Immigrants eager for presidential action on citizenship
Boston Globe ^ | November 7, 2014 | By Maria Sacchetti

Few were as excited about Election Day as Moises Herrera. He did not run for office. He cannot even vote. But reaching Tuesday’s election, he hopes, will set in motion actions that will allow him to stay in the country.

“It’s the great hope,” Herrera, a 36-year-old father of four, said in an interview on Election Day, days after immigration officials released him. “There are many, many people in that jail, and they are waiting for that day.”

In Massachusetts, Herrera was at constant risk of deportation. In 2011, after a traffic stop in Everett, he was jailed and deported, but he returned to the state within weeks.

Nobody ever charged him. Instead, immigration officials detained Herrera for more than two weeks, through the birth of his son, and released him after he hired a lawyer and the Globe inquired about his case.

On Wednesday, Obama said he would not wait for Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration bill to deal with the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants and declared that he would take action by the end of the year.

The 11 million illegal aliens that Obama wants to grant amnesty to equals the combined population of Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, DC, Vermont, and Wyoming.

Imageine the illegal alien situation on an individual level.

They come into your home, demand that you speak their language, turn your TV to Telemundo, raid your pantry and eat your food, take the money you earned from your wallet, steal your mother’s car, rob your friends, rape the neighbor’s daughter, then get indignant and sue you because you won’t give them the deed to the house or put them on your will.

I see he has respect for the rule of law already. A model citizen. Follow only the laws you feel like. A real credit to our society while we pay for his kids.

Herrera was at constant risk of deportation; after a 2011 traffic stop, he was jailed and deported, but he returned to the state within weeks.....lured by the endless US gravy train---cashing govt checks under several identities.

Uber-libeal Massachusetts is one of the many states that went Republican----and here's a few reasons why.

MASSACHUSETTS TAXPAYERS WERE UNKNOWINGLY FORCED TO FINANCE THE TSARNEV BROTHERS' DIRTY DEEDS BIGTIME ---After the Boston bombing, Massachusetts Democrat Gov Deval Patrick refused to divulge info WRT massive public assistance to the bomber killers/Chechen immigrants.

But state welfare officials were forced to come clean 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--the bombers' 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.

Multiple state agencies, on orders from Democrat Gov Patrick, refused to comment on the bomber brothers' welfare haul.

<><> 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 Obamaphones.

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

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

Benefits for entire family of bombing suspects likely exceeded $100k
WCRB ^ | 4/29/2013 | By Janet Wu / FR Posted by Alistair Stratford IV

BOSTON — State lawmakers have launched an investigation into whether the suspects in the Boston bombings improperly received public benefits. The House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight is reviewing hundreds of documents collected from state agencies that may have provided benefits to the suspects or their families since 2002.

Sources who have seen the 500 pages of documents sent to the House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight told News Center 5 that the entire Tsarnaev family, including:

(1) the two bombing suspects' parents (mother absconded--wanted for shoplifting),

(2) the two suspects themselves,

(3) their trouble-making sisters (one arrested for bomb threats),

(4) the widow of the suspect killed, and,

(5) their child.

Could also include benefits for their Chechen "student" pals who tampered w/ bombing evidence (one is now in jail, the other going to trial).

The Chechen cabal received "every conceivable public benefit available out there." (Excerpt) Read more at wcvb.com ...

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

NTL REVIEW/BY DAVID HANSON----The Tsarnaev brothers offer us a teachable moment about what has become near-suicidal US immigration policies. The sap-happy government cannot assure the public that it is now enforcing immigration laws already on the books,

(1) that foreign nationals must at least avoid criminal activity,

(2) that foreigners must stay off public assistance,

(3) that the US govt is disinclined to grant "asylum" (means a free ride on the US gravy train and endless SS payments) to “fearful refugees” from violence-prone regions,

(4) on-the-book govt mandates that force struggling taxpayers to foot the bill for the refugees to go back and forth between America and their supposedly hostile homelands on the taxpayers' dime.

The least we could do would be to sterilize illegals that come here to take us over.

How can non citizens be eagerly awaiting something that has to be paid for by the taxpayers whom do not want the issue to be a given for illegal aliens - it is not immigration when they are here illegally, it is called a crime. Immigration is where you enter a country through legal means, obtain the proper documentation and abide by the laws. Illegal immigration is a crime punishable by deportation.

Without the power of the vote illegal aliens cannot win. The law, the courts, and the people will trump the pressures of the illegal immigration lobby. The people are prepared to defend America from this invasion too.

But they have the power of the vote.

Their motto: "I'll gladly vote for you Tuesday, for an amnesty today"

My wife and I will be starting the LEGAL immigration process shortly. I had better not have *ANY* trouble, given how lenient the state and federal immigration authorities are being with those who didn’t wait in line.
