Under that logic, the white house should be an "undesignated
terrorist organization" shouldn't it?

STALWART SERVICE FOR U.S. IN IRAQ IS NOT ENOUGH TO GAIN GREEN CARD
During his nearly four years as a translator for U.S. forces in Iraq,
Saman Kareem Ahmad was known for his bravery and hard work. "Sam put his
life on the line with, and for, Coalition Forces on a daily basis,"
wrote Marine Capt. Trent A. Gibson.
Gibson's letter was part of a thick file of support -- including
commendations from the secretary of the Navy and from then-Maj. Gen.
David H. Petraeus -- that helped Ahmad migrate to the United States in
2006, among an initial group of 50 Iraqi and Afghan translators admitted
under a special visa program.
Last month, however, the U.S. government turned down Ahmad's application
for permanent residence, known as a green card. His offense: Ahmad had
once been part of the Kurdish Democratic Party, which U.S. immigration
officials deemed an "undesignated terrorist organization" for having
sought to overthrow former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

ASSHOLES! They should send all those bozos to Iraq for a few months, then
ask them to reconsider their decision.
