Ineligible means what is says.

From last I read, he came on an f43 visa, which he is the dependent child of someone who was the sibling of the lotto winner, thus the sponsor of him. This is classic chain immigration.
Yes, US Citizens can sponsor family members, and same rules apply to natural born citizens and naturalized ones.

I'm sure the Mayor will be making excuses for the perp, and saying it's the Republicans fault.

Let's see. On September 10, 2001 there were lots of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq? Yeah figured it out.

That was just a stupid move. And as unpopular as it is to say, both sides have a reasonable claim to Jerusalem. It was just plain stupid for the USA to try to "give it" to either side. It's not ours to give. Hell, it's not either of theirs to fully claim. The only solution would have to involve some cooperation, which seems to be a foreign concept to this President.
The guy's been planning the attack for three years and assembled the bomb early last week, before the announcement. Your post makes no sense.

Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC his sources in the department said the explosion was an "ISIS-inspired attack." Bratton said the suspect was a man in his 20s from Bangladesh.

1% of the US population kills more Americans in terror attacks than any other. How long before even the left accept the truth about this violent death cult?
But they're exotic, indigenous and not boring dead white guys.

Bin Laden was pissed at US working with Saudis during Gulf War-I, and yes, after that war we kept US troops in Kuwait and elsewhere in ME.

Therefore, blowing up people on the subways in London and New York City, ramming people with cars in Nice, Germany and New York City and shooting up concert venues in Paris and Las Vegas (yes the Paddock shooting) were rational responses?
