|It seems the INS and FBI are unwilling to grant US citizenship to |persons without legible fingerprints. .. Does this mean that, ipso facto (I love it), physically challenged individuals with missing or deformed hands are excluded regardless of other qualifications? What a monstrosity of a rule!
Or at least that some individual thugs working for La Migra think so. If your real fingerprints are <null set>, then those are your real fingerprints - and if the Thugs don't like it, fire them.
Was this carried over the wire? AP? (Hey, we weren't talking about Jim Bell here. Maybe we should?:-)
|"This is not something we take lightly," said INS spokesperson |Irene Mortensen. "We can't just arbitrarily give out citizenship |to just anyone." ... Is it not possible to retroactively _remove_ the citizenship of such an arrogant bureaucrat to test whether she could make the grade imposed on the rest of the world's "refuse?"
Only for treason; this may qualify. While the Constitution does give Congress authority to set procedures for naturalizing immigrants, it doesn't give them an option about _whether_ to do it. Just how. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts@ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.
