I am 100% in favor of it. Unfortunately, you've got the GD ACLU and all the other Bleeding Heart Liberals (BHL) out there saying "Oh no we can't do this it offendes our foreigners". BU-SH!!! Foreigners are just that foreigners. They aren't from this country and THEY will adapt to OUR clulture and way of life, not the other way around. If they dont't like our religion, get out of the country. If they don't like being arrested & searched because we think that they're a threat to our national security get out of the country. We need this act. But the ACLU and some BHL judge will say it's unconstitutional. Seal the borders & do extensive background checks on each & every foreigner who wants to get in to the country. If they don't like it turn arournd & go home. If they don't pass the check they don't get in.

Cheers!!
