    Mr. Ashcroft,

     
    I am writing to express my anger at the current program of special registration
    for men from 20 countries. Requiring people to register on pure basis of ethnic 
    origin and immigration status is the worst form of racial profiling. The 
    targeting of specific countries of origin generally in the Middle East, 
    South Asian area, and more and more immigrant communities shows a pre-mediated 
    racism. 

    I am also outraged at the use of these registrations to effect mass detentions of 
    immigrants from these areas.  The entire program has the appearance of mass roundups 
    similar to the internships of Japanese during the second world war, and other 
    occasions in this country's history which we are all ashamed of.
     
    
    [Your name]
