In the wake of the recent
bombings in Boston by foreign visa students, republicans, federal agents, and
other anti-immigrant sentiments have emerged.
The Department of Homeland Security ordered U.S. Customs agents to
verify in full any foreign student entering the country to ensure the accuracy
of their visa status. Reports indicate
that two friends who aided in the Boston bombing were in the country on invalid
visa status.
Frankly, why are conservatives so hell-bent on foreign
entities on our soil? The number of
domestic attacks – from police & school shootings to road rage – are far
greater in number and in threat than that of foreign students seeking an
education in our country. Chuck Grassley
was “surprised” that the administration had not addressed these potential
loopholes in our foreign visa system. Surprised? Ever since Bush left office,
the right has done nothing but obstruct any progress from the current
administration, so why is it surprising that this issue has not been addressed?
