FBI 'seeks 3,000 missing Iraqis'


Federal agents in the US are hunting for about 3,000 illegal Iraqi immigrants who have gone missing, The Washington Post has reported
Hmmm illegal immigrants. Maybe our fearless leader wants to ask a large group of illegal immigrants from a country that we are about to go to war with, why they are here.

There is nothing wrong with searching for, detaining, and ultimately deporting illegals. No matter where they come from. Im against a war in Iraq but this is not anything to get work up about.

Um, far from the Gestopization of the FBI that you make it out to seem, hunting down and questioning ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS is not some Nazi-like evil crime against human rights.

Dear GOD! America is enforcing its immigration laws!
The FBI launched its hunt when figures from the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) revealed the number of Iraqi visitors who had been ordered deported for overstaying visas or other violations, but had then vanished.

'FBI/INS seeking x hundred thousand illegal immigrants' is enforcing the law. 'FBI seeking X thousand illegal immigrants from specific countries' sounds a lot more like a witch hunt. Considering things like the WWII internment of US citizens of Japanese extraction this kind of official behavior needs to be watched very, very closely.

Lesse...3,000 illegal immigrants have disappeared. Incidentally, they are all from a nation we are about to go to war with, which is ruled by a psychotic dictator, who may or may not have ties to terrorist organizations.

You're right! How dare we try to investigate this!

Dam right! We should track down the Iraq's ourselves and arm them to protect aginst the oppresive goverment, That will show that nasty FBI!


Would you prefer we did nothing at all E? We are about to comense Hostilites with another Country and we should ignore the Possbilitys of Insurgants within our own Borders?

Considering these people are [1] not citizens, [2] here illegally [3] have gone into hiding after being ordered deported.

Meaning they've broken multiple laws and defied court orders. Despite what you may wish to think, thousand so of people are rounded up from specific countries and deported all the time, the fact that the media is actually reporting it now doesn't mean the US has taken some huge new step towards fascism. Stop scare mongering.
