U.S.-Deported Pakistanis: Outcasts in Two Lands

Date: January 20, 2003
Author: David S. Rohde
QUOTE: Many Pakistanis see them as victims of an anti-Muslim witch hunt....[the dragnet] has swept up the spouses of American citizens, homeowners and businessmen who had lived in America for seven years or more and were in the process of trying to legalize their immigration status.

ABSTRACT: In the campaign against terrorism, 6 Pakistani men were recently deported to Pakistan from the United States. This dragnet has also affected their American spouses.  The men claim not to be criminals, but homeowners and businessmen who were in the process of trying to legalize their immigration status. Many had not seen their homeland for a decade or more, and feel out of place.
