Having kept them out, by not allowing them to board airplanes destined for U.S. in the first place, would have been laughably easy, and cheap, and no body-cavity searches or wiretaps required.<br /><br />Now, you might say refusal to allow them to board would screw over vast numbers of innocents. I say no, it's not screwing them over, because those "vast numbers" have no inherent right to come here.<br /><br />And even now, that they're here, keeping them off airplanes won't screw over "vast numbers" because there still aren't "vast numbers" (in relation to illegals from Mexico, say) here.CC-bLFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-62803596564994849022010-09-29T16:08:07.398-07:002010-09-29T16:08:07.398-07:00none of the above's comments are Exhibit A of ...none of the above's comments are Exhibit A of the point that "political correctness makes you stupid".<br /><br />We've heard the fallacious nonsense before.<br /><br />"Hey, a lot of Muslims out there aren't terrorists!!
