Congressman Says Bombings Reveal Danger Of Immigration Bill: Radical Islamists Are Trained To Act HispanicBy Igor Volsky posted from ThinkProgress Immigration on Apr 17, 2013 at 10:00 am
During an appearance on CSPANs Washington Journal on Wednesday, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) claimed that this weeks bombings of the Boston Marathon should give pause to immigration reform advocates who seek to reform the system.
We have seen this in Israel, Gohmert said of the Boston attacks and recalled visiting areas that had been struck by suicide bombers. Finally the Israeli people said this is enough. They built a fence and the rest is a wall to prevent snipers from telling their kids. They finally stopped the domestic violence from people that wanted to destroy them. I am concerned we need to do that as well.
The Tea Party favorite said he feared people entering the country illegally or posing as undocumented Hispanic immigrants could carry out copycat things. We know Al Qaeda has camps on the Mexican border, he said. We have people that are trained to act Hispanic when they are radical Islamists.
Gohmert criticized the bipartisan immigration bill unveiled by the Gang of 8 this week, arguing that it would give immigrants a bit of amnesty. You have to understand that we want America to continue to be a haven for people that want to live free, he added. When you have the greatest liberties, you will draw people that want to destroy you.

Sorry, buddy, but it's more than just learning Spanish. Discarding a lifetime of body language is next to impossible. Shoot, white folks from California stuck out like sore thumbs in Boston.
Then again, "stupid" is far too inadequate a word to describe Louie the GOMER.
