Citizenship of UA Student Revoked

During the 2007 legistlative session, it is highly likely that a bill giving in-state tuition to illegals will be proposed. HB1525 nearly passed during the last legistlative session. Now, with more democrats in in the state government as well as the national, the illegal alien agenda will have a much better chance of passing pro-illegal legistlation. The biggest pro-illegal bill being talked about is amnesty. KTHV has done a rare act in actually informing the public about problems in immigration.Here's a story about 1 more reason why America is not ready for an amnesty.

Citizenship Of Former UA Student Revoked

A former University of Arkansas graduate student from the Middle East lost his U.S. citizenship Thursday and was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison. Arwah Jaber was previously acquitted of an aiding-terrorism charge but convicted of lesser offenses, including obtaining his citizenship fraudulently. He also was sentenced to three years supervised probation upon completion of his prison term. Jaber, who was born in the West Bank, was arrested at the Northwest Regional Airport on June 14, 2005, as he prepared to leave on a trip to the Middle East. Prosecutors said he planned to join Palestinian Islamic Jihad, labeled by U.S. authorities as a terrorist organization.

Jaber was acquitted June 20 of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization. But, the jury convicted Jaber of five lesser charges: obtaining his naturalization unlawfully, making false statements on passport and immigration applications, and two counts of making false statements on credit card applications.
