So you can't become a citizen if you've been arrested for domestic violence

[undeterred]

but a United States States Senator can refer to women as "vaginas".

Strange country we live in.

1. I think it's the younger brother

who became a U.S. citizen. I'm not sure if the older brother did.

2. It was the older brother that was arrested for domestic violence, he was denied citizenship.

It was the younger brother that was a nationalized citizen in 2011 or 2012.

6. 9/11/2012

Creepy coincidence, actually.

[undeterred]

3. Older brother was denied because of domestic violence episode.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev got a green card in 2007, and became a naturalized United States citizen on Sept. 11, 2012, officials said. Tamerlan was denied citizenship after he was involved in a domestic-violence episode, his father said.

4. Not strange. Domestic violence is a crime, but using misogynist languge is free speech. nt

5. convicted I believe and your comparison is silly beyond description

and the guy who made the "vaginas" comment is not a U.S. Senator. Hell, he's not even a state senator. He's one of 400 state reps in NH.

and yes, he can refer to women as vaginas. It's called the 1st amendment. but that doesn't mean he gets away with saying scott free. ridiculed and shamed coast to coast.

7. If you're born here, it's okay to be a misogynist, woman-beating asshole.

But apparently that privilege is not extended to foreign nationals desiring to become citizens.

8. what nonsense. Is woman-beating legal? why no.

what do you want? to yank citizenship from misogynists?
