If Sandy Hook Was About Gun Control The Boston Marathon Bombing Should Be About Immigration Reform

The DC Clothesline

In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre Barack Obama and the Democrats decided

to use the attack to push the gun control legislation which eventually failed in the Senate last week. This legislation would have done nothing to stop criminals from obtaining weapons but rather would have made it more difficult for law abiding citizens to obtain firearms to protect themselves from the criminals, but that did not stop the Democrats from pushing this legislation in the wake of this attack.

With Dzhokhar Tsarnaev now in custody and the crisis over (we think) we are going to hear about the need for increased video surveillance on all street corners in major cities and possibly even an increased police presence in the streets, and this will probably be used to justify the domestic drone spying program which is already in the works. This will be the narrative from both the Democrats and the Republicans alike.

Again the focus will be on infringing on the rights of law abiding citizens, asking them to give up a little more liberty for a little more security and much like the Sandy Hook reaction this is misplaced because the focus should be on our immigration and deportation laws.

We now know that the two Boston Marathon bombers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, where Chechen Muslims (with possible ties to al Qaeda) who were brought to this country as children several years ago and at some point became radicalized. And then there is the mysterious story about the Saudi national student who was in America on a student visa: he was injured in the blast and he was a person of interest under guard in the hospital, his roommate confirmed their apartment was searched, and his family allegedly has ties to al Qaeda, yet after an unscheduled meeting between Barack Obama and a Saudi minister (supposedly on the Syrian conflict) it is being reported that he is being deported due to national security concerns.
