Another South Carolina politician with his head up his ass.
Sounds like Tim, "All them AY-RABS is terrorists!"


Congressman Gresham Barrett (R-SC) has announced his intention to
reintroduce legislation that would prohibit "the admission of aliens from countries designated as State Sponsors of Terrorism as well as Yemen to the United States." The Stop Terrorist Entry Program (STEP) Act, first
introduced in 2003, also would have required all persons from these
countries on student visas, temporary work visas, exchange and tourist
visas to leave the United States within 60 days, despite their legal status
in the country. Residents and nationals of Iran, Cuba, Sudan, Syria, and
Yemen would be affected.

The bill makes an exception only in the cases of individuals who are
seeking political or religious asylum, or who have immediate emergency
medical needs.

Congressman Barrett said his bill came in response to the Fort Hood
shooting and the Christmas-day attempt to blow up an airplane over Detroit. "While President Obama may have declared an end to the War on Terror, it is clear our enemies did not get the message. Twice in the past two months, radical Islamic terrorists have attacked our nation and the Administration
has failed to adapt its national security and immigration policies to
counter the renewed resolve of those who seek to harm our citizens."

The American Army major and Nigerian alleged to have committed those
attacks would not have been affected by the STEP Act.
