Why is she allowed to serve in Congress?
Rep. Ilhan Omar Represents Everything Wrong With America’s Immigration System
By: John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist, January 30, 2024
Immigration and border policy should first serve the interests of Americans, to the exclusion of all other peoples and nations.
There’s a clip going around of Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar talking to a group of Somalians about her allegiances and priorities as a U.S. congresswoman. What Omar says is instructive, not just about her general worldview but mostly (and more importantly) about how backward and destructive our immigration system is.
Omar is a woman of the left, but her speech over the weekend was pure blood-and-soil nationalism — for Somalia, not America.
She tells them she’s a Somalian first and a Muslim second. She doesn’t even mention the United States or her citizenship here. She promises to use her power and influence in Congress to protect her nation’s interests. (Again, that nation being Somalia, not America.)
Speaking in Somali, Omar tells the cheering crowd that her “top priority” is to expand Somalia’s territory. “As Somalis, one day we will go after our missing territories,” she says, referencing disputed regions in Kenya and Ethiopia.
She brags that the U.S. government “will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders, and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia. We Somalians must have the confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the U.S.”
Ilhan Omar, an American congresswoman, tells Somalians that she is Somalian first, Muslim second, and… [no, American wasn’t even mentioned].
Oh, and she says that her primary job in Congress is to protect Somali interests. pic.twitter.com/ex5IlkAkR2

In light of Omar’s candidness, it’s fair to ask: Why is she allowed to serve in Congress? Why is she even allowed to remain in the United States? Omar is an immigrant and a U.S. citizen, but clearly she is not an American. She appears to have no allegiance to her adopted country — a country that took her in, sheltered and protected her, provided a safe haven from the chaos and violence of her homeland, and elevated her to a position of power and influence.
Omar herself is of course an antisemite and a radical leftist. Her remarks are only important because they illustrate how her presence in the United States is a searing indictment of our entire immigration system and much of our foreign policy over the last 40 years. We should never have allowed people like her into our country, and by “people like her” I don’t have race in mind. I mean people whose national allegiances lie with other lands and other people, and whose priorities and way of life are incompatible with American republicanism and our national character.

How can Biden literally do EVERYTHING WRONG?
Biden promotes posthumously two of the three soldiers killed as a result of his own malfeasance and utter, categorical, catastrophic FAILURE.
What about the other soldier?
The three most terrifying words in the English language are: “Biden has decided…”

Not only that, but they are also a lie as he doesn’t decided anything. But in dc, why would they be anything but.

She epitomises the need for the Second Amendment

I have run across this article about Ilhan Omar from other websites. My response is she is a United States congress person. As a congress person she is supposed to represent her congressional district and the United States. She is not supposed to represent Somalia. She should be expelled from the United States congress. Her naturalized United States citizenship should be revoked. And she should be deported back to Somalia where she belongs.

There should be NO “Somalies” in this Republic ….. starting with Omar.
She is a Traitor to the Republic, a criminal, and must be dealt with appropriately.

Fire her instantly and try her for Treason NOW. How can this shit be part of our great country. We took her from the hell hole she came from and this is what she does for America. Back in her hell hole she would have the shit slapped out of her. She forgets what it was like and is an UNGREATFUL bitch.
