Reply #102: Sadly, if the "authorities" are now only locking up undocumented or past visa immigrants,

[ShortnFiery]

the average American is not going to care much. Not unlike the latest court ruling that allows DOD to capture and INDEFINITELY hold "suspects" at Bahrain. Translation: If it doesn't affect ME or MINE then it doesn't exist.

I'm not disrespecting my fellow Americans for sadly it's part of the human condition. I wish that our higher power would have extended more compassion when he/she created us.

Americans will begin to care A LOT when they or their loved ones are snatched off of the streets and held incommunicado for indefinite periods of time. And the foregoing will happen sooner rather than later.

If we have another significant terrorist attack, be prepared to be treated EXACTLY like undocumented workers. You best not ever speak out against anything that our government is doing unless you wish to be arrested and indefinitely detained.

But again, no significant numbers of American Citizens will care until it HITS HOME.
