GOP Congressman wants to deport every Iranian

[canada-man]

The National Iranian American Council is on high alert after a South Carolina Congressman announced this week that he will introduce legislation which would require the deportation of all Iranians living in America.

The Stop Terrorists Entry Program Act (STEP) was first introduced by Rep. J. Gresham Barrett (R-SC) in 2003 [PDF link]. The updated version, he explained in a media advisory, would bar citizens of Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Yemen and Syria from entry into the United States. It would further require citizens of those nations who are legally visiting or residing in the United States to be deported within 60 days.

enough of this, read the rest at

Does anything that happens in South Carolina surprise you. I was there back in the 80's.
fact-Did you know they are the only state that hasnt abolished slavery.

What was it that a congressman said about South Carolina before they triggered the Civil War? That it was too small to be a State and too large to be an insane asylum.

However, is that what the Representative really said?

Representative J. Gresham Barrett (SC-03) announced that in response to recent failures in national security, he will update and reintroduce the Stop Terrorists Entry Program Act, which he originally authored back in 2003. The STEP Act of 2010 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to bar admission of aliens from countries that have strong ties to terrorist regimes and also from the terrorist detainee facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Barrett released the following statement regarding his proposed legislation:

“While President Obama may have declared an end to the War on Terror, it is clear our enemies did not get the message. Twice in the past two months, radical Islamic terrorists have attacked our nation and the Administration has failed to adapt its national security and immigration policies to counter the renewed resolve of those who seek to harm our citizens. More disturbingly, the President stands by his decision to close the terrorist detainee facility at Guantanamo Bay despite reports that released prisoners were behind the Christmas Day bomb plot.

“In light of these unfortunate facts, I intend to introduce legislation that will enhance our national security through common sense changes to our current immigration laws. The STEP Act of 2010 bars the admission of aliens from countries designated as State Sponsors of Terrorism as well as Yemen to the United States. Additionally, the STEP Act prohibits the transfer of the terrorist detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to our nation.”

The State Department has indentified the following states as sponsors of terrorism: Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria. Given recent reports of increased levels of terrorist activities in Yemen, Congressman Barrett has requested that its citizens not be allowed to enter the United States.

Individuals seeking political or religious asylum or emergency medical treatment may be exempt from these provisions, only after an extensive federal screening

Nobody can hate monger better than conservatives!
They can create a bogeyman at the drop of a Rovian turd blossom, tailored to their warped agenda.
What this GOPer nutjob is doing is carrying on the "You are either with me or you are the enemy" mantra so popular with DICK & Dubya the last 8 year!

You play the hate card all the time.

Yet I suspect you are neither American or Conservative.

 

[canada-man]

You didn't use facts, you twisted the facts in order to support you belief. The briefing posted by Aardvark154 had nothing in it that stated anything about deportation. But rather common sense legislation aimed at keeping citizens of countries that are known to want to attack us from entering the USA.

It is about fucking time someone has enough balls to stand up and say what the rest of us are thinking!

when did cuba ever attacked the U.S. Iran never attacked the U.S or any country in the last 2000 years. AND not interested in attacking any nation. in fact the U.S overthrow a democratic elected govt of Iran in the 1950s and installed the shah. Syria and the Sudan also never attacked the U.S.

[Gyaos]

Iran never attacked the U.S or any country in the last 2000 years.

And what oil field in Iraq did Iran invade....a week ago?

Gyaos.

 

[papasmerf]

once again, proving my point that you are twisted your lack of knowledge for what has happened in the past 50 years in that region to support some attack on the US.

I wonder...canada-man...what area of the World are you originally from?

My guess is the he hates whitey world

 

[canada-man]

so papasmerf is now racebaiting?

 

[Asterix]

In the context of all of your posts, I think common sense would have led you to make the determination that whitey world would be North America!

Used to be. Not anymore.

 

[Asterix]

Actually whitey's are still the majority.

Not for too much longer. I forget exactly when, but in the next 20-30 years in the US they will be a minority. Granted the largest minority, but still a minority. It's been referred to as the browning of America. Best get used to it.

 

[y2kmark]

Pu-leeeze!!!

so papasmerf is now racebaiting?

Is the Pope Catholic?
