    If it is not right, then do something about it. Write to your congressman, senator. Get onto the local news, join a protest march. This is America, make use of your rights before it is too late. Michael Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round -- Queen

              The point is: You don't ask people to register, and when thex step forward, you put them in prison. Next time they won't. Would you step forward if you know prison awaits you?

No, but then again I don't commit crimes and I wouldn't attempt to stay in a country illegally by breaking immigration laws. This leads us to the crux of the situation: The ones who had committed no crimes or were here legally were not detained. I beleive the laws in Germany are very similar to the US in this area. If a foreigner commits a crime they can be arrested. True? Also, if a foreigner violates immigration laws they can be detained or deported. True? Why does everyone expect the US to do anything different? Mike Mullikin :beer:

No, but then again I don't commit crimes and I wouldn't attempt to stay in a country illegally by breaking immigration laws. This leads us to the crux of the situation: The ones who had committed no crimes or were here legally were not detained. I beleive the laws in Germany are very similar to the US in this area. If a foreigner commits a crime they can be arrested. True? Also, if a foreigner violates immigration laws they can be detained or deported. True? Why does everyone expect the US to do anything different? Mike Mullikin :beer:

Sure, everybody is oblieged to followthe law. but just because its the law doesn't mean it's right. (cf. jus primae noctis)
