So many ramifications

Submitted by LindaK (United States), May 12, 2007 at 18:17

This story has so many ramifications. Here's a couple more:

Several of the jihadists were illegal aliens. So where is Congress? Where is the border fence? Why isn't immigration shut down until we can sort out what we've got? Why haven't illegals been expelled? Why hasn't islam been declared unconstitutional and muslim immigration halted? Why did Congress vote to grant these common criminals social security benefits? Why are they voting to open up the visa program to let more foreigners in without background checks? Such blatant disregard for the Constitution and our welfare suggests we have a large Fifth Column in Congress. At the very least, they should be voted out. Preferably, kicked out.

It also emerges that one of the jihadists was the prototypical good neighbor, which was also the MO of the September 11th hijackers who infiltrated our country. One was an illegal alien here for 23 years. That begs the question, when and how did he become a cell member? The caliphate initative is decades old. So did this man immigrate here as part of that initiative? Or did he join the jihad later? When? Was he indoctrinated at a mosque? There is more to this story.
