Joe, our whole review is not just on visas. I'm not even referring to visas. I'm referring to exactly what you're talking about, and that is the security of those who want to come to this country to call it home. Because you spent the other half of the article actually....
In fact, I think the way you wrote this, that sentence actually becomes the thesis upon which you have constructed this article. The rest of the article goes on to defend why we should in fact talk about values and beliefs based on the murders that took place. You give some very good examples from the Shafia case and the trial and their convictions.
You really build a strong case that in fact values and beliefs should be questioned when going through the interview process, whether for permanent residency or any other part of immigration it might consist of, and that it's a fair question to ask. At least, that's what you're suggesting.
