Boston Bomber Passed Citizenship Test Shortly Before Attack
Posted On 29 Feb 2016
According to a bombshell new report from the Boston Globe, terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who joined his brother in killing three people and injuring 260 others at the 2013 Boston Marathon, was on the verge of becoming a U.S. citizen when he launched the attack. Federal immigration records show that only three months before the bombing, Tsarnaev passed a citizenship test.
The Globe:
On Jan. 23, 2013, immigration officer David McCormack interviewed Tsarnaev and tested his English and knowledge of US history and government. He answered six civics questions correctly to pass: He knew that Africans had been slaves, that there are 27 constitutional amendments, and that the United States bought Louisiana from the French in 1803. He also identified “Joe Biden” as the vice president, said Congress makes federal laws, and that the colonists fought the British over “high taxes.” He correctly read a question about voting and wrote the answer: “Citizens can vote.”
According to the records, obtained by the paper after years of Freedom of Information Act requests, there wasn’t much standing between Tsarnaev and his citizenship. Having passed the test, Tsarnaev only needed to get a supervisor’s approval and he would be ready for the swearing-in ceremony.
Homeland Security released a statement in response to the release, defending their screening process. “US Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) commitment to national security is shared inside and outside of the Department of Homeland Security,” said the statement. “While USCIS found no errors in the processing of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s or [friend and possible accomplice] Ibragim Todashev’s applications, we are always seeking to strengthen our very intensive screening processes.
Yes, the same intensive screening processes responsible for granting a marriage visa to Tashfeen Malik, the woman who went on to kill 14 people in San Bernardino. It’s obvious that our government is really on top of things.
See, this is the kind of story that might help people understand why so many Americans support Donald Trump’s call for a moratorium on Muslim immigration. It’s not about “Islamophobia” or racism or whatever else his critics conclude. It’s rooted in two things: the painful incompetence of our security screening process and the clear link between Islam and terrorism. And until we can develop a foolproof way to determine whether or not we’re permitting extremists into the country, why should we take the chance? What benefit is there to our country?
I’m starting to wonder why we even have a Homeland Security Dept. These people seem more intent on letting in as many Muslims, and illegals that they no longer even pretend to do their jobs.
You can lay that directly at Obama, and the Democrats feet.
The GOP Leadership is complicit in enabling Obama’s treasonous agenda.
The U.S. government is mostly run by just five people: Barack Obama, Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, Paul Ryan, and Nancy Pelosi.
Last December, these five pushed through a horrible Omnibus spending bill to fund the government through next September that amounts to a betrayal of American voters, especially on immigration matters.
Where do I begin to condemn this? I’ll start with GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan.
It didn’t take long for Ryan to break all his promises on immigration, did it?
When he was running for Speaker two months ago, Ryan promised he would not bring up immigration bills that did not have the backing of a majority of Republican House Members.
Yet as soon as he got the chance, Ryan snuck several huge immigration giveaways into the Omnibus spending bill Congress approved.
It goes further:
»Nearly QUADRUPLES the number of H-2B low-skilled foreign workers allowed in this year. This could raise the total of these workers this year from 66,000 to 264,000.
Not only that…
»FUNDS a large increase in Syrian and other refugee resettlement in this country. Instead of a timeout and a full security review, Congress handed Obama everything he wants.
»FUNDS Obama’s catch-and-release policy that virtually stops deportations.
»FUNDS Sanctuary Cities, so that cities like San Francisco that refuse to turn over jailed illegal aliens to the feds will face no cut in funding.
»MAINTAINS tax credits to illegal aliens in the form of the Earned Income Tax Credit. That is, if a family is poor enough, they not only pay no income tax, the government pays THEM. Yes, that includes illegal aliens! Also, Congress continues to allow illegal aliens to claim child tax credits on their tax returns.
»FUNDS the continued relocation into America of the unaccompanied minors who are marching across the border into Texas and states. The numbers of these crossing the border is way up again this year.
Even with all these outrages I’ve mentioned, there are still MORE terrible things hidden in the Omnibus bill, which passed both the House and the Senate. A hopeful sign is that 95 House Republicans joined with 18 House Democrats, and 26 Senate Republicans joined with 6 Senate Democrats to vote NO on this monstrosity.
Yet, most Republicans and most all the Democrats voted yes, and it passed. Their complicity in this sell out is the real threat to the Constitution and Americans that want jobs and security.
………………..Trump, NOT Rubio in 2016
I suspect one reason why they seem to be so “incompetent” is because they are under the same pressure that the ICE agents who were told to stop catching illegal immigrants or trying to serve them with Notices to Appear in court — those poor people were told to either stop doing their jobs, or they were going to lose their jobs !!!
That is one thing that can be blamed on Geo. W. Bush. He used the 9/11 crime to push our country into a total police state with this out of control Homeland Security. I don’t dislike Bush, but I dislike the hell out of this new Gestapo he has created.
Our radicalized muslim in chief isn’t going to let anyone get in the way of the muslim crusades if he can stop it!
But he didn’t give up Sharia law. That is the heart of the Muslim problem!
I am amazed that anyone would be surprised at this. Exactly like Sarah Palin most “Americans would fail the test badly , while the greater percentage of foreigners would pass the test handily. Ignorance of their own country and it’s history is a hallmark of trump supporters as an example or for that matter most right wing radicals. They have so twisted and been twisted by idiots they no longer know the reality of being a US citizen.
