Interesting snippet from a couple of days ago..... :D

US waived law to allow Burmese refugees to enter US

News By BBC

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has waived a law to make Burmese refugees, almost all of whom back an armed group fighting the Rangoon military junta, eligible for resettlement into the United States, the State Department said Friday.

With the waiver, some 9,300 ethnic Karen refugees housed in Tham Hin camp in Thailand along the Burmese border and who backed the Karen National Union (KNU) will no longer be viewed as terrorism supporters, officials said. Under US law, people who provide material support to terrorist organizations are not eligible to immigrate into the United States. :o

Great news ... since teaching in a school or making clothing in these groups was considered giving aid and comfort to an insurgency
