Trump masterfully navigates ‘Send her back’ controversy
New York Post ^ | July 18, 2019 | Michael Goodwin

Presidents, like most politicians, don’t apologize. They don’t admit mistakes, either. President Trump just did both. By saying he “disagreed with” and “wasn’t happy” with the audience chants of “Send her back” at his Wednesday rally, Trump effectively walked back his own tweet that went too far. On Sunday, he had criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar and three other rookie Democrats by saying they should “go back” to their home countries. The president took an enormous media and political pounding for those words, and Democrats in the House voted to condemn his comments. Some Republicans also complained, as did daughter Ivanka Trump, The Wall Street Journal reports.

We need to carry the ball on this for Trump.

We need to keep repeating “Send Her Back” because she is here fraudulently.

We need to push “Love it or Leave it” too.

I don’t see the problem with the ‘Send her back’ chant, nor with Trump’s tweets. These are not racist, not threatening. Too many snowflakes around upset at the slightest provocation.

Was the Donald j.Trump name read into the Congressional Record as is the custom now?

Keep in mind...falsifying official documents is the preferred criminal method to cover-up larger crimes.

SOURCE: UK Daily Mail ^ | July 18, 2019 | Ross Ibbetson / FR Posted by C19fan

An incendiary photo purports to show Donald Trump's sworn enemy Ilhan Omar with two of her husbands - one allegedly her brother - at the same event. Trump caused uproar yesterday when he repeated the suggestion that the Democrat Congresswoman had married her own brother. The explosive rumor first appeared during her election campaign in 2016 and prompted a furious response with Omar calling it an Islamophobic slur. However, her conjugal arrangements are baffling in large part because she has failed to fully explain an apparent overlap in her unions to Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi (her first and current husband) and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (her second and ex-husband).

Citizenship Can Be Revoked For Lying on Applications / Vanity FR Posted on 7/17/2019 by TigerClaws

If it can be proven Illhan Omar lied applying for citizenship, she can be deported back to Somalia. Her project in improving her home country can then begin. For those unfamiliar with the facts, she allegedly used a sham marriage to a man who was, in fact, her brother to become a citizen here.

Law sources: Consequences of Providing False Testimony During Naturalization Interview

If you knowingly and intentionally provide false information (orally) during the naturalization interview and testing process--or if USCIS discovers that you falsely testified in order to gain immigration benefits in the past--you can expect your citizenship application to be denied. Or, if the lie is discovered later, USCIS can revoke (take away) a person's citizenship.

The naturalization interview is held "under oath," meaning that right from the start, you raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth. The immigration laws specifically say that, "No person shall be regarded as, or found to be, a person of good moral character who, during the period for which good moral character is required to be established [has] given false testimony for the purpose of obtaining any [immigration benefits]." (See the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) Section 101(f)(6).)

As you probably know, receiving U.S. citizenship via the process of naturalization requires proving good moral character.

Depending on what a person lied about and the implications for their immigration status, there could also be further consequences, including being placed in removal proceedings and ultimately deported from the United States. For example, if a man was to lie during the naturalization interview and say that he was still married to the woman who helped get him a green card--and the fact that he was actually divorced was not only discovered, but led to a finding that the entire marriage had been a fraud--removal would be the likely consequence.

It is heartening that the President listens to Michael Goodwin. Goodwin is a very level-headed journalist.

As to any effort for us to keep the "send her home" meme going, I think that is wrong.

Let it die.

If we don't, it will keep getting attributed to the President and even he--the President--has come to understand that "send her home," while well deserved by the Squad, it a double-edged sword that can hurt the President.

I wouldn't sweat the "Send-Her-Back" chant.

Americans have become accustomed to the three syllable chant ever since "U-S-A" became popular.

President Trump only suggested that they voluntarily go back to their ethnic homelands to fix problems there, and come back and tell us how they did it.

"Send her back" implies a government that forcibly deports people, which is legal after all reasonable due process. Trump was not suggesting forcible removal.

Let the false pretenses carry the “ send her back”.... if here truly illegal
it sets a great precedent and exposes the duplicity of this person and the squad

Lets see who has the spine to follow the paper trail on Omar......

Love it or Leave it fits everyone so amp that side up.

Omar seems to be in big trouble. What happens if Omar goes to jail for breaking the law?
