Exposing Ashcroft’s Ethnic Dragnet: U.S. Treatment of Middle Eastern Residents Mirrors the Fate of Those with Japanese Heritage By Jessie Allen
The Justice Department says there is legal precedent for the President George Bush s order of secret military tribunals for non-citizens suspected of terrorism. Indeed there is. But the most relevant case may be one the government is ashamed to mention.
When President Bush sits down with Mexican President Vicente Fox at the White House on Wednesday, the U.S. president will have an opportunity to shed light on the most persistently debated question of his presidency: just how compassionate is George W. Bush’s brand of conservatism? At the top of the agenda for this meeting is the formulation of U.S. policy toward more than 3 million documented and undocumented Mexicans living in this country. The leaders will discuss permanent legal status for Mexican immigrants and stronger protections for migrant workers. At stake is a better life for Mexican immigrants and their families.
