State: Marathon bomb suspects’ family received welfare, food stamps
Boston Globe ^

Posted on 04/26/2013 8:29:24 AM PDT by outpostinmass2

The family of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the two brothers accused in the Boston Marathon bomb attacks, received food stamps and welfare when the brothers were growing up, according to a letter from the state Department of Transitional Assistance that was obtained by the Globe.

In the letter, sent Thursday to the chairman of the House Post Audit and Oversight Committee, the department outlined the benefits that the brothers had received through their parents, Anzor and Zubeidat, as well as benefits Tamerlan Tsarnaev later received as a member of his wife’s household.

Anzor and Zubeidat received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, commonly known as food stamps, from October 2002 to November 2004, when Dzhokhar would have been about 8 to 10 years old and Tamerlan 15 to 17. The family also received them from August 2009 to December 2011, according to the letter.

Anzor was also a Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children grantee from January 2003 to March 2003, and again from August 2009 to June 2010.

Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children is a state and federally funded program that provides cash assistance to families with children and pregnant women, according to the letter. The program is commonly known as welfare.

The Tsarnaev parents were eligible for benefits as legal non-citizen residents with asylum status who met the basic eligibility criteria, which include household income levels and dependent children, according to the letter. The Tsarnaev brothers were both in the country legally.

Tamerlan’s wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, also received food stamps and welfare benefits from September 2011 to November 2012, according to the letter.

Neither Tamerlan, who was 26 when he died last week, nor Dzhokhar, who is 19, ever directly received welfare or food stamps, according to the letter.

I would like to know who paid for their tickets back and forth to the USA.

Aid to Dependent Children [ADC] paid for his trips to and from Russia with Love.

His wife during that time was a mother with child without a father living in the household and entitled to ADC benefits.

Yep, welfare encourages people not to work because if you earn over a certain amount, the government starts reducing your welfare benefits.

September 2012: Dzhokhar gets his citizenship. He could then legally buy, possess and travel with long guns. This gave Tamerlan access to the same guns and they could both train with guns. Could they risk possessing or traveling with guns prior to this, if say they were stopped for a traffic infraction and the cop smelled weed? No! Tamerlan wasn’t a citizen.

October 2012: Mom flees the country for native Chechnya rather than show up to court for felony shoplifting chargers. (No, she didn’t offer her hand be chopped off like a pius Muslim might)

November 2012: Tamerlan’s wife flees the State with the child to move back with the parents and takes the welfare/food stamp benefits with her.

She was still living in Cambridge with the terrorist. There are pictures of her going to her Cambridge home to pick up her belongings after the arrests.

An interesting tidbit:

Michelle Malkin: America's Insane Asylum for Jihadists, Hustlers and Frauds
Creators Syndicate | April 24, 2013 | Michelle Malkin FR Posted by jazusamo

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon killing spree by foreign-born jihadists, see-no-evil bureaucrats in Washington are stubbornly defending America's lax asylum policies. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano told the Senate Tuesday that the screening process is rigorous, effective and extensive.

These people can't handle the truth. Or tell it.

The Tsarnaev brothers reportedly were granted "asylum by derivative" status through their parents. After entering on short-term tourist visas, the mother and father (an ethnic Chechen Muslim) won "asylum" and acquired U.S. citizenship.

Next, younger son Dzhokhar obtained U.S. citizenship. Older son Tamerlan, whose naturalization application was pending, traveled freely between the U.S. and the jihad recruitment zone of Dagestan, Russia, last year before the bombers' gunfight in Watertown, Mass., last week left the Muslim terrorist dead.

Though they had convinced the U.S. that they faced deadly persecution, the Tsarnaevs' parents both returned to their native land and were there when their sons launched last week's terror rampage. Authorities will not reveal any details of the sob stories the Tsarnaevs originally spun to win asylum benefits for the entire family.

