Trump is totally right here. Also Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother to gain citizenship. So she is not even legitimately in the U.S.!!
Notice the AP article says Trump “tells women of color” to leave. Trump never mentioned color or race!! The media did so they could spin him as a “racist.”

And notice how the propaganda media selectively quoted Trump to make him appear as a racist xenophobe:
__________________________
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed a group of Democratic congresswomen of color as foreign-born troublemakers who should go back to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came,” ignoring the fact that the women are American citizens and all but one was born in the U.S.
Trump’s tweets drew sharp rebukes from Democrats, who derided his remarks as racist. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the president wants to “make America white again.” Meantime Republican Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a Trump critic who recently took steps to leave his party, called the remarks “racist and disgusting.”
__________________________
When in context of his entire tweet, his quote makes sense:
__________________________
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” he said in tweets. “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”
He added: “These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”

The KEY POINT LOST HERE by the MSM is that Trump is actually RHETORICALLY saying:
“...if you want to criticize our country as corrupt and are so concerned about correcting wrongs committed by governments, why don’t you go to your countries of origin to solve their problems?”
In other words, this isn’t exactly as if Trump is saying “you go back to your country” as a stand alone statement. Rather, his comment is conditional upon the notion that these people are criticizing the US, so if they want to do so, they would find a lot more to criticize in their countries of origin.
Can you imagine Romney, Bush, or even Reagan having the confidence to say this? Thank you Trump for your honesty.
Btw, he is not being racist, but rather, “culturist.” There is nothing wrong with comparing one culture to another.
This reminds me of the “jack booted thugs” comment that got Wayne Lapierre into trouble around the time of the Oklahoma City bombing. When you read his book “Guns, Crime, and Freedom”, the “jackbooted thugs” comment came originally from a congressman who used that remark in about 1980 while arguing before a committee to abolish the BATF and described that sort of behaviour from BATF agents when a person had neglected to pay a tax or obey some other law pertaining to alcohol, tobacco, or firearms. And Lapierre probably just used that congressman’s quote in the fundraising letter that got all of that attention.
Not to mention that the tragedy in Oklahoma City was that good deal provoked by the government’s raid on the Branch Davidians when the Davidians had allegedly neglected to pay a firearms transfer tax.
Also Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother to gain citizenship. So she is not even legitimately in the U.S.!!

I don’t think this part is correct.
I believe she already was a citizen when she married her brother to fraudulently get him a green card.
She still committed immigration fraud and tax fraud.
