigration and Naturalization Service office Tuesday to call for the elimination of a special registration program that they say unfairly targets Middle Eastern and Muslim men.

About 100 people showed at the midday rally and press conference to oppose one of the federal government's post-Sept. 11, 2001 policies, which requires men from mostly Arab and Muslim countries to be interrogated, fingerprinted and photographed by immigration officials.

Men from 13 other countries -- Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Eritrea, Lebanon, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Qatar, Somalia, Tunisia, United Arab
Emirates and Yemen -- face a Friday deadline to register.

I can think of About 100 people who should be deported.

A government that did NOT take this precaution after 9/11 would be judged to be insane and the leaders removed by force. The lefty crazies continue to expose themselves, I hope someone is snapping digital pictures.

100 protesters . . . not exactly a groundswell. They're quite welcome to go somewhere they'd be happier - Baghdad maybe?

You know, I can see their point. Muslims and Middle-Eastern men belong to the Religion of Peace. We all know that the real danger is from those savage killer Icelanders and Fijians.

"...they say unfairly targets Middle Eastern and Muslim men."

Of course. Perfect. Everything is just fine. Let more of these upstanding young Islamic men them in. Give them welfare and machine guns. Who cares?

I used to live in America. It seems that I must have gotten lost somewhere along the line and ended up in an insane asylum.

Round 'em up and ship 'em out.

Which is why I have yet to see one of those CA liberal Senators/Congressman protesting this policy.

..But they're non-Citizens they don't vote anyway.
