Jim, I admire Emerson as much as the next guy but I fail to see the inconsistency you think you've found. Perhaps a reading comprehension review course will be in your Christmas stocking. 1. U.S. citizens, natural-born and natural-ized, from wherever, are entitled to the same protection of laws as, well, U.S. citizens from wherever. Green card holders and legal visa possessors are entitled to stay in this country pursuant to the terms of their visas, free from harassment, but not free from investigation for potential terrorist affiliations and activities. 2. Those in violation of their visas, or here without legal status (illegals), should be rounded up, given an expedited hearing as to why they can't seem to obey the rules and deported without giving them 3 years and 4 lawyers to argue every point from A to Z and back again. And there are 20 countries I'd put at the top of the queue. 3. People currently outside the U.S. applying to visit this great and desirable destination resort, either for vacation (skiing), study (university!) or residence, should undergo increased scrutiny (see my Abdullah and Hiroshi example) and many of the Bedouin and Maghreb and Palestine tribe will not pass that scrutiny. Which means that many folk from the "Stans" and other countries will not be able to set foot in the U.S. Now the 3 points above are rife with the hobgoblin (consistency) imho; where do you see either an inconsistency or an unconstitutionality? I think the position is perfectly clear. Cheerio, Kb
