Steyn on immigration

Article.

Deena Gilbey is a British subject whose late husband worked on the 84th floor [of WTC]: On the morning of Sept. 11, instead of fleeing, he returned to the building to help evacuate his co-workers. A few days later, Mrs. Gilbey receives a letter from the INS noting that as she's now widowed her immigration status has changed and she's obliged to leave the country along with her two children (both U.S. citizens). Think about that: Having legally admitted to the country the terrorists who killed her husband, the U.S. government's first act on having facilitated his murder is to add insult to grievous injury by serving his widow with a deportation order.

Good article and good point. So what if we end up with a good law if at the end of the day it will be enforced by the stupidest bureaucrats in the world?

Apparatchiks are efficient that way.
