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.

So what? We don't have a right to enforce our own laws?

Another Dubya sellout on the border.. Loser! Traitor!

Benedict Dubya! CINO!!

You know, I think we should grant amnesty to all the people here being punished due to UN-Constitutional gun laws.. But, nahh.. That won't happen.

We choose to enforce those, it's just the border and immigration laws that may as well not even be on the books.

Not because they are UnConstitutional, but because they are "un PC"

Dubya Bush, our first foreign Presidente!

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

Why?
The operative word here is illegal.

I think said administration owes its citizen an explanation.
"... has rejected..."" sounds so arbitrary and non-sensical without some additional explanation.

If President Bush deports all the Muslim illegals on the basis of enforcing The Law, he won't have any excuses to not deport Mexican illegals on the basis of The Law.

And we couldn't deport those "willing workers". Better that we should live under constant threat of terrorist attack.

[Gritty]

Tom Ridge can stand up all day on TV and pontificate how we should have three days supply of everything in case of a terrorist attack - but don't unroll the duct tape just yet.

But, until this Administration gets serious about the myriad illegal aliens in this country - all of whom are lawbreakers and some of whom plan our infinite harm - this Homeland Security "program" is simply symphony music on the Titanic and not worth heeding.

When they get serious, we'll get serious!

Why are ANY illegal aliens allowed to remain here?

[Reaganwuzthebest]

I'm still waiting for someone in the federal government to tell me what laws I can break and get away with.

"Mass deportation of Muslim illegal aliens ruled out"

This is a great part of the reason why many conservatives who have always supported government have turned against this war thing. They may not march but they are not in favor of endless war which these actions portend.

They begin to fear that Mr. Bush is not genuinely interested in ridding us of anything but our freedoms. Shedding the blood of their teens is hardly worth it in light of the kind of dedication to a war on terrorism reflected by the headline quoted above.

How can one be assured that the terrorism fixation isn't counterfeit when the blood is being shed to protect the ILLegal aliens cited above after a hefty portion of our liberties has been forfeit and we are under threat from a goodly portion of the enemy resident within our gates.

I'm not so sure that this is a bad thing yet. The last line, "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" seems to indicate that those in custody are security threats.

If that's true, it makes more sense for us to hold them and squeeze them for information than deliver them en masse to a foreign country where they could cause us damage. I, for one, would rather see a trickle effect of deportation than one blanket deportation -- practically handing the Muslims a small army.

So when are we going to see this posted on "A Day in the Life of GWB" so the Bush-bots can giggle and fawn over their idol's latest treasonous and undermining act against American citizens? Oh, I forgot, Dubya's new suit and Laura's shades of lipstick and nail polish are more important....plus I think Barney and Spot were seen playing with a new chew-toy on the White House lawn today...

[JimRed]

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

Oh, have we wised up and started quietly taking them out back and shooting them?

[kjam22]

It's hard to take the war on terrorism serious when we let potential terrorists wonder through our country illegally. At the same time homeland security is telling us to buy duct tape and plastic.

Does it seem we're waiting for another shoe to drop before we invade Iraq. We couldn't get UN approval so we're just killing time until somethig else happens. Then we'll have a good reason?

Personally, I think the people running the war on terrorism don't "get it".

[Orbiting_Rosie's_Head]

On Tuesday, FBI Director Robert Mueller will meet American Muslim leaders to discuss federal measures against Al Qaida threats.

In other news, the chickens will meet with the leaders of the foxes to discuss chicken coop security procedures.

[MassExodus]

I love Bush .... BUT ... this P.C. crap has got to stop.

Our government OWES us to uphold the law and they're NOT.

Illegal Muslims should be deported or rounded up and put into a camp.

[Libertina]

Government REFUSES to carry out Rule Of Law. This is the problem. And they should deport en masse ALL ILLEGAL aliens. They don't want to deport mexicans, so they can't consider muslims. Can you spell WRONG? I knew that you could.

[mabelkitty]

Why deport them when you can follow them and snare their American citizen friends in your sting?

[Michael2001]

Why?
