Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) discussed the immigration crisis on PRI's "The World." During the interview, Omar attempted to blame the Trump administration for Border Patrol and ICE's drained resources, as if the White House wants to see the border crisis taking place.
"We have to look at our immigration process through a humane lens and what this administration is doing really truly is inhumane and extremely unAmerican and it goes against our values," Omar said. "We're talking about people who are coming to our border, seeking asylum, and there's nothing illegal about seeking an asylum. We have an opportunity to use the resources that we have to properly process people and we have an administration that is hell-bent on making people seem as if they are breaking laws when they are just within the borders of what is allowed by international law."
Omar has her facts so wrong it's not even funny, but she is right about one thing. It's not illegal for people to seek asylum. But they're supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country they land in. For those who rode the caravan from Central America, the first safe country for them would be Mexico. Legally speaking, they should be seeking asylum in Mexico, not the United States. If they were truly worried about their safety, they would be focused on making a life for themselves in Mexico, not America.
That's not the goal though. These people want to come to the United States because they want to build a better life for themselves. They know the U.S. is the land of opportunity and they want a piece of that.
Don't be fooled though. Those who are flocking to our border aren't seeking asylum. They're not showing up to port of entries where asylum-seekers are required to enter. Border Patrol insiders have said these illegal aliens are walking across the border and turning themselves in to the first agent they see. They know about catch-and-release. They know the system is overwhelmed. They go through the process, ask to see an immigration judge, are given a court date and then they're dumped into America to never be seen again. After all, what incentive do they have to show up for court? They face the possibility of being deported. They're better off disappearing. It's like a pass.
Not only that but agents are seeing an influx in "exotics," those who are from non-Hispanic countries like Nepal, Senegal, Somalia and other areas in South Africa.
Our immigration crisis is no longer a matter of people fleeing for their lives and escaping a dangerous, tyrannical government and country. This is now everyone and everyone taking advantage of our broken immigration system as a means of obtaining the American dream.

How this America-hating Muzzie hag ever got into the Congress of the United States is frightening. Stupid, hateful and clearly NOT AN AMERICAN.
What is inhumane is the Libs/Dems/Progressives encouraging masses to come here ILLEGALLY.
This puts the illegal aliens in severe danger and many have died trekking through Mexico.
What is HUMANE is encouraging those masses to come LEGALLY.
Apparently the Somali practice of female genital mutilation can be bad for one’s mental health.
Muslims do not come here to assimilate but to conquer. They will engage in their warfare by trying to first destroy our trust in our government and then present a Caliphate and Sharia Law as a better alternative.
lol
You’re correct...There’s a legal process for asylum seekers but the RATs don’t encourage that process because they know 90% or more will be turned down.
The asylum laws have to be changed to eliminate the loopholes but I’d bet the farm it won’t happen anytime soon.
When this American-hating POS assumes room temperature, there’ll be no tears shed here. Her, and all her filthy ilk, need to be shipped back to the shitehole they crawled out of.
You want to see common sense, logical, legal immigration? Google "Ike" and "Operation Wetback." That's what we need. Again.
“Asylum” = welfare benefits
should be deported or imprisoned for fraud.
An America-hating, muzzie confessional district!

Bump!
“Muslims do not come here to assimilate but to conquer.”
This is not western Europe, where the sheeple are disarmed and forbidden from criticizing Islam by their governments.
This is armed America and the disarmers have no idea how to seize all the guns.
Muslims own the streets of London, Paris, Brussels, and Berlin, but not here other than Dearbornistan. Where are the Muslim rape gangs in America?
Too many armed “infidels” might be a reason.
Give the 3rd world sh*thole Minnesota to Canada.
Looking for a better job is not seeking asylum.
We're talking about people who are coming to our border, seeking asylum, and there's nothing illegal about seeking an asylum.
Entering the country ILLEGALY is the problem, not legally seeking asylum. - Tom
Apparently, all the wrongfully-imported moozlums in minnesota are borderline (if not completely) retarded. Their low IQs apparently arise from significant inbreeding. What complete idiots. The so-called religious “charities” have made 100’s of millions of dollars importing these anti-American losers from their sh**hole countries. Pox on them all. Only inbred morons would elect such a worthless pile of trash as this barely conscious loser.
i agree....insane
If this keeps up unchecked the American Dream will become a nightmare. If you want open borders you must get rid of welfare and food stamps etc.
