Racial Profiling

edited February 2011 in General Discussion
Department of Homeland Security is dropping the requirement that residents of selected countries (mostly Arab) must register when arriving in the United States. Many Arab and Islamic groups complained that it was "profiling". About 74,000 visitors registered since the program was put into place after 911, and several were deported when it was discovered that they had overstayed thier visas.

Question - September 11, 2001. 19 hijackers. All Arab males, 16 were Saudis. Over half were illegals or had overstayed thier visas. None were American Citizens. Do you guys and gals think it is wrong to keep tabs on visitors from these countries? Is this common sense, or "racial profiling"??

Or is a better answer to increase surveillance on American Citizens in the name of "fairness"?

~ If your not an American Citizen, you are not protected by the blanket of the United States Constitution.

    Racial profiling is nothing new to this country.

    World War II. Americans of Japanese decent were stripped of all their possesions, and intered in camps for the duration of the war. the mind set in those days. "ALL JAPS ARE BAD" and a threat to our country.
    There were many Japanese here sympathic to the Japanese cause. Many Japanese Officers were schooled in this country.

    So why the big stink, When Arab,s and other middle eastern people strike out at the U.S. then every one is suspect. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, as we can see in the cost of that "CURE" with the Billions of Dollars spent to go after the perp,s that caused 9-11

    LUBBOCK, Texas - A young college student from Saudi Arabia who studied chemical engineering in Texas purchased explosive chemicals over the Internet as part of a plan to hide bomb materials inside dolls and baby carriages to blow up dams, nuclear plants or the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush, the Justice Department said Thursday.

    I was standing at the bar in the Airport when this small Chinese guy comes in, stands next to me, and starts drinking a beer. I asked him, "Do you know any of those martial arts things, like Kung-Fu, Karate, or Ju-Jitsu??

    He says "No, I don't. And furthermore, why the hell would you ask me that? Is it because I'm Chinese?


    "No", I said, "It's because you're drinking my beer, you little jerk

    It's bad, apparently, because the profile would include our POTUS.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    be safe, secure, and protect their family.

    Any normaly intelligent human will naturaly profile any other human he comes into contact with outside his usual zone of comfort.It's what we do.
    It's in our nature and has kept us safe and alive for thousands of years.

    Leave it to the libtards to try and undo thousands of years of proven results in their ridiculous quest to feel good about themselves.
