Boston Suspects' Background Threatens To Derail Immigration Bill Some Republicans voice second thoughts about immigration reform legislation in light of the revelation that the Boston bombing suspects are ethnic Chechens who came to the U.S. from Russia.
“Given the events of this week, it's important for us to understand the gaps and loopholes in our immigration system,” Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said at a hearing on the immigration reform bill.
By Lisa Mascaro April 19, 2013 WASHINGTON — The background of the Boston bombing suspects quickly emerged Friday as a potential hurdle to immigration reform, as renewed fears of terrorism gave conservative opponents a fresh argument against a proposed new law.
"Given the events of this week, it's important for us to understand the gaps and loopholes in our immigration system," Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said at a hearing.
"How can individuals evade authorities and plan such attacks on our soil?" he asked. "How do we ensure that people who wish to do us harm are not eligible for benefits under the immigration laws, including this new bill before us?"
Conservative commentators echoed Grassley.
The proposed law's "sponsors should delay debate on the bill until there is a full and complete account of how the children who became terrorists came into the country," wrote Hugh Hewitt, a radio host, referring to the brothers who are suspected of planting two bombs at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured more than 170.
After it became known that the older brother had died in a shootout with police, Ann Coulter tweeted: "It's too bad Suspect # 1 won't be able to be legalized by Marco Rubio, now."

Exactly...I think the last person was George Costanza trying to be like TO-NY!
Any GOP votes for the Gang of Idiots’ immigration plan should be marked for extinction in the next election. We don’t need to import more criminals.
Which is going to turn off and harden the hearts of even more fence sitters and low info voters, who are more well informed about this incident than nearly any news story of the last ten years.
Another odd thing was that the white cap guy was wearing a Ralph Loren Polo cap complete with a horseman logo on the front. Weird. Most USA teenagers just wouldn’t wear something like that.
Ever watch “Full House” uncle Jesse used to wear the hat backwards..also Vanilla Ice used to do it too
Some were speculating yesterday that the two bombers might have gone to The Masters last week..to get a better feel how it is to blend in with a crowd, that way when they plant the bomb they wont be so scared of getting caught
The industrial revolution is long over. We do not have the need for thousands of unskilled laborers any longer. So why do we allow totally unskilled immigrants, or even those with common skills that many Americans alread have, to enter?
Political correctness....
Ditto that.
Not all of them do. Many are small children when they arrive here, but they're part of an insulated sub-culture where they're all too easily radicalized by true jihadists.
Exactly!

***********
I recall seeing those comments. The FBI should check their cell phone logs and look at pictures of The Masters around the holes where large crowds are gathered.
And then they are indoctrinated by our educational establishments who also hate America.
What soul?
Those Black HEarted Liberals that think they have a soul!
To all you Black Hearted Democreats and the McCains and
Rubios. Oh and Grahm and that ass Judge Roberts! ans Especially you Boner! Words of Darr!
Exactly...I think the last person was George Costanza trying to be like TO-NY!

Thank you. The leftists in this country not only invite these people in, but then go on to encourage them to attack us.
It's a wonder we don't have even more of these terrorist attacks at home.
Well, if we were not being run by crooked politicians, an immediate emergency halt to all immigration, amnesty and VISA’s would be in order. Should have been in order right after 911. So this is the fault of the Oligarchy. They are the crooks responsible for the killing and maiming of our fellow citizens.
