Home Depot Co-Founder: 'We Have Enough Screwballs in America Without Importing Them'
CNS News ^ | 11/01/2017 | Craig Bannister

“Nothing proves to me more than this experience that we need to know who’s here with us,” Home Depot Co-Founder Ken Langone said after an ISIS-inspired terrorist used one of the company’s vehicles to go on a murder spree in New York City Tuesday.

Appearing on Fox News Channel, Langone said the suspect, an immigrant from Uzekistan who legitimately rented the vehicle from Home Depot, is proof that the U.S. immigration system is endangering Americans:

“Nothing proves to me more than this experience that we need to know who’s here with us. How the hell can we just say, ‘Come on in and we don’t care how you got in here and we don’t care where you’re from or what you did or what your background was’?”

Langone said he has nothing against immigration – but, the U.S. needs to know who is immigrating to the country, and why they’re coming here:

“I’m not arguing pro or against immigration. My grandparents came here as immigrants. I think virtually everybody’s ancestors came here as immigrants. We’re a country of immigrants - but, they all came legitimately and we all knew where they came from and what they wanted to do.

 

“This underscores the need for us to be diligent and have a program and have an effort where people have to let us know who they are and that they came in here legitimately.

“Why have borders, otherwise? I don’t understand this.”

Presented with the argument that nothing can be done to stop deadly attacks, especially by “home-grown” terrorists, Langone said U.S. shouldn’t exacerbate the problem by refusing to properly scrutinize immigrants:

“Look. there’s nuts in the world. You know, we have mass murders, remember Kaczynsk, the guy that was the Unabomber – we have enough screwballs in America without importing them.

I am beginning to sense that America’s attitude to unlimited immigration and illegals is changing. The pendulum is swinging back.

Doubtful.

It’s Home Depot. I don’t see the illegals sitting outside of them waiting for someone to hire them for a job boycotting them because of his statements.

Home Depot. Right. Home of Illegal Alien labor.

Not to worry about renting trucks, though.

Flipping channels tonight, I saw an Enterprise ad for truck rentals.

He said something, anything which automatically deposited him directly into the crappola. Just what will it look like?

I get this vision in my head of 3-4 Dems in a creepy little cave. Every night. Deciding what the rest of them will talk about tomorrow.

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange slammed the CIA, saying. “ the deadly terrorist attack in New York overnight might not have happened if the agency investigated terrorists instead of training and arming them. “ The suspect reportedly had a note in his truck that said he committed the attack on behalf of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), law enforcement told NBC News. img src=”https://twitter.com/JulianAssange

“We’re a country of immigrants”

If I only had a dollar for every time I hear that nonsense...

Part of what we call America was originally territory of England. Thirteen colonies. The people who migrated here were English citizens moving to English territory, they were not foreigners coming to a foreign country.

Americans were well established for many generations long before the Revolutionary War. Americans had developed a fairly advanced state of civilization of their own.

There has always been a mostly native population with very minority immigration allowed in until 1965.

‘We Have Enough Screwballs in America Without Importing Them’>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And 99% of these screwballs are liberal fascists,dedicated to becoming cannon fodder for the next Civil War. The other 1% screwballs are sex perverts who vamp off their fellow Dems.

I think I just might go back to home depot. But he might want to look in his parking lots and into who he rents trucks too.

Not far from the truth.
Look up the Podesta/Hillary Campaign troll Farm in Bangalore, India.
