One of the Chechen terrorists who carried out the Boston Marathon bombings should have been deported years ago after a criminal conviction, as called for by U.S. immigration law.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old killed in a wild shootout with police, was a legal U.S. resident who nevertheless should have been removed from the country after a 2009 domestic violence conviction, according to a Judicial Watch source.
That means the Obama administration’s DHS division missed an opportunity to deport Tsarnaev, but did not abide by Federal immigration law and let him stay. Tsarnaev was given this special treatment, despite not having any spouse, children or dependent elder parents that he would normally have needed as “mitigating factors” in his favor.
It is an especially remarkable oversight, as his crime was committed in his first several years in the country – a more egregious violation by an immigrant. Tsarnaev came to the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2006. U.S. immigration law is clear on this subject:
Conviction of a crime involving “moral turpitude” during the first five (5) years after being admitted to the U.S. carries a penalty of deportation. “Moral turpitude” crimes include theft crimes such as burglary and possession of stolen property, or violent crimes such as assault and battery. Even if a legal resident was not sentenced to jail time, they are deportable if the crime committed could have resulted in a sentence of one year or more in jail.
Failure to enforcement immigration law against violent criminals has become a disturbing pattern during the Obama Administration. In Obama’s first 3 years alone, thousands of criminal illegal aliens were released from detention – with thousands of crimes being committed by the aliens as a result – including 19 murders and 142 rapes.
This is why SWA has always said we do not have a “broken immigration system”, but rather a broken deportation system – and never worse than under this Administration. As with the other victims of Obama’s detainee releases, had DHS followed the law and deported Tsarnaev, four people would still be alive today.
The failure to deport Tsarnaev is especially stunning given the long history of Chechen Muslim terrorism, which one would expect would subject any Chechens granted refugee status to enhanced observation by immigration authorities.
In 1995, al Qaeda setup a camp in Chechnya—ordered by Osama bin Laden—to train “international terrorists” to carry out plots against Americans and westerners.
In 2004 Chechen Islamic militants attacked a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, Russia and they murdered 380 children, parents, teachers and visitors after holding more than 1,000 captive for three days.
In 2004, U.S. security officials released a report that a group of 25 Chechen terrorists illegally entered the United States from Mexico. There’s no telling how many of these Chechen terrorists have infiltrated the United States or how many opportunities the government has missed to protect the country by deporting them.
Good, she/he is a real zero!!
All conservatives know that gun control is not about safety but about tyranny.
All conservatives know that DHS and TSA is not about safety, but about tyranny. You only think the non-deportation of criminal immigrants is a mistake or oversight if you are liberal or among the tiny handful of conservatives duped into believing that the government is actually doing things for safety reasons, rather than tyranny and control.
How many of the 9/11 hijackers had overstayed their VISAs. Laws are to control the law abiding and enforce the coming totalitarian socialist regime.
Then there is political correctness shoved down our throats by our socialist overlords and their brain-dead liberal supporters.
We have no nation left to save.
Pray to God and apologize to your children.
Homeland Security is a worthless bunch of Obama goons. His Palace Guard. They serve no other purpose.
All the bad guys are caught by local LEA and by State Police. FBI and CIA are of some value.
Homeland Security is valueless.
The regime finds chechen terrorists living in AMerica to be useful, hoping they will ‘hook up with white people aiming to terrorize America don’tchaknbow! NEVER trust ANYTHING this regime feeds to you through their complicit media. Democrips have used murder of alive unborn children to empower their agenda for deacdes. Do we really eblieve they would not use known terrorists in the USA to further their agenda? No, they don’t necessarily hire these terrorists, but knowing they are here and knowing they plan a bombing gives the regime a chance to try and tie these bombers to domestic enemies like Christians and Tea Partiers ... if they can. They know the media will feed US whatever they tell them to air, so how do we stop these criminal anti-American-people thugs? we start by not swallowing their koolaid!
Yep, she’s still alive.
Today, everything is about the 2 brothers from Chechnya. So, has anybody explained why the “person of interest” who is being deported back to Saudi A., why they were at the Boston Marathon then caught running from the scene of the crime?
How was he involved in this?
Who else was involved and how widespread is this?
This will be swept under the carpet as 2 nutjob immigrants and we will never be told about the rest of the structure behind the bombing.
This should leave a mark.
Memo to the millions who say, “Just enforce the laws we already have...”
This is from a Washington Post article. So lets blame Putin and Yeltsin...or maybe that's the kind of methodology which needs to be employed whenever Islamists want their own shiite-hole independence and sharia.
- He’s one of a million domestic batterers.
- Will take hours of paperwork and public funds to deport him.
- He has appeals rights through which he can probably string this out through the courts for 3 to 10 years.
- At the and of all that we may get a deportation order but no country that is willing to take him.
For all those reasons they likely just stuck him in the circular file.
You’re right - seems the terrorist was an Obama backer... and most likely a Democrat. I’m ever so sure the Washington Post and New York Times will NOT cover this.
The MSM and CNN would have if the terrorists had been Republican and had backed Bush.
Liars have so many ways to lie.
90 percent of those in D.C. should be arrested for intentionally failing to protect our borders and actually aiding and abetting this epic violent costly on-going illegal invasion into the United States.
In addition, legal immigration into the U.S. should have been substantially reduced and a 10 year moratorium should have been enacted years ago.
All legal immigration from countries such as Mexico where their citizens defecate on our laws and rules should be immediately stopped for a period of years.
Immigration from Muslim countries should also be immediate halted.
Enough is enough!
I agree.
On the downside Homeland Security’s Janet Napolitano knew nothing about about Boston before it happened...she was useless in protecting us. On the upside she knows what kind of chewing gum conservatives chew... Janet’s focus is on finding and exposing Obama’s political enemies. That’s creepy. Honest conservative citizens are sick of being treated like criminals. She needs to step down.
We are being destroyed from within, no doubt about it.

Obama talks about saving children, but if he had done his job, Martin Richard would be alive today.
Let’s see if DHS can atone for their error by deporting every member of the terrorists’ family and circle of friends.
Maybe Barry’s uncle Onyango Obama, the illegal alien, Boston liquor store manager, DUI felon, pulled some strings to get this nice Chechen boy off.