….. just look at the 6 question test and you pass it, speak a little English and get vetted by your supervisor who is probably another “vetted” citizen…. obviously you are another who is a paper citizen and would claim Obummer as your “daddy”…. crawl back into your hole and pull it in behind you….. …… the best reasoning behind Trump supporters is that Trump is not a career politician and not held as a supporter of left wing radicals and liberals. Maybe our citizens have had enough of the professionals in congress and it is time to get rid of the professions and brings in some citizens who really give a damn about America and get rid of the walkin paper citizens and illegals…..
You Sir, have shared something online without checking facts and encouraged bullshit to be propagated, leading to the dumbing down of humanity. You also need to face the reality that not all right wing Christian Conservatives are radical terrorists who agree with you. Your diatribe being so wrong, your being a bigot has shown itself to be your singular motivation for supporting a showman who would destroy this nation in a week from the Oval Office.
If you were half as smart as you think you are, you would still be a half wit, oh sorry, I guess I didn’t check my facts, make that a full wit – sorry. Oh, also, you better check your facts, I have NEVER said or implied that right wing Christian Conservatives are radical terrorists, where do you get your information, obviously from the toliet and, may I add, we can’t get much more destroyed than your hero has done, that is unless HC makes the dive. If you could read I have not fond of Mr. Trump but, he is the best shot we have right now in the Republican field running and I won’t even comment about the Democrats. This Nation is on a very slippery slope and no one has a rope, so we will have to take the best of the worst. Have a nice day.
Hey asshat show me exactly where I said that you said that other asshats besides yourself are terrorists. I would greatly appreciate you sticking to the facts. Seems you have a problem discerning fact from the fiction of your delusional mind Copy paste it right here or shut up and sit down. While you are at it post the particulars of two plans of the best shot you think we have not including Mexico building a wall. Or once again shut up and sit down. You do know I am quoiting the guy who lately has been standing behind The moronic Trump. Finally I congratulate you for making any upbringing you did not have your ignorant behavior reflects on that and it is not good.
OK, conversation over, I see that I am dealing with a baiter, nothing – pro or con – WILL do anything but add fuel to your fire which is what you are all about. Go and converse with your morrow self, bye bye.
The two of you sound like the Cruz and Rubio debate of the other night. Give it a rest. Or…..agree to meet somewhere are take it to each other.
Ha Ha, this guy is a baiter, likes to stir the pot and sucks up the crap. Our conversation is over, I really have better things to do than entertain his activity. Have a great day.
Hmmm since you haven o response to my questions because you did post lies and inaccuracies you opt for the cowards retreat? You just keep revealing more and more about how much you lie. And how basically you are no good at anything but ignorant retortd
islam is NOT a religion of peace!!
islam is a sick and twisted terrorist ideology that is
completely incompatible with western civilization!!
Deport all muslims from the west at once!!
Ban all muslims from traveling to the west, …FOREVER
Trump is correct.
Implement muslim control, NOT gun control.
Gosh, Charlie, what did THEY (as in, I guess, anybody) DO to you to get you that angry? ‘Til you don’t even understand that a ban on Muslims (not an available option under current law) might well cause some conniving villans to claim they’re just poor oppressed Christian minorities from Iran or Syria, being granted legal status on an expedited basis, and then doing some terror op, 9/11 style?
Who gives a rats patoot, This guy is still alive and were still supporting his muslim skank a$$. Our borders are still pourous and they are still coming over in droves. That little cork sucker Rubio is for illegal immigration and Cruz the canadian born voted for amnesty. What in the hell are you people waiting on for them to start carting you off like Hitler did the Jews. A mexican and a cuban spouting how they are going to take care of our country. Its time for Obama to be tried and convicted for treason and put to death ASAP. If you havent noticed both parties are a part of this take over of our country. Now wake the hell up its time to go to war.
Waiting for the next shot heard around the world. It’s true, we’ve been sold out by both parties and it’s time to take our country back. Term limits after the purge, no lifetime free meals.
That POS in the white house needs to be the first to go and work our way down. Listening to them talk last night made me sick, Rubio is truly a suck ass to illegal immigration. Bad thing is…I’m worried trump will revert to his liberal ways…tigers don’t really change their stripes.
Revolt is probably the only way we’re going to get our country back.
They know more about this country than someone born here , They have to give up sharia law , Constitutional law is the law of this land !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
check out who obastard is about to make a judge in one of our courts
Do we have American cretins interviewing and allowing admission to Muslims who want to access the USA? How about we have IQ tests and common sense requirements for the interviewers?
I will bet you this most high school grads could not answer the same test he did just showing how truly stupid today’s youth aepre,and this includes college grads as well. That is truly a test any first timer should pass with little or no class work needed just have your cheat sheet with you. It’s no wonder there are so many new citizens here anymore. We by damn are loosing our country to foreigners as well as the communist liberals
They should never be allowed here. The Koran does not allow them to conform to our constitution.
I always wondered how American people would possibly be forced to take the wrong religion. Now I know. There will eventually be so many of them, they will all hold federal offices and the beheadings will begin.
Shame in our politicians!
