U.S. Treats Refugees Like TerroristsPosted on Jul 26, 2009
McClatchy reports on a section of the Patriot Act that bizarrely requires the U.S. to treat certain refugees as terrorists. Sami Alkarim, an Iraqi artist who was tortured by Saddam Hussein’s regime, can’t get his status sorted “because of messenger work he did as a teenager for the same political party that counts the current prime minister of Iraq as a member.”

hello. a terrorist refugee seeking asylum in these United States, and the administration has a problem walking all over the Patriot Act. all the lawyers in this group, and they cannot streamline a nonthreatening messenger into tax payer status? they must be too busy spending taxes. they usually make an effort on their way out the door, so just hang in there.
