Actually the situation is much more complicated and worse than just concentrating on the wrong population. Despite the fact that the vast majority of the 911 hijackers were Saudis and most had entered the US legally on nonimmigrant student visas, in April of 2005 George Bush entered into an agreement with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to establish programs to bring in thousands more Saudi students to study in the US. In effect the Bush administration has acted to beef up security where there is no evidence of signficant problems, while "streamlining" procedures in programs that were at the very heart of 911 conspiracy.

Great post, but I have a question. I don't have a problem with - like MoJo - supporting illegal immigration, even though I wonder about things like supporting the corrupt MexicanGovernment, enriching and entrenching the MexicanOligarchy, encouraging massive PoliticalCorruption in the U.S., lowering wages for low-wage U.S. workers - but, oh where was I?

Oh yeah: those who are serious - and not lightweights like MoJo - may want to research the links between the 911Hijackers and illegal immigration and may want to read the 911Commission StaffReport. There's a world of things that MoJo don't know.

Just because the cases filed were for infractions like expired visas, it does not necessarily follow that the illegals involved did not have terrorist intent. Remember, Al Capone was locked up on tax evasion.

Jonathan, I didn't realize that all illegal immigrants were "over-ambitious graduate students".
If you're going to post, please do so intelligently.

It is a fact that due to not protecting the southern border from invaders, one can strap a nuke on a donkey and come across. If we get hit by a suitcase nuke, it will be that way. Since we are not protecting the southern border, it leads me to believe that all this talk about Muslim terrorists is just Zionist lies. The army should come home from Iraq and be put on the southern border to stop all contraband, including drugs. Sorry guys. By the way, the case was made for no more student visas to middle eastern types.
