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 don’t think SC people are capable of defeating “Lovable Lindsey.”
Lindsey, especially, reminds me on an arrogant Tory c. 1779.
McCain’s mother is still alive, isn’t she? Longevity runs in his maternal family at least. And people in AZ would never get enough of his exposure to the media, thus giving an otherwise forgotten state much publicity.
I can just picture him as a pampered fop with a powdered wig, sipping tea with his pinkie extended. Rouge on the cheeks and all - looking down at all the little people while he stabs them in the back.
As long as these two idiots are seeming to run the Republicans’ business, the GOP is dead!
John McCain and Lindsey Graham, they act like the run the country, let alone the Senate. Two BUTT-BOYS joined at the waste-end always wanted to be the first ones to speak out of the same hole!
These 2 pin-head senators hate America.
I have a slightly different take and inner-motivation for these two....they really LOVE themselves more than they love their country. You see, it's all about them and their EGO to be in the limelight... be the "mouthpieces" for whatever fantasy or issue 'THEY' want to support. They represent NO ONE but THEMSELVES!
I heard Graham on the Michael Medved Show a few days ago. Medved supports this bill and was basically sucking up to Graham. It was interesting to hear Graham talk about illegal immigration as a threat to our national sovereignty. He declared that he would not back away from this bill.
The militant tone of his voice during the interview suggests to me that he is getting a lot of opposition from the right. I think the more people learn about this bill, the more the opposition will grow. I am cautiously optimistic that this bill, if it survives the Senate, will die a slow and painful death in the House.
I hope.
ye wee stupid beasties
They represent no one but themselves: fat chance, AZ and SC are addicted to these two clowns because they bring publicity to those states. “Comedian” Al Franken by contrast gets little attention outside MN.
For being involved in war first hand...John McCain seems to have a nonchalant view of our security. Especially securing the border, sending money to Muslim Brothethood, destabilize our economy with pushing more spending/debt...
I saw a poll in 2010, don't remember whose it was, that among McCrazy voters only 31% knew he was one of the Masters of the Universe working for Shamnesty.
Sorry to say there were three other reasons I know of that McCain was able to beat JD Hayworth. 1) Sarah Palin's endorsement which McCain had recorded and played on conservative stations all day every day (yes, I know she only appeared once for him and didn't really comment after that, but the damage was done).
2) The NRA endorsed McCain to whom they had given a very generous grade of B+ while they had given an A grade to JD. My guess is Grover Norquist fixed the NRA endorsement.
3) McCain lied his filthy demented head off about JD. JD wasn't perfect, but he was very good and he was never able to get the word out to the 69% of LIVs that he had been totally cleared of the charges against him RWT to the Jack Abramoff scandal while McCrazy was protected about his own very real connection to that same scandal.
The bombers are poster children for immigration reform
“Does anybody here still think Rubio is the boy wonder...”
I got a call from some Republican group that calls often even though I never give them money(it might have been Morris’s). I even recognized the guy’s voice.
When he mentioned Rubio—apparently hoping to get a favorable response, I said, “I’m done with him. He’s over with!” It just burst out of me. He was very surprised. Too bad.
The stages of this debate can now be traced as follows as they relate to McStain and Grahamnesty.
1) Useful idiocy
2) Willful ignorance
3) Deliberate sabotage
Especially in light of Boston, anyone who fast-tracks amnesty should be submitted for psychiatric evaluation.
Was listening to Kudlow and his pal Stephen Moore on the radio saying the same thing. These open borders hacks on the “right” are bought and paid for.
They won’t listen to a sliver of reason regarding this issue.
Millions of American citizens unemployed for years now and we need to legalize another wave of illegals and import foreign workers. It’s all about driving wages down at any cost.
Deport the Gang of 8
Lets bring them all out of the shadows and right up front on the streets at sporting events.
Methinks they should have them reside next to the sprawling mansions lived in by the Feinsteins, Boxers, McCains, Schumers, Clintons, etc.
