[ale] OT: H1B

[Jerry Z. Yu]

try to remember what Daziel Washington, a FBI    
agent in  "Siege", a movie, said,  "If we are forced 
to close every door, martial-law every city, and live out of our bomb 
shelters, they (the enemy ) already win"  -- not an exact quote 

how could one even assume that terrorists will follow the rules to apply 
for visas? 

Besides, terrorism could be home-brewed as well (OK city & DC sniper)...
