MR MAN,
It is not right to condemn your fellows as guilty just from assumptions. As
far as i gathered, their problem is related to overstayinging beyond the
approved visa periods granted to them. If so, does this make them criminals?
I say NO but if you think otherwise, this is within your rights. The fact is
that the US establishment is gripped by xenophobia as a consequence of Sept
11, 01.
Respect,
BMK
