In reply, let me point out liberal Chicago Tribune front-page headlines as of Sunday, and offer a reply to show liberal media influence.

Chicago Tibune, front page, Sunday, Nov. 16, 2003;
83,310: Number of foreign visitors from Muslim countries who registered with the government after Ashcroft required them to do so.

13,740: Number of those 83,310 who were ordered into deportation proceedings.

0: Number who were publicly chargered with terrorism, although officials say a few have terrorist connections.

I propose to re-frame this (remember my "framing the issue" arguments) to fit reality:

83,310: Number of immigrants/vitors (non-citizens) from Muslim countries which were required to register with the government.

About 18% of those were found to be illegal immigrants or otherwise (due to terrorist connections) ordered into deportation proceedings.

Though none have been officially charged with terrorism, several were found to have terrorist connections requiring deportation.

A very different framing of the issue, and ergo a different issue, is it not? Read between the lines, folks.
