Swipe that EBT at Walmart and buy instruments of death with our own money everyone. Can we make it any easier to kill? What a joke..
How did you expect them to know they were terrorist ??????????

Oh, I don't know, maybe the warning from the Russian government could have tipped them off.

And after that, his 6 month trip to Chechnya, his extreme social media postings.

They didn't even have to wait for all of that. By the time the Russian government tipped us off, the government could easily have seen that he was a dead beat, with a history of dangerous driving, beating women (not convicted, but he admitted to hitting her), and was sucking up public resources in welfare, public defenders, etc. That should have been more than enough reason to deport him when Russia sounded the alarm:

I'm looking, but found this so far:

"Moreover, in August, the Center for Immigration Studies found that 36 percent of immigrant-headed households received at least one major welfare benefit. Food assistance and Medicaid have become especially popular among immigrants."

Nope. I am an independent who votes for a mixture of candidates, based more on their personal character and career rather than their particular political party. I believe in smaller government rather than ever expanding government, whenever possible, but I also see the need for many government programs. In just about every election, I vote for a mixture of candidates - nearly always including Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians.

Anyway, despite forced charity being immoral lets look at what you said. You said no problem with people who 'qualify' in caps suggesting they are unqualified. No, they are/were qualified and they received benefits like way too many others do.
Qualify means qualify. I have no problem with people who QUALIFY for benefits getting those benefits. However, this family somehow managed to travel back and forth to Russia frequently, buy houses, attend college without working, etc etc In other words, they were adept at milking the system. I would be willing to bet that much of their income went unreported. Transatlantic travel isn't cheap.

So lets look at two things within this case. This shows you just how rampant the abuse and over exaggeration of welfare benefits need in society. This guy can be a semi-pro boxer, get married, has a house, builds bombs, buys guns, smokes pot, gets arrested for being his girl, etc and he is getting benefits and was allowed to immigrate into our country.

The bottom line is, we need to completely overhaul social entitlements and probably kick out 9 out of 10 people off the program and their redundant counterparts and 'force responsibility' instead of forcing workers to pay for the dregs of society and their criminally inherent nature and societal decay.
Right. Boston, we have a problem.

The 'kicker' to all of this is the most devastating. The remaining living family (and 19 yr bomber, I'd bet money he will get life in prison vs death penalty) will continue to receive benefits, social hand out and will now be known for their hatred for USA, Islamic extremist and mother who bore two terrorists. You will CONTINUE to pay for her and the remaining family despite this disgusting revelation.
Well, the mom's in Russia - after having been busted for shoplifting in the US last year. I have a feeling she won't be back on our government teat. Let us pray.

I just love the human mind that can draw parity between two unconnected facts.
No it just demonstrates public assistance is abused in many cases and has probably been overextended.

DO you enjoy having your hard earned wages cut to pay for curruption?

Your taxes also fund the U.S. government.

Not exactly a boy scout operation itself.
