Dear Editor:
The events of 11 September raised fears for many American citizens about their safety in a world where terrorism may strike suddenly and effectively. But those fears are fully matched by the justifiable fears of non-citizens that they will be subjected to suspicion, search, delay, and detention based on accidents of birthplace, appearance, gender and age. Kudos to Tien-Li Loke Walsh and Bernard P. Wolfsdorf, who detailed how this is happening in their article "Recent Developments and Updates on Travel Issues for Non-Citizen Workers," appearing on 14 November.
We immigration lawyers often serve our clients with advice that goes far beyond statute and case law, and information on what a non-citizen can expect when traveling is extremely valuable. This well-written and concise article not only helps us inform our clients about current practices; it may also impel us to serve as watchdogs, guarding the liberties of non-citizens against the real dangers of overreaction by zealous enforcement agencies.
