Feds have no idea if/when Asylees like the Tsarnaevs leave the country, return to country that persecuted them

That is what a House Committee heard in testimony from the USCIS on Wednesday.  Thanks to a reader for alerting us to this story.

I assume this means that Mama Tsarnaev has now lost her asylum privileges and her welfare check!

From FierceHomelandSecurity:

When individuals granted asylum return to the country they’d fled, they can lose their asylum privileges-but only if U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services knows about it, the head of the agency’s asylum program said during a House hearing July 17.

Joseph Langlois, the associate director for refugee, asylum and international operations at USCIS, suggested that the agency would not have known that Tamerlan Tsarnaev–the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died in a gunbattle with police–traveled in 2012 to Russia, which his family had received asylum from.

Langlois told the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on national security that he couldn’t publicly discuss the Tsarnaev family in particular for confidentiality reasons. But he did speak in general terms about cases like that of Tamerlan.

When an asylee comes back to the United States after traveling abroad, Customs and Border Protection can alert USCIS about an asylee’s travel, he said.  [Gee, I wonder if they were alerted about Tsarnaev and did nothing—ed]

“We do have referrals from CBP. They are not great in number though,” Langlois said.

Additionally, those referrals only come from entries into the United States–Langlois said it was his understanding that USCIS has no knowledge when asylees depart for the country where they said they feared persecution.

The father of the Tsarnaev brothers reportedly applied for asylum after arriving in the United States legally, under a tourist visa, which would make him an affirmative asylum applicant. Individuals in removal proceedings, on the other hand, can apply for asylum defensively, at which point USCIS screens them for credible fear of persecution.

Asylum claims up 400% since Obama took office.

Langlois said the agency is on track to receive about 29,000 defensive applications this year–an increase of about 400 percent since 2009. He added though that there have been large fluctuations in applications, both defensive and affirmative, in recent years.

We have 25 previous posts on the political “refugees”, the Tsarnaevs, in our Boston Marathon bombing category.

Remember that those granted asylum get all the taxpayer-funded goodies that refugees get.

Political refugee Dzhokhar Tsarnaev indicted on 30 counts in Boston Marathon bombing

Surely you saw the news yesterday from Boston, but I thought I should post it just to keep our archives up to date and to remind readers that the Tsarnaev family came to live in the US as political refugees.  We gave this murdering Jihadist the opportunity for a good life and he decided that pleasing Allah by killing innocent Americans was a more important goal for him.

Additionally, I consider the failure of Homeland Security to identify these terrorists in advance, with all their fancy surveillance techniques, to be a greater scandal than many being heaped on the Obama Administration at the moment.

Here is one of many similar reports, this story is at US News/NBCThe evil US made him do it.  I checked several stories to see if they mentioned the fact that we gave his family asylum and they had been living off the generosity of the US taxpayer and didn’t see a thing.  NBC does mention the shooting practice in Manchester, NH (home of fellow Chechen “refugees”).

Tsarnaev can get life in prison or the death penalty, it’s up to Eric Holder.

CAIR wants Justice’s Civil Rights Division to investigate Todashev shooting

This is an update of the strange story out of Florida where the “friend” of Boston Bombing suspect, and a fellow asylee, Ibragim Todashev, was shot during an investigation involving the FBI which was looking into the unsolved murder of three Jewish young men in Boston.  Our original reporting on the phony Chechen political “refugee” is here (two previous posts).

Here is the Washington Post update.  The Council on American Islamic Relations is looking to the notoriously biased Civil Rights Division, that would be CAIR’s friend’s shop (Thomas Perez) to do a separate investigation.  Perez loves the Muslim Brotherhood too!

Can we also have a Justice Department investigation on how Todashev, and others like him! were granted asylum?

This is going to get interesting….

Investor’s Business Daily op-ed: Stop importing terrorists to US

Thanks to Jerry Gordon (New English Review) for sending this editorial from IBD in response to revelations about Chechen asylees-cum-killers in our midst.

There is one paragraph at the end I want to share with readers because I found it especially chilling.

Where are they?

According to DHS, there are 87 deportable alien fugitives from Kazakhstan still at large in the U.S. That’s in addition to the 50 from Afghanistan, 164 from Egypt; 101 from Iran; 94 from Iraq; nine from Libya; 384 from Pakistan; 79 from Somalia; 45 from Sudan; 77 from Yemen; and 126 from Saudi Arabia — a number that has almost doubled during the Obama administration.

And, consider that the Tsarnaevs were on no one’s removal list prior to April 15th.

Steve Sailer is all over the Chechen ‘refugee’ fraudsters

Steve Sailer writes at VDARE and elsewhere, including at his own blog iSteve.

From day one, when we first became aware of the fact that Chechen asylees were responsible for the first successful major Islamic terror attack on American soil since 9/11, Sailer has been on the story.

Chicks digged those Chechens. Go figure!

Here is a post from yesterday (hat tip Fjordman via Twitter) where Sailer pulls together the sorry tale of the lives (and deaths) of the  Tsarnaev-Todashev mixed martial artists—their lying to get into the US and their Muslim misogynist attitudes about women.  I think you will find it as informative (and amusing) as I do.

Tsarnaev-Todashev story has immigration fraud written all over it

Some excerpts here to encourage you to read the whole thing!

Sailer:

From the Boston Globe:

In 2008, the US government granted Todashev asylum, a protection granted to foreigners with a credible fear for their safety in their homelands ­because of religious, political, or other specific forms of persecution.

But Reuters reports that Todashev’s father is a government official in Grozny whose father is in tight with the All-Time Champ Chechen Ramzan Kadryov.

[….]

We hear a lot these days about immigrants’ “American Dream,” but the Chechen Dream appears to be to have some babe support you. Do you think these guys were big hip-hop fans back in the old country?

[….]

Why is it okay for various violent Chechens to just up and move to my country because they think it’s a better place to practice hurting people?

Good question!  Read it all, there are lots of still unexplained twists and turns in this story.
