Creating Monsters: Terrorism, Welfare and “Celebrating Diversity”
Townhall.com ^ | April 28, 2013 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 04/28/2013 5:17:33 AM PDT by Kaslin

To call the Tsarnaev family a “piece of work” is an insult to work.

But they are a piece of something, something the editors won’t let me write here (just think of what last night’s dinner is now). Not only were Tamerlan, the Boston terrorist currently burning in Hell, and Dzhokhar, the Boston terrorist soon to be burning in Hell, on welfare, but their whole family was on the government dole.

This isn’t as much a case against welfare as it is a case against immigration reform. In their time in this country this family did nothing but take and added nothing but misery.

The famous plaque at the Statue of Liberty reading, “Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” is a not the call for every degenerate, miscreant and slacker to come suckle the government teat as liberals would have you believe. In fact, the whole poem is a beacon of hope saying anyone can come here and make of their life what they will.

It’s the story of America. It’s the hope and opportunity that your life will be as good as you can make it, unlike most of the rest of the world. We have no caste system, the only limits on your life are set by you and your abilities. It is declaring that we are the only nation where someone can do anything, where even the child of worthless, absentee parents who shirk their responsibility can grow up to be president.

Enter the Tsarnaevs…

They came to this country legally…and got on welfare. Why was a family that literally brought nothing to the table allowed to immigrate? I haven’t seen an answer yet, but I suspect asking the question will be called “bigoted.” As would asking why we should legalize millions of unskilled workers when we have too many of them already.

In the days since the Boston terrorist attack, we’ve learned the Tsarnaev family – except for Uncle Ruslan – is exactly the type of people a functional immigration system should be designed to keep out. It’s not, and despite all the lip-service being paid by advocates, the “reform” making its way through the U.S. Senate won’t do anything about it either.

That the Tsarnaev family, a group exhibiting behavior rarely seen outside of meth-infested trailer parks, came to this country and took, then left and left these children behind is a disgrace. That so many on the political left have even entertained the idea, now being pushed by Mama Tsarnaev, that America is somehow to blame for their radicalization is an even bigger one.

It started when The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder asked, “What is it about America that so alienates young men?” in the context of wondering about “the possibility that something about America is radicalizing people of all sorts.” Others soon followed suit in suggesting America had a major share of the blame, including the woman from whose loins these creatures sprang.

Well, I’ll take the bait.

Aside from what appears to be awful parenting, the Tsarnaev boys were immediately engulfed in a progressive ideology. Generous social services for all-comers is a staple of the left’s Utopian philosophy. They lived in a progressive state, attended schools similar to those across the country where self-esteem was given, not earned, and still turned out to be monsters…well, you see where this is going.

The progressive philosophy is designed to make you “feel” good about yourself, but for merely existing, not doing anything. It’s designed to “celebrate diversity,” not assimilation. This line of thinking not only granted cover to the Tsarnaevs to care about their former homeland more than the one providing for them, but “alienated” them from this country more than anything else.

The United States has a history of self-segregation. Every major city has a “Little Italy,” “Chinatown” and the like, but they’ve shrunk. They didn’t shrink because outside forces overtook them, they were overtaken by outside forces because the goal was to assimilate. New immigrants moved there as a transition from their old home to their new one. They lived there while they learned the language, culture and the ability to move out. Progressives have reversed this trend.

This trend has been reversed to the point that the winner of the $338 million lottery winner in New Jersey, who immigrated to this country 26 years ago, needed a translator at his press conference to express his joy.

New immigrants are told they don’t have to assimilate, that they shouldn’t. Not that they have to give up their culture, but suggesting they might want to embrace the culture and language of their new homeland is now a bridge too far. Perhaps that was a factor in why immigrants who’ve lived here for nearly all of the impressionable part of their lives would identify more with a land that is nothing more than a distant memory than the one that welcomed them.

So if progressives seek to assign responsibility for why the terrorist now burning in Hell and the other terrorist who should soon join him in those flames felt alienated from society, they need look no further than the nearest reflective surface.

Of course blame for any terrorist attack lies firmly with the perpetrators. But since liberal progressives seek to assign blame elsewhere, have no delusions that if there is any extra to go around it is firmly on their hands.

Mark on your calander to call your congressman and senator TOMMOROW to communicate your protest and reject the Comprehensive Illegal Immigration Bill now being rammed down our throats by the “Gang of Eight Shits”.

Secure the Border and ramp up deportations.

The whole PC/diversity thing is gonna get us killed. Those that have half a brain and can think for themselves know that all that crap is a one way street. “We” are supposed to be all accepting and tolerant of, hell everything. But, if it’s something we believe in (or feel) we are labeled bigots, racists, haters(NRA members!) and a myriad of derisive things. The tolerant ones have no tolerance for us. TFB! You can be respectful but you ain’t gotta’ accept some things.

