Tis true. Right now about 80 Arab, foreign students have set up an anti US/Israel demonstration on the same street (about a two blocks west) of JimRob's Friday night vigil.

If you are angry now...........just wait until one of these recent visa holders executes another terror attack. Then, the crap will really hit the fan.

This is not new. We have known about this since 9/11 and have been continually screaming about it around here. Many commentators of note have called for immigration reform. I have to note however that there has been narry a peep out of Rush Limbaugh on the subject.

I hold George Bush responsible for this. I will hold him responsible when the next 9/11 event occurs. DIRECTLY responsible. Ronald Reagan would not have bowed to the PC pressures that seem to be crushing GWB day after day now.

Failure to control ME immigration and betraying Israel are my two sorest points with GWB. He needs to shape up.

"WHAT THE F**K IS GOIN ON??!!"

that's what I was gonna say!!W.T.F. is going on??!!

[SpottedBeaver]

Bush has been very disappointing in the immigration department.

I never thought that I would say this, but Pat Buchannan has been right.

Sleep well America...Tom Ridge is on the job!

LOL WORD!

[over3Owithabrain]

Well, this squares with Bush's recent command to Israel: "be compassionate at checkpoints".

[stiga bey]

Everyone on this thread is ignoring the true reason that visas will never be cut back: money. The money that the visa holders bring to airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, theme parks and resorts, restaurants, souvenir stands, universities, and even to the government itself. Money, money, money.

Another thing that no one on this forum seems to talk about is how much more expensive housing and food would be without illegal construction and agricultural workers. And how many people have under-the-table nannies, housecleaners and gardeners?

I'm not saying this excuses illegal immigration and loose visa policies, but it is the harsh reality. It is why all these calls on the forum for "stopping all visas now" are 100% futile.

Very scary!

Wahhabis in the Old Dominion

The kingdom pledged $400 million last year for the support of "martyrs' families," according to the Saudi Embassy website. At $5,300 per "martyr," that works out to about 75,000 martyrs, suggesting the Saudi princes anticipate a lot more suicide bombings than Israel has yet suffered.

I doubt that they've all gone to Ramallah.

[Drew68]

We're gonna get hit again hard. It is just a matter of where and when.

[brat]

Gee I feel so safe now that we have Homeland Security.

[Waco]

Got to get the enemys' soldiers in country. INS helping all they can. (By the way, anybody have a child they'd like to "donate" to the war on terror?)
