Racist.
lhan Omar: Merit-Based Immigration “Racist” Towards Latino Community
By Gabrielle Seunagal, USA Herald, May 29, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Freshmen congresswoman Ilhan Omar has sparked controversy with new remarks. This time, the remarks in question center around merit-based immigration and the Latino community.
In a tweet which she has since deleted, Omar alleged that merit-based immigration is inherently racist towards Latinos.
Reviewing Omar’s Remarks on Merit-Based Immigration
Over the past few weeks, the Trump administration has furthered strides towards a merit-based immigration system. Such a system falls in line with the idea that those who emigrate to America ought to be able to support themselves independently and contribute accordingly.
Well, like most political matters, there are people who disagree with the notion of merit-based immigration. Very recently, Rep. Omar took to Twitter to express her concerns and subsequently slam the merit-based immigration system proposal as “racist.”
Although the congresswoman deleted her tweet, it’s still well-documented via screenshots and reposts.

Reactions to Omar’s Remarks on Merit-Based Immigration
Now, there are some very intense undertones within Omar’s tweet. The congresswoman essentially stated that the Latino community would struggle to thrive and compete within a merit-based immigration system. Ironically, this in and of itself, is a racist notion, despite the fact that Omar is making this statement to brand the Trump administration as racist.
GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, the son of a Cuban immigrant, pointed this out in response to Omar’s remarks:
As the son of a Cuban immigrant whose Dad came to get a math degree & become a computer programmer, I’m troubled that Dems seem to believe Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration. Bringing in more scientists, engineers & doctors is good for US jobs. https://t.co/iugniZgJtL

mmigration to the United States of America
Many people have stated that the real racists are those who see racism wherever they go. From a purely objective standpoint, merit-based immigration is not a racist policy. Immigration to the United States is a privilege, not a right. Furthermore, seeing as immigration is a privilege, nations which permit it have the right to enact various stipulations; this includes the United States.
Thus far, Omar has doubled down on her claims that merit-based immigration is racist to the Latino community. This is moreover evident upon reviewing the latest posts on her Twitter feed regarding this matter:
“Our research suggests that prejudice against Latinos is an important, if veiled, reason that some Americans advocate admitting primarily highly educated, highly skilled immigrants.”

Statements such as Omar’s are regularly viewed by conservatives as the soft bigotry of low expectations.

She should be removed from office…
she has a point. Most hipanocs won’t make it based on merit system. Lot of them are poorly educated, rapists, killers or low end workers
how about muzzies?
They are illegals not immigrants. True Spanish speaking asylum seekers are from Venezuela, Cuba. are many are highly educated. Merit based are folks, no matter where they’re from, will have something to offer for the privilege of moving here.
That should be our point, not hers…
She does it because she is using them as a convenient tool to bring the country down–her objective, following Obama’s example…
If we could apply a true merit-based system to members of Congress she WOULD be removed.
You need to start asking some questions: #1. How did her small obscure district become home to a majority Muslim population? #2. Who’s money made her candidacy possible?
Yesterday!
i look at the vietnamese boat people and how after 40 years those poor people, who didn’t have a dime and spoke no english when they were chased onto those wretched rafts in the south china sea, now have kids and grandkids who have thrived in this country, become wealthy, and are business leaders and highly paid professionals who have enriched this country. then i look at those who came here illegally across our southern borders, and see…..nothing. their kids and grandkids are gangbangers, illiterate, whining about racism, and on and on. there are significant differences between the races, and this country has every right to start deciding whether we want new americans to be vietnamese-types or mexican-types
Why do Muslims, like Omar, not speak out against slavery?
Because they apparently think the European slave trade was a “bad” thing but the Arab slave trade was a “good” one.
Why? Because she and the rest of those third-world “immigrants” are not here to assimilate…they’re here to take over the country. And they will with the help of the dims.
Never mistake the raw threat that Da’wa represents: it is a deadly warning that violent wars of conquest will follow if the targeted Kafir population does not submit.. Witness the “Arab Spring” if in doubt.. ~Hirsi Ali.
Why do you say “they will” ? What are you really saying when you say that? They won’t!
Because they were WHELPED from SWINE that were Fornicated by DOGS.
We dont need too many moslem cab drivers or the last muzzie counter girl I had the displeasure of dealing with. Completely stupid, worthless illegal moslem.
Not the brightest bulb in the hardware store, is she?
She’s in the burnt out filament bin.
She may be smarter than you think and, therefore very dangerous. Don’t underestimate an enemy agent, especially one whose salary you are paying…
…most probably but she is your hired rat, with a congressional salary, being paid by ‘guess who’.
Is she paraphrasing Mr Mackey? Latino’s are dumb, m’kay.
Omar believes minorities are TOO DUMB to compete on MERIT BASED IMMIGRATION!
For the most part, she is right….but I doubt a minority wants to hear that.
Keep blurting out what ever comes to mind Omar…. Piss everyone off!
Ilhan Omar again displays her bigotry. And the left (again) supports her and cheers her on!
Omar stuck her foot in her mouth again. Does she think Somalians have more merit than Latinos?
She’s an angry looking b**ch… and a bigot, a racist, and a misogynist. The left loves her because she’s just like them.
The left loves her becauseshe’s just like them she promotes their agenda.
UNFORTUNATELY WE GAVE HER THE PATH TO COME HERE. SHE IS THE MOUTHPIECE FOR ISLAM.
You can’t either.
And not even your brother/husband.
And exactly what merits do moslems have?
To the best of my knowledge, raping, murdering, torturing, stabbing, beheading, incest, car-ramming, lying, resource-draining, and thieving (to name but a few of their charming habits) aren’t considered meritorious by most people.
This, from an IQ and Character challenged ingrate, who brought her homeland laden insanity to MY country..
I have filmed this nut, up close and personal. She runs from my camera and audio equipment..
Omar is ‘Third World Political Trash’.. But then again, this is how it’s done back home in Somalia.. No surprises here..
She has enough IQ and character to force you to pay her to be here, as an enemy agent… $174,000 per…
PS… Anyone else committing any one of her multiple crimes would be in prison, for any one of many she has been involved with.. ..immigration fraud – perjury – welfare fraud – bigamy – polygamy – polyandry – FAFSA fraud – etc..
…Forgot to mention..
There are two outside (of Minnesota) well known legal organizations investigating Omar as we speak.
She needs to be removed from office not only because of her hatred & bigotry towards Americans but her close associations with groups like Cair & hamas
This little witch is an elected enemy operative in the U.S. Congress, who’s salary is being paid by the taxpayers. What a sad hateful mistake for a place called America.
Her racism is so ingrained in her that she doesn’t even realize how racist her statement is.
Hey SWINE, not our problem.
The irony of this Somali taking a shot at Latino’s not being smart enough for a merit based system is breathtaking.
Somalis are famous for having the lowest IQ ever. Does she really want to talk about Latinos’ intelligence?..Seeing as how unqualified she is for congress, she would never have been elected if it wasn’t for her district being littered with her fellow low IQ having cowardly Somali Countrymen.
