The news<\/a> that the FBI has initiated “a massive manhunt” for six suspected terrorists, four of whom are reportedly Chinese, is bad news for the racial <\/a> profiler<\/a>s. It should also raise more than a few questions about the President’s proposed immigration “reform<\/a>“, which would essentially legalize millions of illegal immigrants: the six came to the U.S. from Mexico. From there they supposedly headed for New York, and then Boston. <\/p>\n

What are National Guard units doing on the banks of the Tigris, when they should be standing guard at the Rio Grande? To heck with sealing Iraq’s borders<\/a>: let’s start with our own.<\/p>\n

“One of 14 people, mainly Chinese nationals, sought over an alleged terror plot in Boston has been in US custody for two months, the FBI says. Mei Xia Dong, a Chinese woman, was initially identified as a man wanted in connection with an unspecified threat. <\/p>\n

This news isn’t stopping our Keystone Kops from diverting yet more resources to this wild goose chase:<\/p>\n

“The FBI said it was still interested in details on the other 13 on its list.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Here’s another tip<\/a> they might want to follow up, as long as they’re determined to waste time and the taxpayers’ money….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
