DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV: Just Another DREAMer? Should We Be Bringing in More Potentially Like Him?
The Tsarnaev familywas a ridiculously dysfunctional bunch,with few marketable skills, a history of run-ins with the law, including domestic violence, 9/11 trutherism, and just general aggravated mopery. Both parents sought psychiatric treatment, and the two future pressure-cooker bomb makers were enthusiastic and frequent pot smokers. And the whole lot were able to take advantage of our generous “social safety net”. According to the Boston Herald, they received over $100,000 in government benefits, including Section 8 housing and food stamps. Their four children all attended public schools, although only two of them graduated from high school. You see, as “refugees,” they were “entitled” to these benefits. Doug Giles | #ClashDaily
