Now, isn’t that special??

Good Bush supporters are making some incorrect assumptions on the net today about this:

“If they're here on student visas and they failed to report to class, they are in violation of their visas and should be hunted, right?”

That's the way I understand it as well.

...and..

Correct me if I'm wrong...but as a Jew with an ISraeli stamp on my passport, I don't believe I'm allowed in Egypt...true? And if that's true...why in God's name would we allow them in our Country?

Is someone hunting them? Absolutely! Fewer than 300 I.C.E. agents nationwide work on visa absconders for all of the 4 MILLION plus visa overstays that the government knows of!

Read what Mike Cutler, former INS agent has to say in congressional testimony:

“Consider that New York is the safest big city in the United States. It has more than 8 million residents who are confined to the relatively small area that makes up the five boroughs of the city of New York, but it is policed by roughly 37,000 police officers. It has been estimated that there are about twice as many illegal aliens present in the United States as there are residents living in the city of New York and these aliens are scattered throughout our nation. Yet there are fewer than 3,000 special agents of ICE who are dedicated to enforcing the immigration laws for the entire country.”

Now as for this question earlier, “why in God's name would we allow them in our Country?”

They are here because some of your favorite “conservative” (LOL!) republicans want them here, the more the better.

Prez hopeful George Allen would increase the number visas given out and has voted for every increase on every kind of visa.

And George Bush never met a visa increase he didn’t push, but refuses to demand Homeland Security provide more enforcement and deportation of the millions of current visa overstays, not to mention the lack of vetting processes. The 11 current Egyptians on the loose are the tip of that proverbial iceberg.

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison disclosed the dangers in a Senate speech last year:

"Also last July, an Egyptian man United States authorities described as one of their most wanted smugglers of humans was arrested on charges of operating a ring that illegally brought people from Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries to the United States. The indictment says Abdallah and his associates would direct people seeking to reach the United States to travel to one of several Latin American countries, and from there to Guatemala. They would then be transported to America through Mexico in return for payments of thousands of dollars in smuggling fees."
