Bush to Tighten Immigration Rules WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush (news - web sites) moved to tighten restrictions on immigration rules Monday so that aliens who commit or support terror would be barred entry to the United States. Bush planned to announce creation of a foreign terrorist tracking force that would coordinate efforts by government agencies to keep those with links to terror organizations out of the country, and locate, detain, prosecute or deport terror group associates who already live here, said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer (news - web sites). ``Obviously, on Sept. 11, a group of alien terrorists got into our nation and attacked the Pentagon (news - web sites) and World Trade Center, so obviously there's a need for tightening up,'' Fleischer said. ``The president believes that the foreign terrorist tracking task force can ... do its best to prevent any future episodes.'' Tom Ridge, director of Bush's Office of Homeland Security, said Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) will lead the task force and will look at all aspects of foreigners' access to the United States. ``Their charge will be to look at all options, all policies and procedures relating to access of noncitizens to this country,'' Ridge said. ``A point of access becomes a point of vulnerability. ... Whether or not it requires any changes in the law remains to be seen.'' Bush was announcing the task force Monday during a meeting of his domestic security council. The session will be the first chaired by Bush since the council's creation in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Fleischer did not offer more details on the task force or say which agencies would work with it. But those involved, he said, will be directed by Bush to ``work together to locate, detain, prosecute or deport any aliens who are already here who may be engaging in terrorism.'' ``Obviously people got in and committed the crimes they committed, and that's one lesson we should take from it,'' Fleischer said. dailynews.yahoo.com

Wow! We have a lot to be grateful for, don't we? My ancestors, from what little I know of them, were on the losing side of the Civil War. I'm quite sure some held slaves, a fact of which I'm not proud and disavow totally. My Dad was raised in the south within walking distance of the battlefield depicted in the movie "Glory." He had some real minie balls that he had found. But he never taught me hatred. My best friend was a black kid in Missoula Montana, where Dad settled after eight years in the Marines. By the way, your moniker puts me in mind of a box of .22 shells, Super X Long Rifle. Any relation there?