There is a George Strait song that covers what is happening to The United States right now:

And then they voted democrat. And that is really the reason the government lets them in.

Aside from what appears to be awful parenting, the Tsarnaev boys were immediately engulfed in a progressive ideology.

NTL REVIEW/DAVID HANSON----The Tsarnaev brothers have offered us a teachable moment about what have become near-suicidal US immigration policies. Unless the government can assure the public that it is now enforcing immigration laws already on the books,

(1) that foreign nationals must at least avoid crime and stay off public assistance, and,

(2) that it is disinclined to grant "asylum" (free ride on the US gravy train) to “fearful refugees” from war-torn Islamic regions and then foot the bill for them to go back and forth between America and their supposedly hostile homelands on the taxpayers' dime,

.....there will be little support for the current immigration bill.

Massachusetts Gov Deval Patrick refused to divulge info WRT public assistance to the Tsarnaev's. But welfare officials were forced to b/c the info is available to lawmakers. State Rep David Linsky called on the Mass Dept of Transitional Assistance to provide the info..... issuing an ultimatum, giving them 24 hours to provide the info.

The Boston Herald published the state's response: 'My office is working to fully comply with your request,' DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan wrote, saying they were only providing a summary 'given the great interest in this matter.'

Chechen immigrants Tsarnaev parents were eligible as legal, non-citizen residents who claimed "asylum" status and met the eligibility criteria for DTA, DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan said in a letter to David Linsky, Chairman of the Mass House Post Audit and Oversight Committee.

On Thursday, multiple state agencies, at the prompting of Gov Patrick, refused to comment on the brothers' benefits.

<><> WRT Tamerlan receiving UI benefits, Labor dept spokesman Kevin Franck refused to comment....

<><> Univ of Mass-- Dartmouth spokesman Robert Connolly refused to comment on the financial aid app of 19-year-old soph Dzhokhar. 'It is our position - and I believe the accepted position in higher education - that student records including academic records and financial records (including financial aid) cannot under federal law be released without a student’s consent.'

<><> The FCC would not discuss whether the suspected bombers had govt-paid cellphones.

<><> Cambridge housing officials would not comment on if the brothers had Section 8 rental subsidy offered by the HUD to low income households.

==============================================

News that alleged terrorists received state money sparked outrage in the Boston community w/ 3 dead and more than 260 injured.

AS FREEPER BLACKDOG INSIGHTFULLY POSTED Gov Patrick, Boston Mayor Menino who used govt authority to build Tsarnaev's mosque, the federal government, and the State of Massachussetts should be indicted as co-conspirators since they financed the schooling, travel, feeding, housing, telecommunications, and healthcare of the terrorist bomber brothers.

NOTE: People on "terrorism watch lists" (as the Tsarnaev family was) are indicted every week for sending $2,000 to family members in Islamic countries. How is this any different?

================================================= The bomber brothers' lavish style could not have been financed merely w/ welfare checks. A look at Tamerlan's reading list on Amazon shows several books on forging new identities (each identity pocketing US govt freebies).

The bomber brothers' monthly welfare checks would not have sufficed---the brothers had to have several other sources of income. Tamerlan's reading list on Amazon (URL posted above) shows he researched forging phony identities---a practice very common in the latino community.

======================================

NJ BERGEN RECORD CIRCA 2004---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity (many latinos establish multiple identities in order to ride the US gravy train).

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said NJ state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

============================================

Immigration reform is the gateway to terrorism. "Ethnic solidarity" is rearing its ugly head (think Boston bombers w/ a latino accent). US politicans are clearly colluding and conspiring with foreign agents to undermine US ntl security and placing Americans in danger. The word is out: " It's open season to conduct dirty deeds....and US politicans are helping us. So, all you "undocumented" terrorists, come on down---invade the US, and bring bombs "

You are completely ignoring that the Boston marathon bombers came here legally and the younger brother was even a naturalized citizen as of September 11, 2012. Incidentally the day of the Benghazi attack. As a matter of fact, everyone of the 9/11 2001 terrorist came here legally and did not sneak in through the Mexican or Canadian border. I worry more about these types whose purpose is to kill us

The self-satisfied smug, arrogant look on the
faces of the Tsarnaev brothers looks awfully familiar.

It's b/c we've seen the defiant, unflinching
gaze, and those phony smiles, many times. Pasted
on the faces of illegals blotting our landscaspe.

Boston was a prelude to the destruction the latter are hatching.

There are other ways to get this information-nothing, but nothing, the government does can stay secret in the computer age.......stay tuned!

MA has one of the largest State contracts with foreign translation
company CETRA in the country. If you need help in any State Office here & don’t speak, read or understand English there’s no problem. I wonder how much it all costs the tax payers...
