What he’s really saying: While everyone is distracted by Boston we want to ram amnesty through the Senate.
(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he won’t let the terror attack in Boston — and concerns about the immigrants behind it — derail the immigration bill introduced last week by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and six other senators.
“There are some — some on the hard right…who opposed our immigration bill from the get-go, and they’re using this as an excuse. We are not going to let them do that,” Schumer told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“If they have a reason, a suggestion as to how to change it based on what happened in Boston, we’ll certainly be open to it. But we’re not going to let them use what happened in Boston as an excuse, because our law toughens things up.”
