Maybe it’s not a good idea to let our enemies into our country, ya think?

I was reading through some of the reporting today on the arrest of several Pakistani Muslims in connection to the failed Times Square jihad bombing. I came across this quote from Governor’s Councilor Marilyn Devaney in the Boston Herald:

Governor’s Councilor Marilyn Devaney, who lives around the corner from the home raided this morning, said, “This is so scary. This whole laissez-faire immigration thing is putting everyone at risk. We’re just fortunate that we’re getting these people before they’re successful. Here we are just six miles from Boston.”

Of course, neither Miss Devaney nor anyone else of serious political consequence will follow that line of thought any further. But it is encouraging, however fleetingly, to see a little rationality and common sense break through the fog of liberalism.
