Three friends of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were arrested today for involvement after the attacks. From a Department of Justice press release [1]:

Dias Kadyrbayev, 19, and Azamat Tazhayakov, 19, both of New Bedford were charged in a criminal complaint with conspiracy to obstruct justice by conspiring to destroy, conceal and cover up tangible objects belonging to suspected Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, namely a laptop computer and backpack containing fireworks. A third man, Robel Phillipos, 19, of Cambridge, was charged with willfully making materially false statements to federal law enforcement officials during a terrorism investigation. According to the affidavit accompanying the complaint, Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov are both nationals of Kazakhstan who entered the United States on student visas. Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov face a maximum sentence of five years in prison and $250,000 fine. Phillipos faces a maximum sentence of eight years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Phillipos is a U.S. citizen, but Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov were here illegally. From peekURL.com/zXNY3rL :

It wasn’t until the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division heard about the interviews later on Saturday that they realized Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov were not currently of legal immigration status, and ICE officials went to pick them up and detain them.

The first US government official told CNN that at an immigration court hearing this morning, the court learned that Tazhayakov returned to Kazakhstan in December 2012, and his status with U. Mass-Dartmouth was terminated on January 3. Yet somehow he was allowed to return into the U.S. on January 20.

“They shouldn’t have let him in,” the first official told CNN. “Bells should have gone off.”

Obviously, they did. And, if they hadn't gotten caught they probably would have been amnestied by Marco Rubio's amnesty. If they'd kept up the terms of their student visas, Obama or Mitt Romney would have probably wanted to "staple a green card to their diplomas".

While it sounds like the three weren't involved in the bombing itself, they put their friendship with the younger Tsarnaev ahead of stopping terrorists. The Tsarnaevs and the two illegal aliens in the current case shouldn't have been allowed in the U.S. in the first place, but plenty more like them will be invited to come here by both the Democratic Party and the GOP.

See immigration terrorism for much more on these issues.

If you want to do something about this, contact Rubio's workers and make the point to them that any negative impacts Rubio's amnesty has will negatively affect their careers. Their contact information is here.
