Uhm…what???
It almost sounds as if he thinks Pakistan shares a border with the US!
Oh wait, I guess they’re all in the “South” anyway. Yep, all those funny-looking brown people who talk funny. Arabs, Afghans, Pakistanis, Mexicans…they’re all the same! They ALL live in the same place (immediately South of the US, where the climate is warm and there are lots of jungles and deserts where strange creatures abound), and they’re just itching to jump over the US border, where they can then not only blow up all the buildings and convert everyone to Islam (all while speaking only Spanish/Arabic/some funny-sounding gibberish), but take away ALL the jobs too!
*rolls eyes* It’s sad how so many people actually still think like that…

“And in light of what is happening in Pakistan it ought to give us pause as to why are so many illegals coming across these borders.”

Well, and this is just a guess, it might have something to do with the fact that the portions of Pakistan not controlled by a what is essentially a repressive military junta are chock-a-block with Islamist fundamentalism.

No kidding, Farhat. That’s how most people get into the country illegally, other than Mexicans or Chinese.

A lot of people from ME actually come here legally as students or visitors but then turn illegal by overstaying their visas.

At this point I’m just not wishing for -anything- with the idea that “ho ho, there’s no way the Americans would elect that clown!” haven’t you people learned -anything- yet? -spits- -throws salt over shoulder-

Heh. I love Huck. I want him to win the nom. He’s the most easily beaten in the general. Go Huck!

Giuliani can probably give him a good run for his money in that department considering the many questions hovering around his political and personal conduct.

Taking his theory at face value:

Gosh, I can’t imagine why there would be an upsurge in immigration from an already unstable country where one of the major political figures was just assassinated, an action that will probably lead to martial law by the country’s current dictator. That sure is a brain-bender there, Mikey.

Do we have any serious national issues with illegal immigration from the middle east?

My information is only anecdotal but I personally know a dozen or more illegal immigrants from both Latin American and China. At the same time everyone I know from the middle east is here legally.
