John McCain & Lindsey Graham Want You to Know Boston Bombings Wont 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.

“....Were likely SOL on her working againt McCain, for obvious reasons, unless she sees light for our future. Time will tell, there”
*******************************************************************
In his last reelection in 2010 McCain spent over $20,000,000 in the Republican primary and consequently won the primary with 56% of the vote—which worked out to over $70 a vote. Pretty hefty for a not particularly populated state.
So he’s not up for re-election until 2016. I strongly suspect that he won’t be running for reelection (because of his age and because he’s showing early signs of approaching dementia). So he’s more likely to be wearing a drool-bucket than hitting the campaign trail.
Of course depending upon the specifics of his disease medication can delay the progression of the disease—possibly long enough for him to be reelected. But since I sense his family wants that bubble headed daughter of his to take his seat, they may not want to risk having him still in office after the dementia has overtaken him.
Graham, he’s definitely beatable.
*whew* I was so relieved to read this! I was so worried and now can sleep at night thanks to McLame and Grahamnesty.
NOT!
Get a clue you two ~ we want it STOPPED DEAD.
We should never have admitted Einstein.
Graham and McCain are living in a make believe world, where up is down, day is night, round is square, and it all makes perfect sense.
In a righteous world, they’d be run out of the Capitol with tar and feathers stuck to their hides.
The federal government could be enforcing the current immigration laws that would have prevented the bombings in Boston, in fact, the current immigration laws provided for deporting this very kind of alien trash , but, as usual, this socialist administration elected not to deport him, instead, gave him enough freedom to build a bomb an set it off murdering Americans!
Nothing this proposed immigration reform bill will do to secure this country, since, this administration will never and I say again, NEVER, will secure the border, since this is their main source of new socialist voters! I heard Rubio on M. Levin radio program, everything they are proposing requires the American people to [trust] the federal government to secure the border in five (5) years! Hell, in another five (5) years there will be another 15-25 million illegals in the country and Lord only knows how many illegal alien terrorist that number will be made up of!
I guess these so called “representatives” of the American people really believe we are that stupid as to believe the borders will be secured! This comes from our out of control government that refuses to enforce the current firearm laws so they can point to the number of convicted felons getting firearms, or the same out of control government who ran firearms illegally to Mexico the drug cartels that murdered several hundred men, women, and children in order to blame the American people and push for stricter firearm laws! This same out of control government is now refusing to enforce the current immigration laws to they can sit back and watch the American people get murdered, robbed, raped, and beaten by illegal aliens, all the while telling the American people, “don't you dare defend yourselves, you racist bastards!” Now, wants us all to believe this time around they are going to secure the border, “we promise” this time, with their fingers crossed behind their backs and laughing at every American who even thinks about trusting them!
I say hell no! Until the borders are secured, moving armed national Guard troops tot he borders, building a double fence, increasing the amount of electronic security along the borders, north, south, and in between, these gangster of 8 can all go to hell with this bull shit immigration bill they wrote behind closed doors and out side the view of the public at large!

Good point!
I have stopped blaming McCain and Graham. “The fault doth lie not in the stars but ourselves.” These two scoundrels keep getting elected and re-elected because of low-information voters and lack of viable candidates. The damage the two of them have done to conservative issues will be lasting and irreparable damage done to the Republic. Why hasn’t there been a massive backlash to this measure like what happened last time?
“We should never have admitted Einstein.”
Seriously, what kind of response are you expecting out of that statement??
How about a few million calls to their offices this next week? Let them know what We The People think and remember all of them in 2014 and thereafter.
Did you guys hear Rubio bull sh*tting his way through Rush’s interview? And Rush still has the stupidity to call Rubio a Conservative!
Idiots All!
Again with that 11 million figure. I have to think that it’s very likely at least thirty or forty million, if not more.
And if there were a massive backlash, would it be reported to the citizenry, or, would the fifth-column media ignore it, like they do the abortion butchery trial?
I’m writing an email to AlL Senators and ALL congressmen:
You lawmakers have blood on your hands.
you continue to let immigrants into the U.sA. that perpetrated 9/11 and Boston marathon bombings. even now you want to let more in with your magnificently stupid immigration/amnesty bill. that is called treason.
What actually needs to happen is to repeal all the immigration acts and return to pre-1965 immigration act America, when then America was actually growing economically and not becoming socialist and infiltrated with terrorists. It is the 1965 immigration act and the subsequent Amnesties that have led to the decline of America and terrorism.
If you don’t do the write thing to turn back this country into the capitalist free market, ownership , non-terrorism filled society it was then you are traitors to America, traitors to freedom : socialism doesn’t work and these people you are importing from the 3rd world since 1965 are not Americans and believe in socialism so that’s the problem.
an American
I’m doing my part you all write them your thoughts
Sadly true.
Somebody please inform these two idiots that the law doing such already exists. Entry and Exit control was passed in the 1996 IIRCA Act. But then three amnesty-loving presidents did nothing to enforce it and the succession of Congresses nothing to fund it.
So here's McCain and Rubio saying we need amnesty passsed to determine who is entering and leaving the country, when for 17 years they have done nothing to enforce an already existing identical law.
McCain we know. Does anybody here still think Rubio is the boy wonder when he is too stupid to know that immigration laws are never enforced? Let's face it - Rubio is a career politician with no beliefs other than what his consultants tell him might "sell".
If he thought it would get him votes and a favorable article in the Washington Post Style section he would be trying to turn Texas back to the Comanches.
What is equally incredible is that even Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin think Rubio is a man of integrity, courage, and intellect. Jimmie Swaggart ranks higher on the integrity and honesty stage than Rubio.
SC must have some of the most uninformed people in the USA. Now 57 percent of “Republicans” favor Lovable Lindsey’s renomination. These may some of the same souls for Mark Sanford too. People so often lack basic knowledge and are misinformed by the media.
