13,000 Muslims Face Deportation From U.S.

Ironically, officials acknowledged that most Arab and Muslim immigrants have no ties to terrorist groups.

Of the 82,000 people who showed up at immigration offices, and tens of thousands more screened at airports and border crossings in the past six months, 11 have had links to terrorists.

However, officials argue they can no longer ignore illegal immigrants from countries that pose a security risk.

They noted that several 9-11 hijackers were in the country illegally at the time of the attacks.
