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.

Immigration "reform" is a classic example of the type of euphemistic weasel-words that political hacks love to use.

EVERYONE wants immigration reform, because the status quo isn't working. So some naive souls might believe that somewhere in immigration "reform" there would be an effort made to enforce existing laws (i.e. keeping people out, deporting those who don't belong), when there's really no such thing. It's called "reform" because calling it what it is: amnesty, would be too hard for most Americans to stomach.

Translation. We have our pensions and savings, prospects for future speaking fees, and no more hope of becoming President, so screw the lot of you.

Divide by 100 and I still can't imagine the havoc.

I think that the bombing in Boston is one of the least of problems for those who are proposing amnesty for illegals.
