JD Hayworth suggests Iraqi terrorists crossing our borders
Anyone hear this last night on Lou Dobbs?

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0502/01/ldt.01.html
"DOBBS: And the president, a member of your party, President Bush, is absolutely -- there are a number of expressions for it, but apparently without reserve going to go ahead with his amnesty program, guest worker program, and is perpetuating what is effectively an open borders program in contravention of everything you just said is the appropriate policy.

HAYWORTH: Well, this is the point that several of us have made to the president individually, and we continue to make, because, Lou, it begs this question -- if folks won't obey existing laws, what makes us think they will obey any new laws. Certainly if history is any guide in the wake of Simpson-Misouli (ph) and that form of amnesty back in the mid to late 1980s we have not seen a curtailment. Indeed we're witnessing an illegal invasion. And amongst the Mexicans coming north are folks who intend to do us ill, I believe.

Just -- case in point, Lou, a visit to the border station Nogales where the people there said, gee, Congressman, we picked up an Iraqi.
He claimed he got a green card in 1978 but that begs the question, why is he sneaking into the United States? And why was his Spanish so much better than his English?

So the bottom line that I take to the president in the midst of this profound disagreement is that border security is national security, that there are serious questions and not only about our future in terms of national security, but a flashpoint on Social Security, with the so-called totalization agreement with Mexico. That would be wrong."

Note...The point I'm making here is not the topic of border security; rather it's the way that Hayworth injected into the discussion that an Iraqi (not Al Queda, not Iranian, not Syrian, etc) came across the border to do us harm. He uses this specific individual as his "case in point" of those "who intend to do us ill".

So, Congressman Hayworth, do you believe the invasion and occupation of Iraq has made us safer? Hmmmm?

They're now in the category of insurgents!
