Republican Party Uses Boston Marathon Bombing To Denounce Immigration Reform

The Extreme Right Wing Continues to Search for Ways to Stop Immigration Reform

The racist, and extreme right wing of the Republican Party is looking for ways to denounce bipartisan immigration reform.  Now they’re using the Boston Marathon bombing as a reason.

Their complaint is that the Tsarnaev brothers, who are suspected of detonating bombs at the Boston Marathon Monday, were given visas to live in the United States about a decade ago.

The family was given visas for the U.S. under the provisions of protecting migrants from ethnic, religious or political persecution.

The older brother was a ‘permanent resident’, and the younger had received his citizenship just last year.

Anyone who knows about the “good old white boy’s” attitude towards immigration is fully aware that this is merely an attempt to derail a plan that is sensible, fair, but tough.

If they truly believed that our government mistakenly allowed the brothers refuge in our country, than we would have to evict tens of thousands more.  Many of our Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Cuban citizens were granted visas under the same guidelines.

On Friday, during a Judiciary Committee hearing, Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa questioned whether “lawmakers were moving forward too quickly on the proposal”.

Too quickly?  This should have happened under the Reagan administration when legislation was passed that had no enforcement provision.

Conservative radio was quick to denounce the bipartisan plan based on the Boston bombings.

One conservative radio talk show host said the Senate’s new amnesty plan was now dead on arrival. However, a number of Republican senators in support of the reform proposal acted quickly to rebut their conservative opponents.

With Republicans and red states renewing their war on women and Hispanics, the 2014 mid-term election is getting more and more interesting.  Republicans could lose many more seats in the House and Senate.

Need I add more to this article my friends….well no, not really as it says just about all I was thinking on the subject….ahhhh but you know DL…….you know if he thinks there is something he feels he wants to add…welllll…..

See now if I had written this article the title would have read….
” Republican Party Now Attempts To Use The Horrible  Boston Marathon Bombing To Denounce Immigration Reform, In Some Kind Disgusting,
Bizarre, Demented,  Twisted, Antiquated And Thoroughly Fucking  Delusional Conservative Republican Mind Set “.

You know I’ve heard many Conservative Republicans recently say that they were becoming increasingly ashamed to identify themselves as such…..

Only thing I have to ask those people is “What took you so Long  ” ?

Thank you
DL
