GOP Senate aide: Don’t blame our immigration system for the Tsarnaevs, blame “our society”

Via Michael Goldfarb, a complement to Erick Erickson’s post today at Red State about Republican aides turning desperate, shrill, and repulsive as the Gang of Eight bill runs into stumbling blocks. Quote:

MORNING MINDMELD, from GOP Senate aide whose boss favors immigration reform: “The … analysis that the Boston attacks are a setback for immigration reform appears wrongheaded, as we learn more about the story. The fault here wasn’t our immigration system, since the suspects immigrated legally a decade ago as kids and apparently were radicalized here. If anything, the fault lies with our society and domestic intelligence services. Given the facts, the events in Boston seem unlikely to stoke nativist sentiments that may derail immigration reform. To the contrary, to the extent it renews fears of terrorism, it will strengthen the case for reform, since the bipartisan proposal fixes major gaps in our national security posture (by implementing a visa-exit system, registering and background-checking undocumented immigrants, gaining 100% awareness of our southern border, etc.).”

I want to know how a “society” that granted the family asylum and then gave Dzhokhar money to go to school is culpable in the bombing. Dzhokhar, at least, seemed well assimilated given the number of classmates who’ve been babbling to the media about how nice and normal and chill he was. Maybe the problem has more to do with him being a sociopath than with “society”?

Nice job, though, by the GOP aide in throwing the word “nativist” in there even though most amnesty opponents on the right support legal immigration. How does a left-wing buzzword like that end up in a Republican aide’s statement? Very easily, actually: Turns out it’s not the first time conservative staffers have resorted to liberal smears lately in defense of the bill....

They're just as much the enemy as the Democrats.

“They’re just as much the enemy as the Democrats. “

Muslims? The GOP? Both? Which they?

Years ago, I saw a cartoon featuring the hangman fasting the rope around the neck of the condemned while mouthing the lament "I realize society is at least partly to blame for your crimes, but I have only enough rope for you!"

They’ve sold out America for campaign cash from businesses that want cheap labor.

Traitors of the worst sort.

If we severely limited immigration and eradicated Islam we wouldn’t need such a large domestic terrorism intel branch to fail.

Numbers prove that catering to this group will not increase the vote among third world hispanics or anyone else. They are getting food stamps, section 8,business loans and are told they all come from Obama.

GWB was among the worst when it came to border security. He had the chance after 9/11 to do something to save this nation but Nooooo his admin theme to continue the tradition of being a “welcoming nation.” PFFFTTT

IMHO immigration bill of 1965 and of 1993 has sealed America’s fate. It is over folks and we have been invaded.

Its important to see the business angle here.

In Pennsylvania, a state senator from Lancaster County introduced DREAM Act legislation to give children of illegals in state tuition rates at universities.

He’s a Republican.

The area has a lot of food and agriculture related industry making ice cream, potato chips and more.

Its those businesses that want the cheap labor pool and they bought the politician.

gaining 100% awareness of our southern border,

Whay kind of liberal double speak is that? It's OK if there are illegals coming accross, as long as we're aware of it? Will we have "Southern Border Awareness Day in schools? What?

WHO, just WHO is his boss? Any guesses or do we actually know for sure.

Aren’t we all getting sick of this #@&*(*&@ ???? Not my fault, not my fault.

So, how can we find out who it was and then call that Senator’s office.

I want that sniveling SOB to go confront those injured in the bombings face to face and tell them that society - namely THEY - are to blame.

Obviously the bombers hated runners. So we must end all marathons and running events. We do not want to develop such hatred. And those terrorist they just caught up in Canada apparently hated bridges. So we must destroy and remove all bridges because we do not want to develop such hatred.

It is not Islam nor the street gangs that are our enemy. Our enemy is the politicians that support them. The media that promotes them. The Liberals that befriend them. They are our true enemy.
