Habib,

This is quite an interesting policy.  It reminds me of the immigration
policies in some European countries targeting mostly black immigrants.

From what I have heard, part of the objectives is to make sure people do not
overstay albeit the unnecessary paranoia of terrorist attack.

However, what this means is that  INS field officers will now be knocking at
doors of those hosting holders of visitors visas in the event they overstay,
therefore one should make sure that his/her address is used appropriately.

In conclusion, I agree that it should be applicable to everyone regardless
of color.


Best Regards,


Ablie Njie-Lekbi
