13,000 Arab and Muslim Men Set To Be Deported
More than 13,000 of the Arab and Muslim men who came forward earlier this year to register with U.S. immigration authorities -- roughly 16 percent of the total -- now may face deportation, government officials say. Only a handful of the men have been linked to terrorism. But of the 82,000 who registered, more than 13,000 have been found to be living in this country illegally, officials say. Many had hoped to win leniency by registering and demonstrating their willingness to cooperate with the government's campaign against terror. The men were not promised special treatment, however, and officials believe most of them will be expelled in what is likely to be the largest wave of deportations in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

If you are illegal and get caught, you are outta here. It is that simple.
 
why the pretense.

Its a witch hunt against Muslims and Arabs, plain and simple. Why dilute ourselves by thinking "legality" had anything to do with it. Like other tough times that previous immigrants/people had to suffer, this too will hopefully pass.

It is not a pretense. It is the law of the land. You respect the law, don't you?

Why does the law, then make a distinction between Hispanic and Arab Illegals? Vote-bank politics and a strong bias against certain communities in the post 9-11 scenario is what original_007 is insinuating, I guess.

The law does not make distinction between hispanics and arabs. If an illegal is caught, he should be deported. That is the law. Who gets caught, that might be a subject of debate, not the law itself.
 
more intesting info

No wonder we see the differences. 15% of the population is now Hispanic. Ilegals Hispanic population estimates are anywhere from 5-7 mil. I am sure we will see politics take a look at this direction as the election year nears.

From immigration-law.com

06/19/2003: 38.8 Million Hispanic Population in the U.S., 9/8% Jump Since 2000 Census

·The statistics released by the Census Bureau yesterday indicates that the growth of the Hispanic population is exploding in the U.S. Without doubt, this statistics will play out increasing muscle in the American politics and we want to watch its impact on such important immigration policies as 245(i) extension, amnesty etc. Please stay tuned!
 
agree with nkm

100%. i think it is high time they worry about legals like us than all the people who come here under moonlight and in trucks
