#2 Seems like a good start. Some of the countries are lagging in their efforts. The US is missing from the list. Where do these people get deported to? After the subway and bus bombings in London, I was ready to suggest that these folks be put in a row boat at the 12 mile limit with instructions to start rowing for a country that would accept them.

#3 Remember when the government required all adult Muslim men to register after 9/11? A great many Pakistanis suddenly left of their own free will, taking their families with them. Many went back to Pakistan, many claimed asylum in Canada. All claimed merely to be working here illegally, having overstayed visas years (decades, in some cases!) ago. NPR reporters made much of the fact that these had all been hard workers who bought property and paid their taxes on time. And how would their Americanized children be able to adjust to life in Pakistan, after growing up with all that freedom and a good education? No fair!!!!!!!

Anyway, the point I am working up to is that the ones who went back to Pakistan were voluntary repatriations, and thus wouldn't be counted amongst the deportations. Besides, that happened years and years ago.

#7 Even a country as messed up as Zimbabwe wants nothing to do with Pakistanis.

#8 ATHENS, SEPTEMBER 2: Four Pakistan men were arrested in Athens and western Greece on charges of kidnapping a Pakistani immigrant and demanding Euro10,00 (US$12,500) as ransom money, police said on Friday.

The 32 year old shopkeeper was abducted near the town of Messolongi, 250 kilometers west of Athens. The four suspects allegedly threatened to kill him unless he paid the ransom.

Two suspects were arrested in Athens yesterday while attempting to collect Euro3,000 (USD3,750) of the demanded sum from a bank branch in the capital.

The other two were arrested during a police raid near Messolongi.None of the arrested men, aged 24 to 34, was identified.The shopkeeper was freed unharmed.
