Homeland Security Strikes Again!
Has anyone else come across this?
It seems that Homeland Security is ordering refugees home to an uninhabitable volcanic island for no reason that I can see. What? Are they afraid these people can unlease the movements of tectonic plates in their basements?  http://news.bostonherald.com/localRe...rticleid=67660

Rules are rules. If they didn't want a volcano to devastate their island, they shouldn't have supported those radical policies.

Give them a choice, uninhabitable volcanic island ... or Cleveland.

Well, New Jersey would just be too cruel, in an unconstitutional sense.

The way I read it is tha the OHS is trying to get them out before the legislation can pass or fail, basically short-circuiting the process and preventing them from mounting a proper lobby or campain.
