Such revenge would both punish the wrong people and bolster the power of those currently in the government. Moreover. proposals to summarily expel all Iranians from the United States would likewise be cruel and counterproductive. Vast numbers of the Iranians now residing in the United States are refugees from the terror at home. and to expel them would be to send them to their deaths. While we should always be prepared to deport those immigrants who violate our laws. we should not deport people merely because they are Iranian. Beyond this. I believe that we must give close attention to the nature of our relations with Iran after the situation within that country has become more stable.
