As information continues to pour in, the politicizations begin

BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD

As law enforcement officials work to capture the second bombing suspect in the Boston attacks, pundits are already using the unfolding events to score political points on immigration reform and gun control.

The first lawmaker to bring Boston into the immigration debate, which is currently going on in a Senate hearing, was Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.”We appreciate the ability to talk about immigration, particularly in light of the events in Boston,” he said.

Sen. Marco Rubio’s office put out a statement urging people to avoid politicizing Boston. “Boston is still developing and it’s too soon to jump to conclusions, let alone use the tragedy to make political points.”

3. We should register and do a background check on anyone coming here

and then they won't do any crimes.

And since more people doing harm to the country are followers of islam, ban all semi-deity and fully-auto religious people. A single deity only (as the founders intended, they only had one god back then).

Monitor the way they dress, if they look scary - it means they are scary. Probably more dangerous too. Even if two are coming here and they are twins, if one dresses different than that one should be banned.

Someday, it is my hope, all our hopes, that we can end all violence by citizens (the government is ok to do things). We just need more and more laws because laws against hurting people are already in place and don't work. Like a law that says if you use your fist versus open hand, make that illegal - see I feel safer already just thinking about how another law like that is gonna save us.

4. Only Americans should be allowed to mass murder and maim other Americans
