US Deports Thousands of Arabs and Muslims
Arutz Sheva ^ | 6-6-03

Posted on 06/07/2003 6:29:28 PM PDT by SJackson

Putting into practice an anti-terror method suggested by the "Elon Plan," more than 13,000 Arab and Muslim men with ties to terrorism are being deported from the United States.

US Deports Thousands of Arabs and Muslims More than 13,000 Arab and Muslim men are being deported from the United States, according to US government officials cited by the New York Times.

Deportation has become an integral part of the United States’ ‘War on Terror.’ Officials say more than 600 Arabs and Muslims were deported during a first wave of expulsions soon after the September 11th terror attacks in New York and Washington, DC. The US Justice Department has stopped releasing figures after the number of arrested immigrants surged to 1,200, and officials now decline to give complete statistics for that time period.

Although a majority of Americans support actions taken to prevent terrorist attacks, various human rights organizations have condemned the practice of expulsion. "What the government is doing is very aggressively targeting particular nationalities for enforcement of immigration law," said Lucas Guttentag, director of the immigrants' rights project at the American Civil Liberties Union. "The identical violation committed by, say, a Mexican immigrant is not enforced in the same way."

Deportation has long been suggested as an effective tool in Israel's own fight against terrorism, but has yet to be put into practice in the current Oslo War. Minister of Tourism, Rabbi Benny Elon includes the concept in his recently released alternative to the “Road Map” which can be viewed at TheRightRoadToPeace.com.. In Article 2 of ‘Key Principles,’ the Elon Plan demands: “Terrorists and their direct supporters will be deported.”

Although not given much attention by Israel's government run mainstream press, Elon’s Plan was prominently featured in May 18th's New York Times in an article by James Bennet entitled, “Crossing Jordan; The Exit That Isn't On Bush's Road Map.”

It's just a temporary setback. They'll rush to Mexico or Canada, re-cross the border, and be back "home" by dinner time.

A good start, and long overdue, in the area of battling global islamoradicalfanaticism.

But

what about the millions of other less "violent" illegals that will continue to strangle this nation for years to come by sapping away the economic lifeblood of this nation while immigration laws on the books are not enforced?

Long-term, this poses as serious a threat, in my opinion, to our survival as the last bastion of FReedom and liberty.

Me too. We think alike. I think it might be just a "whipping up the natives".

Well, at least its a start. Remember, however, that alot of these guys have several children born in this country, what I like to call ABAs (American-born Arabs), which may complicate things. If they do take their families with them, maybe my local public schools and parks will be a bit less overcrowded.
