Muslim Immigrants Rounded up in Calif. - 12-21-02

I can't believe this...it's just awful...What are these people thinking? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??

Hundreds of Iranian and other Middle East citizens were in southern California jails on Wednesday after coming forward to comply with a new rule to register with immigration authorities only to wind up handcuffed and behind bars.

Whats the problem?

Nope, they have broken no laws; in fact, they were trying to comply with a new one.

"The arrests were part of a post Sept. 11 program that requires all males over 16 from a list of 20 Arab or Middle East countries, who do not have permanent resident status in the United States, to register with U.S. immigration authorities.


Monday was the deadline for men from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Sudan. News of the mass arrests came first in southern California, which is home to more than 600,000 Iranian exiles and their families."

What order should they be deported in?

I was thinking maybe, tired, poor, hudled masses yearning to breate free, followed by the homeless tempest-tossed.


Thanks. Find out exactly what to think, next.

I'm afraid I've left this forum, please read

They said some of them were suspected of being involved in crime. Thing is, if you rounded up any group of people, you'd find some people in there who'd been involved in crimes- like people born on June 29th or ones wearing a pair of jeans.

Funny how the ones they picked to check out in detail are the Asians.

Can we get a second source on this topic?

Yes. I have a large number of freinds who are from california. They looked at me confused when I asked them if they heard anything about this.

I'm not saying it didn't happen, but if it did happen it's completely wrong.

Hmmm. If they're being held without charge, it's wrong. The reasons for the holdings and charges should be made public. On the other hand, it cannot be described accurately as "racial profiling", as it only targets immigrants, and not all Arabs or Muslims in the US are immigrants.

what concerns me is this week it's muslims, after september 11, i can understand that slightly,(the government failed there, so time to overcompensate) however what will the next group be? If he can successfully do it with one group, what's to stop them from doing it to other active groups?

Well, why shouldn't they do it to other groups, if it's all fair and legal? And if it's not, why should they be doing it at all?

it shouldn't be right, and from what i remeber from high school government, it's a form of racism...my point is that if they feel they can do it to the muslims, how long before the focus on another group, and what are the chances of it going from those who are american citizens to the american citizens themselve..i'm sure the kkk is loving this idea.
