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.

McCain/Lindsay stupidly SAY REFORM WILL "STRENGTHEN" OUR NATION (cackle)---deranged pols will use US govt authority and tax dollars for "immigration reform"---to welcome Third World terrorists who have SAID LOUD AND CLEAR that they want to kill AMERICANS.

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.

VOTE-CRAZED POLS SUCKING-UP TO TERROR BIGTIME (undermining US laws left and right): No one is safe w/ deranged pols and the terror-sucking freak and his Chi/mob crew occupying our WH.

Graham is getting pounded in SC for his bonehead immigration stand. His approval in SC is dropping like a rock. He was at 71% approval, and it’s plummeted to 54%.

He is vulnerable to a primary challenge.

These two traitorous senators have the wrong idea.

It should be: "Immigration enforcement will strengthen our nation's security."

These two clowns are totally clueless.

They are arrogant elitist bastards who believe they know what is best for the public, not the public and that they have the right to use their political power to thrust their warped views down everybody’s throat.

At WHAT POINT did the Federal Government assume the RIGHT to overrule the sentiments of the majority of its citizens on an issue as important as this one??

Using their own logic, I guess they can’t wait to let in more “enemy combatants”, in spades, even. Brilliant!

Seriously. Why not legalize people from rouge nations around the world? That way, they can kill us "legally", right?
After the carnage, these politicians can look up their names in the amnesty book! Alright! Awesome!

It will be slowed and stopped. One way or the other. If they keep letting more Muslims come here, the odds say we will have more terrorists here. And future immigrants will view this country as being too unsafe to live within. The brain dead Oligarchy knows this, but they will be retiring in Malta with their briefcases full of money.

The Big Lie is that the bulk of border-crossers are Mexican----BUT we know Mexico is the staging area for all of the Third World freeloaders---that includes global terrorists bent on destroying America.

Terrorists from Mideast countries are entering the US from Mexico......their swarthiness gives them a pass to masquerade as Mexican illegals

The Mexican border has become the staging area for (1) global terrorists (swarthy Mideasterners who pass for Mexicans), (2) the criminal latino uderworld, (3) Third World lowlifes, (4) drug cartels, (5) impoverished latinos hoping to win the "border lottery" in the US and the like.

And US politicans are looking the other way. The word is out---"come to Mexico to infiltrate the US. It's open season to conduct your dirty deeds."

======================================

As FReeper sick of libs insightfully posted: Rubio's new reform pkg "says" there'll be at least a 10 year wait BUT the wait for US citizenship will be s-o-o-o long that illegals who apply will wish they had NEVER left their comfy Third World homelands.

SUMMING UP Rubio's plan will make them sorry they came here. Plus they will get zero benefits for those l-o-n-g 10-15 years. Plus Schumer and Durbin and Obama agree with all this.....b/c Rubio is such a tough negotiator, he has them eating out of his hand.....(alarm bells ringing)...

=============================================== CONCLUSION-- (Sniffle) AT ALL TIMES, the Gang of Eight was guided by sacrosanct founding principles----government of the people, by the people, and for the people (sob)...... The "people"---that's us.

Oh yeah. The politicians go to Washington as paupers and "magically" retire as multimillionaires.

All they're thinking about is keeping THEIR jobs, THEIR power, and THEIR lives of luxury. If the SHTF during their tenure - screw us - they're off to their luxery bunkers or private Islands. We're on our own.

In the wake of Monday Boston bombing, all we hear from the Gang of Eight are from Rubio, and now Graham & McCain. Making foolish and unwelcome headlines and news.

Why do you think the Dem-side Gang of Eight know when to keep low profile. Not that they are not pushing but ‘invisibly’.

Mexican drug cartels swarming into the US (read below) already have financial arrangements with Hamas and Hezbollah, and will be empowered to expand those partnerships via The Schumer-Rubio amnesty bill. It’s a small step from blanketing America w/ marijuana and heroin to aiding and abetting Hezbollah operatives. To these hardened criminal, the profit motive rules, no matter the source.

NY POST EXCERPT--- Mexican cartels dispatch agents deep inside US - spread into non-border states

CHICAGO (AP) — Mexican drug cartels whose operatives once rarely ventured beyond the US border are dispatching some of their most trusted agents to live and work deep inside the United States — an emboldened presence that experts believe is meant to tighten their grip on the world's most lucrative narcotics market and maximize profits. If left unchecked, authorities say, the cartels' move into the American interior could render the syndicates harder than ever to dislodge and pave the way for them to expand into other criminal enterprises such as prostitution, kidnapping-and-extortion rackets and money laundering.

Some cartels even have Mexican operatives fill out job applications before being dispatched to the US, Riley added.

In Mexico, the cartels are known for a staggering number of killings — more than 50,000, according to one tally. Beheadings are sometimes a signature. So far, cartels don't appear to be directly responsible for large numbers of slayings in the United States, though the Texas Department of Public Safety reported 22 killings and five kidnappings in Texas at the hands of Mexican cartels from 2010 through mid- 2011. Still, police worry that increased cartel activity could fuel heightened violence.--SNIP--

In Chicago, the police commander who oversees narcotics investigations, James O'Grady, said street-gang disputes over turf account for most of the city's uptick in murders last year, when slayings topped 500 for the first time since 2008.

Although the cartels aren't dictating the territorial wars, they are the source of drugs. Riley's assessment is stark: He argues that the cartels should be seen as an underlying cause of Chicago's disturbingly high murder rate. "They are the puppeteers," he said. "Maybe the shooter didn't know and maybe the victim didn't know that. But if you follow it down the line, the cartels are ultimately responsible."

"If any Saudi can walk in on a preferred visa, to quote pantsuit, what does it matter?"

They plan on increasing visas...a lot! As well as bringing back people they deported. And other equally offensive measures, like funds for aliens to hire lawyers, etc, etc.
