John McCain & Lindsey Graham Want You to Know Boston Bombings Won’t Slow Immigration Reform

John McCain & Lindsey Graham Want You to Know Boston Bombings Won’t Slow Immigration Reform By Becket Adams | Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday released a statement saying that despite the week's events with the Boston Marathon bombing, it won't deter or slow their efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Here's their statement, released before the capture of 19-year-old suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev:

In the wake of this week's terrorist attack in Boston, some have already suggested that the circumstances of this terrible tragedy are justification for delaying or stopping entirely the effort for comprehensive immigration reform.

In fact the opposite is true: Immigration reform will strengthen our nation's security by helping us identify exactly who has entered our country and who has left - a basic function of government that our broken immigration system is incapable of accomplishing today. The status quo is unacceptable.

We have 11 million people living in the shadows, which leaves this nation vulnerable to a myriad of threats. That is all the more reason why comprehensive immigration reform is so essential.

I wish I was still naive enough to be surprised by this sort of thing. Using their own logic, I guess they can’t wait to let in more “enemy combatants”, in spades, even. Brilliant!

BORDER BATTLELINES

Open immigration invites terrorism, again

Exclusive: Tom Tancredo says U.S. system ‘should afford protection against jihadists’
Published: 22 hours ago

Tom Tancredo is the founder of the Rocky Mountain Foundation and founder and co-chairman of Team America PAC. He is also a former five-term congressman and presidential candidate. Tancredo is the author of “In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America’s Border and Security.”

Surprise! Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and other guardians of political correctness have declared a taboo against linking the two jihadist Muslim terrorists in Boston to our failed immigration policies.

Two young Muslim immigrants have been identified as the culprits behind the Boston Marathon slaughter. Using homemade “backpack” bombs constructed on the models in al-Qaida training manuals, they killed three people, maimed a dozen others and injured over 170. Yet, our nation’s lawmakers are not supposed to worry about how the immigration system allows legal entry to thousands of individuals from territories infested with jihadist training camps?

Sen. Schumer has reasons to be worried. His 844-page amnesty bill is in enough trouble already without these uninvited guests crashing the Schumer-Rubio Happy Hour.

Americans not infected by the common disease Potomac Myopia can connect the dots. Ordinary folk assume that a successful immigration system should afford protection against jihadists, not a welcome mat. When citizens say they want our broken immigration system fixed, they think that means securing our borders, real enforcement of immigration laws and better screening against jihadists gaining legal status by way of a green card.

The political reaction to the horrific news out of Boston should serve to alert Americans to this unpleasant fact: Sens. Schumer, Rubio and other members of the “Gang of Eight” have different priorities. Most citizens will be shocked to find out that the bill this “Gang” introduced this past week, S.744, actually makes it easier, not more difficult, to enter the United States illegally and then obtain legal status and citizenship.

If comprehensive immigration reform means getting the illegals out that are here, preventing anymore from coming in and halting the islamofilth infiltration, then I’m all for it.

Obama's take on the bombings: "Just relax Americans, kickback, and enjoy it as the terrorists come to kill you."

THE BORDER-CROSSERS SAY OVER AND OVER THY WANT TO KILL US---BLOOD-CURDLING "LA RAZA STUDIES"---ACTUALLY TAUGHT IN ARIZONA SCHOOLS FOE TEN YEARS : These shocking quotes are taken directly from A LA Raza textbook "Occupied America" (pg. 167): “Supporters would execute all white males over age 16,” (also known as the Plan of San Diego). LA Raza school textbook chapter from “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and if worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323).

La Raza books also talk about the need for the govt of Mexico to re-take seven states in SW United States. so that the Southwest USA would become a Chicano nation.

YOU ARE PAYING FOR THIS In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to "La Raza charter schools" via the US Dept of Education grants. These charter schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.

La Raza is using taxpayer funds to organize the murdering of Americans; the federally-funded La Raza organization operates 100 charter schools across America.

ARIZONA SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASE--- Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools. Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7) who was just narrowly re-elected to our US Congress.

Cong Raul Grijalva (and friend) is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal representatives in our Congress....aiding--abetting and funding La Raza studies.

Kerry presented his "credentials" to Obama when the Secy of State job became available.

I have yet to see a single politician who understands that immigration policy should first and foremost serve the interests of citizens.

And that the people allowed to come here should be people who want to be us, and that they should be brought in numbers that can be easily assimilated. More people could theoretically be allowed in from countries that will easily assimilate, while others who are harder to assimilate you obviously allow fewer if any at all.

You should never allow immigration from any one country in numbers large enough that they establish colonies that do not assimilate. And your immigration policy should actively filter out people who do not want to assimilate.

That is all the more reason why comprehensive immigration reform is so essential.

As everybody knows, if a bill has a title with the word "comprehensive" in it, that's a clear tipoff that the bill contains loads of pork and crap provisions that would NEVER pass on their own merit as stand-alone measures. McCain and Graham can take their "comprehensive" pile of crap and shove it where the sun don't shine.

By all means, let’s hurry so we can bestow citizenship on another would-be terrorist....as many as we can....and without background checks. The background check will come once they are citizens, of course.
