It's too bad that thousands of people killed or maimed by criminal aliens and drunken illegal alien drivers didn't have the effect of those killed and maimed in the Boston marathon bombings.
After 9/11 I saw the silver lining that we would finally get control of our border.
It appears that the welfare and safety of the American people isn’t worth serious border control.
It is true that illegal aliens have killed more Americans than the Boston Marathon bombers but that happened in a very visible way that the nation could not ignore. It happened during the Boston Marathon which is a world wide event, the marathon is shown on television, the bombing was very visible and dramatic and the search and hunt for the bombers held the nations attention for several days. Now the investigation and the trial will be going on for months which cannot be ignored. The media just couldn’t ignore this, it just literally blew up in their faces.
The thousands of deaths caused by illegal aliens, however, can be covered up because they happen on or two at a time. There are three thousand killings every year, half by drunk drivers and half by murder. When Americans are killed by illegals it is usually not filmed by security cameras so they are not seen. The local newspapers do not mention the immigration status of the drunk drivers or murderers. It just comes under the category of crime and is not linked to the violation of our immigration laws.
The Marathon bombing has opened up a whole can of worms for all of those liberal apologist for massive immigration. This terrorist attack really was successful and killed and maimed many people in a very visible way. The other wannabes like the Times Square bomber didn’t actually succeed in killing anyone.
Now we are discovering more every day about our deliberatly “broken immigration system”. We learn that a whole family from a very dangerous part of the world—Chechnya were allowed to come into the country as “refugees”. Did anyone really check to see whether they had radical connections?
Now we are learning that the family collected $100,000 in welfare money. How many others are feeding off the public trough? Then there are the colleges which not only opened the doors to these strangers from a strange land but omitted American students who could have taken their places. Then gave these terrorists generous scholarships. Now we see that there were several others who seemed to know of what was happening and helped Tsarnaev dispose of the evidence. These friends of the bomber were also going to college and were immigrants.
This attrocity has given the country a close up look at just how disfunctional our immigration system is.