The whole thing stinks. And it's an old, familiar stench. Immigration lawyers have been working the system on behalf of asylum con artists for decades. The racketeers coach applicants with phony stories and documents from "chop shops" and game their way through "refugee roulette."

Asylum and refugee claimants are being rubber-stamped at all-time-high rates. Government data analyzed by the nonpartisan TRAC website show that "the odds of an asylum claim being denied in Immigration Court reached an historic low in FY 2012, with only 44.5 percent being turned down.

Ten years ago, almost two out of three (62.6 percent) individuals seeking asylum lost their cases in similar actions. Twenty years ago, fewer than one out of four (24 percent) asylum...(Excerpt) Read more at creators.com ...

Many people are asking how the Boston bomber brothers lived lavishly, drove luxury cars, and had leisure time and money to buy and build deadly bombs...with no visible means of support. Monthly welfare check would not suffice---they had to have several other sources of income.

A look at Tamerlan's reading list on Amazon 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 "

The mother is returning and was promised she wouldn’t be arrested.

You’d think the Russian’s would be making there life miserable, but then, if the attack wasn’t against them, maybe they would just rather lay low -not temped retribution from other Chechens.

HERE'S HOW THE TWO RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS were funding their lavish lives---and munition purchases--on your dime. Russian emigres to the US claiming "asylum" receive a panoply of US freebies: they suck off American taxpayers bigtime---they collect generous monthly checks from SS without having put a dime into it.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old Chechen terrorist killed Friday morning in a wild shootout with Boston police, was a legal US resident. He could have been sent back to his homeland after a 2009 domestic violence conviction (wasn't his wife--the bum hit his grlfriend).

BUT thanks to Obama’s sucking up to ethnic solidarity terrorism, the prez sap-happily decreed that "deportations" are limited only to foreigners who committed “serious crimes”----Obama allowed the bomber to stay and do his dirty work.

The second bro/bomberDzhokhar Tsarnaev--now in a Boston hospital---was granted "asylum" in 2002.


After the murder of the MIT police officer, which occurred after the marathn bombings, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rode in a carjacked auto. The murderous two then casually stopped at an ATM to withdraw cash.

The Chechneyan brothers did not seem to be "needy"----they were well-fed, attired in fashionable clothing---had cash in the bank---- and time and money to purchase components and make bombs. Traveled to Russia---(and elsewhere?) All without any visible means of support---like jobs.

There's a zillion ways the Chechneyan bombers were being financed by the same unsuspecting Bostonians they plotted asgainst....and other Americans. You can be sure the Brothers Tsarnaev knew the routine. Probably bought fake ID's to establish multiple identites to ride the US gravy train.

Claiming "asylum from Russian persecution" gets tham a wealth of tax-paid freebies---no questions asked----a policy dating back to WW 11. There's large SS checks, housing subsidies, instant welfare, food stamps, UI, EITC, SSI, education payments, free medical care.....and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

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

HOW MANY IDENTITIES AND FORGED DOCUMENTS DID THE BOMBER BROTHERS USE TO RIDE THE US GRAVY TRAIN? Check out Tamerlan's reading material here.....w/ the emphasis on forging identities.

I think that someone is paying the crazy bitch to get on TV and spew her bull crap..She looks like the kind of woman that would sell her soul to the devil for a few pieces of silver..

Let her keep it up maybe she will scare other Muslims to come over here for us to take care of..Also maybe the Mexicans illegals might be watching her..

Here’s how the liberal ‘system’ works to prop up criminals... and how liberals protect killers and rapists. This lowlife raped a 70 year old woman then tried to hire a hit man to kill the woman and her daughter before his trial.

HE TOLD THE HIT MAN HE WOULD PAY WITH SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY HE WAS GOING TO RECEIVE. CONSIDERING HIS AGE THAT MEANS ‘DISABILITY’...

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK PROPPING UP THE CRIMINAL CLASS SO THEY’LL VOTE 93% DEMOCRAT.
