Terrible. However, we do that to our own citizens, so a foreigner shouldn't
be
surprised.

There's this Kiwi who runs a sporting guns shop in NZ. He goes to the US
regularly to buy sport rifles. Airport staff arrest him for not declaring
he's shipping guns (he said he did declare them). Charged, he's advised to
plea bargain -and gets 1 year in the slammer. Just as he's about to be
released they ship him to Georgia who says he bought the guns
illegally -although he supplied his address, photo id, phone number and
bank account. Told he'd be wise to plea bargain -he does and gets another
year added to his jail sentence. He's about to be released and INS now
jump on the bandwagon. He's now an overstayer on his visa... He tells them
he would love to have left but they wouldn't let him. Guess what, he's
back in jail. This is what happens when a mindless (vindictive)
bureaucracy takes over. The federal Govt. would not release him to serve
time here... because he's such a danger to America???? (He's generally
viewed as a good father (quite religeous) carrying out a legitimate
business and who only deals in sporting rifles -no handguns no automatic
stuff.) Of course he is an alien in the US...

Cheers
