...until Congress passes a law like that - and until you can't enter a movie theater without the usher checking you for priors - there isn't all that much to get exercised about.

Now opponents of the Administration are indignant that the Justice Department has actually gone so far as to arrest and jail foreign visitors to our country whose visas have expired or who have broken other laws.
