Republican Whittney Williams, a President Trump supporter who used to live in the U.S. illegally, on Monday announced that she would be launching a campaign to challenge Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens (D) for the 11th District seat Stevens flipped blue during the 2018 midterms.

Williams, 37, said in an announcement video that she was brought to the United States at the age of 10 from Taiwan “without knowing a word of English.”

“My family overstayed their visas and, as a result, I spent the next 16 years living in the shadows as an illegal immigrant,” Williams said.

Williams, the director of diversity for Michigan’s 11th Congressional District Republican Committee, married her husband and gained citizenship in 2013, her campaign said in a statement to news site Mlive.com.

Green card holders can enlist.

We do not want illegal aliens enlisting.

We do not want illegal aliens, period.

She is no longer a dreamer, she is an United States Citizen just like you (I assume)

Sure her parents broke the law, she was 10 when they did, but she fixed it, it wasn’t cheap, she and her husband spent close to 20 grand and 5 years to get her citizenship. She is now a citizen of the United States and wants to run as a Trump Republican to knock out a leftist socialist Democrat.

We should embrace her.

That is confusing

Cause a year or so ago, Mattis released a statement that the armed forces had “dreamers” in it and he wasn’t going to kick them out because serving in the arm forces was a way to citizenship.

The Kenyanesian Usurper did issue some waivers to allow some of the recipients of his illegal DACA into the military.
That’s who Mattis was talking about.
Mattis also did not want to get rid of transexuals.
