Chicago Tribune on Deportees

Posted By Blackfive • [November 17, 2003]

I had gotten wind of this series of articles about two days before it was published by a staffer at the Trib. Today's headline is Immigration crackdown shatters Muslims' lives
There isn't much to say except what I said previously:

After September 11th, 2001, the Attorney General of the United States required foreign "visitors" from 24 different Muslim countries (and North Korea) to register themselves with the government.

83,310 people registered themselves with our governement.

13,740 people that registered themselves with our government were ordered into deportation proceedings.

None of the deportees were ever charged with terror crimes.

This is a thinly veiled, liberal attempt to discredit the Patriot Act, the Bush Administration and the government. Here is why...While none of the deportees were ever charged with terror crimes, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WERE HERE ILLEGALLY. If you were to weigh risks on who might commit an act of terror, someone from a Muslim country and physically in the U.S. illegally might be a good indicator.

Instead, the title of the article should have been: U.S. Gains 13, 740 more jobs this year!

Matt O' Blackfive quotes a bit of a Chicago Tribune article about the deportation of illegal immigrants. It reads, however, more like a story of desperation and loss intended to make you decry "the system." Go read. hln... [Read More]
