15,000 SAUDIS TO FLOOD US CAMPUSES

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

These are Muslims.

First question: What scrutiny is in place to assure Americans that NONE of these are a threat to our republic?

This influx has been arranged by US President George W. Bush and Saudi Arabia officialdom. It is to build better relations with the "Muslim world."

Recall that US Congress and Mr. Bush welcomed 7000 Russian Muslims, positioning them outside Philadelphia. Our government provided them all with totally furnished houses, US citizenship, pensions and health benefits.

Are we bringing into our country those who are going to destroy us?

British authorities report to press just days ago that that country is laden with Muslims who do not have any regard for Britain. In fact, they are risks to that nation’s security. Why would America think differently?
According to The Washington Times’ Garance Burke, "some officials say efforts to fast-track educational diplomacy with Saudi Arabia could use additional scrutiny.

Clark Kent Ervin, a former inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), said the U.S. government has yet to ensure proper safeguards are in place to do effective background checks on all applicants."
How can the US be trusted in having in place security measures against terrorists?

Homeland Security just pleaded with Washington to up its security at strategic locations throughout the nation. In other words, Homeland Security Secretary made public that he is worried about the present shield against Muslim attackers.
Now we have thousands of youth coming into the US from Saudi Arabia. At the same time we are experiencing our own "homegrown" terrorists who are converting to Islam. Many are young. Other free nations are having the same threat.

"The kingdom's royal family -- which is paying full scholarships for most of the 15,000 students -- says the program will help stem unrest at home by schooling the country's brightest in the American tradition. The State Department sees the exchange as a way to build ties with future Saudi leaders and young scholars at a time of unsteady relations with the Muslim world.

"Allan Goodman, president and chief executive officer of the Institute of International Education in New York, said the new bilateral agreement is a ‘tremendously positive’ step toward person-to-person diplomacy.
"’These 15,000 students will really jump-start education, and that will be a great addition to the kingdom,’ Mr. Goodman said. ‘At its base, it's about mutual understanding.’"

Has anyone on campus checked how air headed academics can be at times?
