Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX):
I talked to a retired FBI agent who said that one of the things they were looking at were terrorist cells overseas who had figured out how to game our system. And it appeared they would have young women, who became pregnant, would get them into the United States to have a baby. They wouldn't even have to pay anything for the baby. And then they would turn back where they could be raised and coddled as future terrorists. And then one day, twenty...thirty years down the road, they can be sent in to help destroy our way of life. 'Cause they figured out how stupid we are being in this country to allow our enemies to game our system, hurt our economy, get setup in a position to destroy our way of life.
Words fail...
Words fail…
The bat-shit raving insanity of all that is even if you assume that this lunatic, 20-30 year “gaming the system” terrorist strategy is in fact being implemented, the idea that this strategy is going to “help destroy our way of life” is insane standing alone.
As if every terrorist is General Zod or something.
i like the idea of a plot with a 30-year timeline, and which hinges on the idea that children are durable shells which can perfectly preserve their parents’ politics over the course of three decades.
1. have a baby in the US
2. wait 30 years
3. jihad!
or in underpant gnome lingo:
phase 1: have a baby in the us
phase 2: …
phase 3: jihad!
makes about as much sense
