Boston Bombing and how it affect immirgation

Two very big things happened to America in a relatively shot period of time.  The Immigration Reform Bill was given to the public and the tragic Boston Bombing occured.  Due to one of the Alleged bombers being a documented immigrant, there is some debate if reform is really even a positivity.  Many voters and politicians alike are wondering how this terrorist made it though our strict immigration process  legally.  And if they can do it cant anyone?  The difference is that all signs at this point lead the him being just a normal American Immigrant working and whatnot until after he was accepted into the US.  Leads say that he met a mysterious man and spent all his time with him, then took a trip to where they train terrorists, and planed it after that.  May people are saying now that our immigration system is too lax as is and the way to reform it is to make it stricter, and harder for anyone to immigrate.  The issue with this is if we make it even stricter and harder to get into the United States then the amount of people who immigrate without proper documentation will increase greatly.  This then will lead to ICE having an unimaginable task of keeping America "safe."  If someone wants to get into the US that bad they will, or they will die trying.  But if we tighten the reins on immigration even more rather then helping it would only hurt us.  Because like my professor Nuno stated, most terrorist will not pass through immigration legally, they will do it rather illegally.  And if we do have so much more undocumented immigrants ICE will be too busy deporting and prosecuting the nannies, maid, mothers, father, gardeners etc. to be able to find the terrorist, or the ones that actually a threat to America.  this then will make America even more unsafe.  Plus all signs lead to him being a normal law abiding citizen when he was admitted to America, and then was lured into terroisic movements.
