Mass deportation of Muslim illegal aliens ruled out

The Bush administration has rejected the prospect of mass deportations of Muslim illegal aliens.

The administration plans to relay this message to American Muslim leaders amid the current nationwide alert for an Al Qaida attack. Hundreds of Muslims have been detained as illegal aliens as part of a crackdown by federal law enforcement authorities, Middle East Newsline reported.

On Tuesday, FBI Director Robert Mueller will meet American Muslim leaders to discuss federal measures against Al Qaida threats. Muslim groups have filed a class action suit against the government, charging that the Immigration and Naturalization Service has arrested Muslims illegally.

Muslim groups said the millions of Muslims in the United States have been the target of a backlash since the Al Qaida suicide attacks on New York and Washington in September 2001. They said at least 15 Muslims and a Sikh have been killed in attacks around the country.

Officials said Mueller plans to discuss the attacks on Muslims as well as policy toward illegal aliens. They said this will include a law passed over the last year that requires citizens from many Arab and Islamic nations to register with the INS. The procedure also includes photographing and fingerprinting.

Muslim groups have expressed concern that the law will result in the detention and deportation of hundreds of thousands of Arab and Islamic immigrants who arrived illegally or whose visas have expired. The Alliance of Iranian Americans, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Council on American Islamic Relations, and the National Council of Pakistani Americans have asked a federal court to issue an injunction to prevent the prospect of mass arrests.

But officials said the administration plans to reassure Muslim groups that special procedures enacted over the last year will be limited to those immigrants regarded as security threats.

eenie meenie minie moe...If you are illegal, then you gotta go!!!!

Now, how many Americans have to die before Arabs are considered security threats, 100, 1000, 5000 or is it more?

Would 50,000 have to die in a relatively large number of attacks or would we be looking for mass killings like in NYC and Washington (which were really not successful when you look at the potential) to begin deporting the "ones" who are obviously security threats.

I think we should have an idea up front.

Only in America. Anywhere else, my first thought would be that the headline is from the Onion.

This is the only real point I don't agree with the Bush administration on. What part of "Illegal" don't they understand? Forget that many of these people create a great burden for the taxpayers of this nation, they pose a direct threat to our citizens. If anything horrible happens in the US I hope Bush will realize he is culpable for not taking care of it when he had the chance.

There is NO accountability.

[Regulator]

Not only is it not wrong, but "immigrants" by definition do not arrive "illegally" or overstay a visa. People who do that are by definition "illegal aliens", and remain so.

Well said. Keeek theem oouuttaahere!

"But officials said the administration plans to reassure Muslim groups that special procedures enacted over the last year will be limited to those immigrants regarded as security threats. "

And just how is the US government going to determine that thousands/millions of illegal muslims are security threats?

Good. I have never been in favor of deportation, which allows the maggots to regroup in their native sh*tholes and plan more activities against us. Keep them DETAINED indefinitely. Then execute them, or deport them after we have neutralized the threat and turned their countries into sandboxes.
