Clouseau Heads Truancy Investigation

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency officials are now tackling the tough problem of college truancy. It seems that 11 Egyptian men bound for college in Montana, disappeared in New York City and no one has seen them in two weeks. Julie Meyers, the head of ICE has publicly stated that the men are not considered to "pose a criminal or terrorist threat" at this time. But they would like to talk to them. Just to have coffee and donuts because the men aren't a real threat. They're just truants.

Another ICE official theorized that the 11 men are probably visiting relatives or looking for jobs. Right. I'm sure that they've gone straight to the unemployment office so that they could find work. I'm betting that you won't be ordering a Big Mac from these guys anytime soon. The fact the all of the persons were men, between the ages of 17 and 22, Muslim, and that they disappeared in the nation's largest city minutes after arriving are not reasons for concern. That would be profiling. That would be wrong.

Maybe they can find work at an airlines, or a crop dusting service, or in a hospital, or at a water treatment plant. I hear that they are looking for Border Patrol agents, maybe they could find work there.

It appears that the French have loaned inspector Clouseau to ICE and he is scripting the press releases. I for one would love to hear the ICE chief come and say that there are 11 men from an Islamic country who came to this country on student visas and promptly disappeared. Until these men are found it should be assumed that they are terrorists and that they pose a grave threat to the people of the United States. That would be leading. That would be the right thing to do. That would be a miracle.
