"Enough of this PC crap, especially with the news tonight. It is time to profile at airports." It's time to stop all male muslims from entering this country until this war is over! I don't think there was boatloads of Germans, Italians and Japanese allowed to come here during WWII., but back then this country was run by people with backbones not PC wimps!

Initially, the pair told him they went to the bathroom at the airport, and when they emerged, their group was gone, Abolata said.

"They've been in the John way too long, let's just LEAVE them and go on to Montana."

It really doesn't matter if these guys are terrorist or not, they deserve to be treated as such because of their outright stupidity!!

Bye, bye!!

Hey, I've already got Norman, OK, in the pool. I called it first! But we can share. I'll take the fertilizer store, however. You can have the peroxide concession, given today's alerts.

I'll also call Cairo, IL, and Egypt, TX, just in case.

 I am sure there are hundereds of thousands of illegals with expired student visas in the US.

And you would be correct, according to the Congressional testimony quoted here:

» The DHS Inspector General recently reported that, from 2001 through the first half of 2005, 45,000 high risk aliens from state sponsors of terrorism and special interest countries have been released into American communities because of the inability of DHS to conduct a thorough background check on aliens.

» An internal USCIS document reveals a backlog, as of late September 2005, of more than 41,000 immigration applications with IBIS (i.e. national security/criminal records) hits requiring further investigation.

» Senior-level USCIS staff have information indicating that suspected terrorists have established bogus educational institutions in multiple U.S. communities and used the student visa program to move recruits into the United States.

You'd have to wonder if those bastions of liberalism, like UC-Berkley or UW-Madison, would even bother.

Aside from the obvious safety advantage of profiling Muslims, it would also be a great opportunity to totally bankrupt the ACLU...

Good point - a twofer...

OK, they got them. Now what?

Do we execute, imprison or deport them?

Knowing our government, they will be released into the United States with no supervision.

One student, Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed el-Dessouki, 21, was arrested here on an administrative immigration violation, federal officials said.

Other than self-disclosure on the visa application, how do we know that these Muslims are as young as they claim? Their age tends to support the contention that they are only 'students', but what if they are much older? After all, Little League Baseball is periodically rocked by players who are several years older than the rules allow. Latin ballplayers regularly claim they are much younger so as to make it appear to scouts that their skills are well in advance of their peers.

Frankly it's too risky to take their word for it.

I don't know. They've broken US law while in the US, so I hope they do jail time, but I guess they'll get deported, radicalized and cause problems for us somewhere else in the world.

I vote imprisonment. Given the break up of the jetliner plot in Britain today, the government better not be releasing them soon.

Imprison while fully investigating. They're foreign trespassers. Sample their DNA and tatoo them. If clean, then deport. If questionable, imprison until their claimed homeland is terrorist-free. If guilty of terrorism here, execute.
