Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Family Received Welfare
Weekly Standard ^ | 4-24-2013 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 04/24/2013 4:49:45 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was on welfare, sponsored by tax payers. Tsarnaev, now dead, is suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon last week.

"Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned," reports the Boston Herald.

"State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev’s attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam — was working up to 80 hours a week as a home health aide while Tsarnaev stayed at home.

"In addition, both of Tsarnaev’s parents received benefits, and accused brother bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan were recipients through their parents when they were younger, according to the state."

The federal government has become the biggest enemy of the concept of a free and united States imaginable.

Do you think anyone up there in Boston (or anywhere else, for that matter) would have been outraged over the public assistance given to these @ssholes if they hadn't detonated two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon last week?

AC, every single denizen of FR is OUTRAGED at welfare in general. Look at the growth of food stamps, welfare, and sloth under Obomber. It is single most corrosive agent that eats away at a Free Republic of men. It saps men of dignity, honor and self-respect. It creates strong resentment of the hand that feeds you and creates and sustains a permanent lower-class.

You are wrong as possibly can be.

I’m pretty sure AC was directing his outrage at the Bostonians who would have had no problem with them receiving welfare.

Worse, welfare denigrates those that actually work, even at menial jobs. Making them feel like fools. All work is noble.

Is his wife Katherine still a US citizen??? In the old days she would have forfeited her citizenship when she married a foreigner. Didn’t she intend to go with her husband over to live in Chechnya???

No way that they financed those cars on welfare. They were either involved with some illegal drug activity or getting financed by some foreign entity. There is an extensive Chechen mafia that is intertwined with the islamist faction in that country.

And that's probably another fabrication -- his boxing prowess -- his intention to box for the US Olympic team.

Yeh right. And Trayvon Martin wanted to be an airline pilot!!!

How can someone work 80 hours a week? Sounds like bull to me she looked pretty good not like she was all worn out. That's a lie to distract from the financing of these killers.

This country is Hellbent on national suicide. Open our borders, let every manner of terrorist, criminal and deadbeat in. Then offer them Welfare so that hard working, taxpaying Americans can support them while they loaf, commit crimes and ultimately commit terrorist acts. I reall can’t understand how anyone could support or justify opening our borders to this scum and then giving them Welfare. Yet that is what bot Democrats and Republicans at the national level are supporting.

I agree. I would like to know if the Saudis that Glen Beck has been talking about, the ones that caused the Saudi ambassador to have 2 emergency meetings with Obama at the WH, I wonder if they were giving them $$$$ for terror plots?

I once heard that MA pays more unemployment benefits and welfare than any other state. The figure that I recall for unemployment is $800 per week. It doesn’t sound right, but that’s what I remember. Of course, as an octogenarian, my memory is sometimes suspect.

The Left may be right once,

“Hardworking immigrants” doing the work Americans don’t want to.
