The suspect in the Times Square car bombing attempt is the latest in a series of U.S. citizens and green card holders to be implicated in a terror plot inside the United States, raising questions about the naturalization process that turns foreigners into Americans.

More importrant, and I give credit to Shepard Smith for noting this this afternoon, is that the Federal government absolutely failed to hae anyh intel on this guy before he tried to detonate the bomb. The whole operation failed simply and solely because he didn't obtain and didn't build an effective detonator. The regime's bragging about the quick apprehension of the perp is a HUGE smoke screen to cover its total intelligence failure in this case and others, like the underwear bomber.

I’m surprised Mo Atta didn’t become a citizen. I guess he figured he didn’t need to.
I’m sure we would have bent backwards to give it to him if he’d asked.

Er, someone get the word to Fox that this isn’t exactly the kind of ‘immigration reform’ the Kenyan Kommie has in mind.

Our melting pot is boiling over. People seek to become Americans to do harm to the country not to assimilate. Multiculturalism and diversity will be the death of us.

It's time for an immediate moratorium on all immigrants from Muslim, sub-Saharan nations, and Latin American nations.

They check they have no criminal record and can either support themselves or have sponsorship.

As people go visit their old countries, it is hard to know if they are visiting relatives or radical terrorist camps IMO. It all depends on the level of what is being watched and what intelligence is being loaded into data bases and made available.

People can’t read minds...yet.

It takes more than Obama giving 1.3 million ‘green cards’, to turn them into Americans...

We not only need to close the border with Mexico but halt all immigration from the Middle East, except Israel, for five years. Shut these people down. We didn’t start this crap but we can sure as hell put a stop to it. Well.....we could if we didn’t have those in Washington that wanted the United States to fail.

It’s actually hard for Mexicans to get citizenship or even enter with a visa.

Obama speeded up the process for people from Muslim countries shortly after he took office.

The bomber had been in this country for quite some time legally, and had come as a student and somehow kept getting his visa renewed. He was working here in a marginal job because he was apparently a sub-par student.

One of the things Obama has already announced about whatever immigration bill is finally presented is that he wants more immigration from Muslim countries. Keep your eye on it. It’s going to make you wish for the good old days of illegal Mexicans.

Why ANY muslims, since 9-11, are being let into this country is beyond me. If they are being given citizenship, they must be arriving here legally. Incredible.

Tell that to someone that has gone through the process legally. It is too easy for all the wrong people. For people that want to come here, work hard, pay taxes and get ahead, the process is long and difficult.

Everybody that votes to end the visa lottery and diverstity visas, raise your hand.

So what’s up with your elected representative. Why do they still allow these? Relaxed standards for a visa lottery and diversity visas get us terrorists.

We have the stupidist representatives in the world, by far.

because he was apparently a sub-par student.

But, according to Rush, he managed to get an MBA. Did he do it on our dime?

Not much good has come of any Muslim immigration, and I've known a lot of them over the years. Even the so-called "Westernized" ones seem to have a crazy streak that comes out a inopportune times. I could write a book.

What do you expect when you allow dual citizenship? Loyality? I really despise our change to allow dual citizenship. It allows people who have extreme reservations about being american’s to become citizens and free to take the good, but leave if they want.
If they won’t turn in their foreign passport..they shouldn’t be given citizenship. They can just stick with a green card that can be revoked.

Big Red Flag on immigration “reform”. This guy becomes a citizen as a cover + Holder will come to his rescue. Start a moratorium on immigration for anyone from the Middle-East? We need a complete conservative review of our immigration laws/policies. Forget Amnesty. . . . don’t even think about it!
