More gop paranoia. Deport all Iranians!

'The Stop Terrorists Entry Program Act (STEP) was first introduced by Rep. J. Gresham Barrett (R-SC) in 2003 . The updated version, he explained in a media advisory, would bar citizens of Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Yemen and Syria from entry into the United States. It would further require citizens of those nations who are legally visiting or residing in the United States to be deported within 60 days.'

These little boys in the gop are dangerously scared. Pants-pissing scared.

From a letter to Barrett from the NIAC:

'Iranian-Americans are a part of what makes this country great. Iranian-Americans are among the most highly educated, affluent, and productive immigrant communities in the United States. According to one study, Iranian-Americans contribute over $400 billion to the US economy annually.

Under the vision you offer, such important and inspiring figures as Christiane Amanpour, tennis great Andre Agassi, and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar would have never called the United States home, nor would the United States benefit from the innumerable contributions to medicine, engineering, science, and academia that Iranian-Americans made in the last half-century.'
