Immigration idiocy a boon to Jihadis
NY Post ^ | May 15, 2010 | Michelle Malkin

The FBI's arrests of two Boston-area men tied to the Times Square bombing attempt -- both held on immigration violations -- underscore continuing homeland-security lapses.

FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents say two men of Pakistani descent, who may have provided cash to Times Square bomb plotter Faisal Shahzad, were taken into custody in raids on Thursday.

One was here on an expired visa. The other was on the loose while an immigration court adjudicated his deportation-and-removal order. He'd reportedly been ordered deported in 2002, yet managed to embed himself in American society for more than seven years. But for the ability to detain potential illegal aliens on "administrative" charges, the men most likely would have remained free.

then what about Obama’s Aunt, poor old lady ...

Can you imagine having a President with an illegal alien relative, ordered deported twice, does nothing about it, doesn’t even apologize,

and no one says a word?

Incredible.

My prayer is that we get a new Congress in November, impeach Obama and try him for treason.

As of May 2006, the most current data available, 4 million to 5.5 million people had entered the U.S. legally and then remained after their visas had expired. An additional 250,000 to 500,000 people entered legally with temporary border-crossing cards and then stayed.

Last year we found and deported 1,400 of them....

.03%

Half of the illegals came to the US legally as tourists, etc. The border crossers are really ignorant, walking through the desert. Why don't they just get a tourist visa and be welcomed across?

Ain't no fence gonna help that folks......
