| Pakistan to send back immigrants deported from Spain |
| 2006-10-20 |
| A planeload of illegal immigrants landed in Pakistan from Spain on Thursday, but officials found that most of the passengers were from Indian Kashmir and planned to send them back to Spain. Pakistan's embassy in Spain issued "emergency passports" to 42 illegal immigrants but informed immigration officials in Pakistan that it was unsure about their nationalities. "To the surprise of our staff, there was only one Pakistani among them," said Tariq Pervez, head of the Federal Investigation Agency, which deals with immigration. He said most of the passengers were from Indian Kashmir. "We are interrogating them and will send the non-Pakistanis back to Spain," Pervez said. |

| #8 Tipper. You'r right about the referendum, only it only works with the few arriving "officially" . The others, cross the border illegally mainly from France with no papers and you have the situation described by phil-b. The good news is that it gives a lot of overtime to the cops. My son, who is a police inspector, just arrived in Texas to "spend" his overtime accumulated since Easter! |

| #7 It's standard practice for illegals in EuLand to destroy their passport to frustrate efforts to deport them. A simple extension to this stratgey is to lie about their country of origin Switzerland the home of the Red Cross and many other NGO'S have recently passed a referendum requiring "refugees" to present a valid passport within two days of arrival in Switzerland to be recognized as liable for asylum; the remainder must leave the country as quickly as possible or face deportation. The UN of course are not happy. Actually their Muslim overlords are very worried that this idea might spread. Then there would be nowhere for them to send their "refuse" and they might have to make changes so that ther might be a country that Muslims might want to live in. (A eutopian dream I Know) I keep thinking about the refugees from communist countries in the seventies and eighties. Not one that I know of espoused communism after escaping from the a communist hellhole . Yet a lot of "refugees" who escape from Islamic shit holes still embrace Islam, the reason they say they had to flee for their lives. There seems to be a lot of cognitive dissonance here. In Sweden 80% of Muslim refugees give up their religion, once they have gained asylum. So why shouldn't we be very cynical of that 20% who throw themselves on our mercy and beg asylum, but still refuse to give up the source of their "persecution" |

| #6 Nah, you guys have the wrong song. The applicable tune is Elvis's "Return to Sender." |

| #4 TW- 'MTA' is a CHERISHED part of my childhood - the Kingston Trio was about as wild as we were allowed to get where music was concerned, and to this day I can still remember every word (plus the Cleveland version :) ) Mike |

| #3 Drop 'em off at 30,000 feet. Then if Pakistan wants to send them back, at least they won't be causing problems in Spain. |

| #2 This one is going to run and run. It's standard practice for illegals in EuLand to destroy their passport to frustrate efforts to deport them. A simple extension to this stratgey is to lie about their country of origin. Then tell the truth or another lie when they are deported to their claimed country of origin. And so the circus continues. |

| #1 O let me tell you the story of a man named Charlie On a tragic and fateful day He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family Went to ride upon the MTA Chorus: Well did he ever return? No he never returned And his fate is still unknown He'll be riding forever 'neath the streets of Boston He's the man who never returned. -- we used to sing this song with its many verses describing the awful fate of poor Charlie while riding the bus to summer camp, so it predates the late 1960s. Apparently the campaign song for one George O'Brian of Boston, who was running against increased MTA fares. |
