I don't want the refugees here either, but weren't our ancestors refugees? Guess it serves us right to be taken over the same way the native americans were.

No they weren't. they were on tourist visas and their mom was seeking asylum. Not that it makes any difference really

Please don't confuse the narrow minded with facts. They only believe what they hear on FOX news.

Actually my source was the Washington Post...oddly enough since yesterday they have now updated their original story that they published on April 19, 2013. It now says they were not refugees. I guess I should believe what the liberal news tells me huh?

My ancestors who legally immigrated to the USA were not GIVEN food, housing, medical care, etc., all paid for by US taxpayers. In fact, to take any kind of handout was a matter of shame to be avoided completely.

they were patsies John B Wells has a you tube of some amazing before and after and security film that has been put together ...at first I was a skeptic ..but come on who trusts Obama and Holder about a single thing?--they want your guns so they can turn you into refugees too

Right 7:29, when most of our ancestors migrated here they were not refugees but migrants. They willing paid to leave their homeland with the intent of never returning. Refugees by definition return to their country as soon as they are able. The government needs to completely stop the freebee train and return that job to the charities who do it so much more efficiently (NOT the Clinton Foundation!).

A big FYI for those who are saying the Boston Bombers weren't refugees. Maybe you all need to start listening to FoxNews since it's obvious that brains aren't a strong point with you all. Maybe some of the intelligence of the FoxNews viewers will rub off. God knows you all need it!

When you are admitted in the US with asylum status it means that you have fit the definition of a refugee among other qualifying factors. This was the parents. You apply for asylum and are granted refugee status.
The Tsarnaev brothers as well as a sister were "invited in" the US to join parents via tourist visas so they could, and where they did, claim asylum. And again IN ORDER TO CLAIM ASYLUM YOU *******MUST****** MEET THE DEFINITION OF A REFUGEE.
At least one (the youngest brother) eventually became a naturalized citizen. This happened faster than usual BECAUSE citizenship is expedited when someone is granted refugee status.

It's all semantics and a play on words and definitions but the fact IS without any doubts the Tsarnaev bros. were here as refugees.

Big difference between then and now. Then people came here for a better life and make our country strong. Now people come here to destroy us.

9:26 is correct. In order to claim asylum one of the factors is you must meet the definition of a refugee. The Tsarnaev's had to be refugees (the govt's definition) before applying for asylum.
If anyone followed the trial of Dhokhar his own lawyer said he was granted asylum and became a citizen. The lawyer went on to say that it was only because of this betrayal to his adopted country was the death penalty being sought.

Copied directly from the US Dept of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Yes, if you are claiming asylum it means you are a refugee! Now maybe you dumb dumb dummies will start listening to Fox and stop gulping down the liberal propaganda being shoved down your throats by the shovelfuls.
The Boston Bombers WERE refugees and there are NO if's and's or but's about it no matter how anyone tries to spin it!


Refugees

Refugee status is a form of protection that may be granted to people who meet the definition of refugee and who are of special humanitarian concern to the United States. Refugees are generally people outside of their country who are unable or unwilling to return home because they fear serious harm. For a legal definition of refugee, see section 101(a)(42) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

You may seek a referral for refugee status only from outside of the United States. For more information about refugees, see the “Refugees” section.
Asylum

Asylum status is a form of protection available to people who:

Meet the definition of refugee
Are already in the United States
Are seeking admission at a port of entry

This copied from a May 20, 2013 Wash Post article titled---- "Senate panel drafting immigration bill agrees to more changes prompted by Boston bombing"

Graham introduced the amendment after investigators discovered that Boston bombings suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev had traveled last year to Russia and Dagestan after his family sought and was granted asylum from Dagestan in 2002."


"after his family sought and WAS GRANTED asylum!" This means they were refugees. So stop saying they weren't refugees. It only serves to prove how grossly uninformed, pathetically low information and utterly ignorant you are when you state the Boston bombers were not refugees. Don't listen to what obama says, the liberal media or any democrat as they are all nothing but lying trash not worthy to breath the same air as decent American people.

it's the Globalists who label the invading hoard refugees .. look at how apartheid was eliminated ..and how Israel was populated ...they went there en masse

and it's the globalist leaders put in play by Puppet masters who are telling us it is our problem that they desire a one government world

Better turn off CNN also with regards to this issue. In addtion, ignore the appointments by Obama who disagree with him.

Well I was going to say that yes they were refugees because the whole family was granted asylum and you have to be a refugee for that but others beat me to it. I know this because I read extensively about this and the trial including verbatim quotes by both sides and it was said numerous times by both about the asylum and refugee status of the family and the brother on trial. It was even brought out why the older dead brother was able to travel to the country he left since he had been granted asylum and claimed to be a refugee. The mother too.

I commend the F.B.I. and Homeland Security. The work must be crazy with all these potential suspects on our soil. It appears we are ahead of the curve for now. If we add hundreds of thousands of new potential threats how do we stay ahead of the threat. Also a shout out to the C.I.A.for killing as many of these bastards you can before they reach our soil.

Treason should be punished by public hanging. Any act against the citizens of the United States on our soil should be dealt with by death.

Freedom has never been free people.
