Couple mental illness with not being properly prepared, and there could be some bad things happen. As far as helping immigrants be productive rather than destructive, that's more on the immigrant than on us. If we're going to have to roll over and give everything to them so they don't go postal, well, let them go postal, and then they'll be taken care of for the rest of their lives (which won't likely be very long). I know you didn't say we had to give then everything. For some, though, that might be what it takes. And, I'm certainly not in favor of that. A thought just struck me: I oppose giving in to a party that threatens with violence unless the party gets it's way. Then, it hits me, that's all the Federal Government does; it threatens violence against those who aren't obedient to it. That's some fucked up shit right there. the mental thing was just with one brother tho, not both.. and I am not of the opinion that those "voices" told the older brother to bomb people, I think it was the whole extreme religious thing combined with not getting what he wanted (to be a boxing champ/Olympic contender).. What? He coulda been a contenda? [:D] quote:
and after reading the link Angelika posted.. the parents are (from the accounts) blatant liars, telling various stories of why they came to the US (and somehow getting asylum even tho there was no evidence of their claims to qualify).. imo they came cuz they thought they would get rich and have it easy.. from that link- “"there is still another account of why the Tsarnaevs wanted to go to America, and it, too, has nothing to do with persecution. "We watched all these films, saw how beautiful Hollywood was,” said Nurmenov. “It seemed that life was good there. [Anzor] told me, ‘Let’s go to America. Why should we sit here and rust?’ One day I found out that he was going away. He said, ‘You can get a visa to America. It’s easy.’ And then later he left.” " So when they found out it wasn't that easy, they turned on their adopted country (cuz they needed to put the blame for their collective failures on something instead of looking in the mirror).. And I am not saying immigrants should be given everything on a silver platter but I am not sure what is actually available to those that have language and culture differences as a major barrier.. At this point, I think even if everything possible had been given to this family, they still would have been ungrateful failures with the same results (unfortunately).. The majority of immigrants aren't like them, but now what this family of nutbars have done means legit refugees and immigrants have it a lot harder to qualify for a visa.. Now, if only we could easily discern the Almond Joys from the Mounds, we'd be all set. The Visa situation was fucked up before the Tsarnaev's, and they certainly didn't help it. This should serve as fodder in the case against completely open borders.
