The Washington Times<\/a> reports that Senator Charles Grassley brought up the relationship between the Boston bombing and our immigration laws and the reforms being proposed in the Senate;<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the events of this week, it\u2019s important for us to understand the gaps and loopholes in our immigration system,\u201d the Iowa Republican said. \u201cWhile we don\u2019t yet know the immigration status of people who have terrorized the communities in Massachusetts, when we find out, it will help shed light on the weaknesses of our system.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was speaking at a hearing called to examine the new Senate immigration bill, which would legalize illegal immigrants and expand avenues for overall legal immigration \u2014 though it would eliminate the diversity visa lottery and cut the ties used to bring in siblings of immigrants.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before the trolls start calling me a xenophobe, my wife has a green card, so does my step-daughter and her daughter, so I’m pretty familiar with the immigration process since I’m their sponsor. The difference between my family immigrating and the illegal aliens is that we went through the process three times, and we pay for renewing that whole process periodically. <\/p>\n

When my wife first came here, we had to report to the Immigration authorities every year, until Jimmy Carter changed that, for some reason. We have complied with every regulation and kept up with the regulations – because, just like gun regulations, immigration regulations only burden those who abide by the law. <\/p>\n

But, yeah, we need to be more careful about who we let into this country as the string of crimes committed by illegals become more well-known during the current discussion, crimes that cost legal residents their lives. And, certainly, this whole thing in Boston illustrates too clearly that we need a process to track these people. <\/p>\n

And how much is this search in the Boston area costing taxpayers, you know, the legal residents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
