The people being detained here have obeyed all of the rules (visa holders, permanent residents), and are still getting screwed. I skew right of center and am usually the last person to get pissed off enough to protest on the streets, but I went down to LAX tonight. The US got ahead in the world because we play by the rules and don't pull discriminatory ex post-facto stunts like this. As a nation, we should seek to keep things this way.

Protesting and reaching out to the people affected by actions like this is absolutely within the bounds of American civil society's responsibilities.

So far as you know.

I'm not saying "don't expel people who break our rules" -- I'm saying don't change the rules halfway though the game.
