Kate O'Beirne--wife of James O'Beirne who you can read about here--asks a question:
Under current law, there are "Special Visa Processing Procedures" for visa applicants age 16 and over from states that sponsor terrorism. Five countries (North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Sudan, and Iran) are so designated by the State Department. Do illegal aliens from these countries qualify for the immigration bill's probabtionary (sic) legal status with its 24-hour deadline on background checks?
Obviously O'Beirne doesn't want anybody admitted to the country with probationary legal status. But instead of saying that, she'd rather push forward the idea that the immigration bill--flawed as it may be--is a conduit for terrorists to enter America unobstructed. She seems unconcerned with the fact that the culpable actor in a "state sponsor of terrorism" is the leadership of that state and not, say, individuals who happen to live in those states. Set aside for a moment any concerns about whether or not that term, "state sponsor of terrorism", has been properly applied to the countries listed. And set aside too any concerns about whether other countries with a rightful place on that list have been omitted. When was the last time this country was threatened directly by Cuban terrorists? North Korean Terrorists? Sudanese Terrorists? And of all of those countless foreign terrorists, how many were outwardly trying to get American visas?
I'd venture to guess that most of the people from those countries who do get American visas will prove to be more qualified to assist in Iraqi reconstruction efforts than the crop of cronies her husband appointed from his position as a White House liaison at the DoD.

Let's see... If we deport a Korean and an Arab for each Mexican that we process, we'll have cheap oranges, trim gardens, but no liquor stores or 7-11's.
