Your point is taken, but I think we should wait to find out more about the circumstances of the 2002 immigration before we jump on the blame Bush bandwagon. The bomber was not granted political asylum, his father and mother were and the bomber was 10 years old when he immigrated. We don’t have all of the back story on this yet. If it is proved that the Bush administration dropped some ball with this family, then we should have that discussion.
One thing we DO know is that under the Zero administration, a foreign government informed the US officials in 2011, that this man had terror connections. The Obama administration dropped the ball or worse, an enemy agent inside our government hid the information.
We do know that one of the 1993 WTC bombers was given amnesty under the 1986 Reagan amnesty. We really don’t know who these people are. And background checks are difficult depending upon which country they came from. It will be very easy to bring in foreign agents and give them “new skins” under an amnesty. They will then be able to travel freely on US documents.
