Sending Ilhan Omar ‘Back’ Was Never A Question, But The Future Of America Is
Townhall.com ^ | July 22, 2019 | Scott Morefield

When Greenville, North Carolina rallygoers chanted “Send her back!” last Wednesday night at President Donald Trump’s mention of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, I’ll admit I chuckled. “This is going to bring hell,” I thought, but at the same time, man, what a hilarious way to troll media do-gooders and let out a little pent-up frustration at the same time.

But the media and others predictably took it way more seriously than I did, because they all want you to know what good peeps they are compared to the ‘bad Orange man’ and his ‘crazed’ followers. The Daily Beast wondered if Trump’s “hard-core” supporters could be “deradicalized.” In an op-ed published Thursday, the New York Times editorial board accused Trump of being an “avid race warrior” who engages in “fomenting racial hatred.” Those were some of the milder examples. By the sheer decibel level of media histrionics, one would be forgiven for assuming that Trump himself had been proven to be the one wearing the KKK outfit in Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s old yearbook.

“He seeks to demonize those who oppose his policies as dangerous extremists out to destroy America,” the NYT column reads hysterically. “In cases where his critics are not white — whether congresswomen of color or a judge of Mexican heritage — Mr. Trump is eager to spotlight that fact. The president is looking to divide Americans along color lines, to conjure a zero-sum vision of America in which whites must contend against nonwhites for jobs, wealth, safety and citizenship.”

But it’s all a big con, as always. Trump, who has in fact disavowed the chants while backing the crowd as “incredible patriots,” never said one thing about race, and would have and has in the past criticized his pasty white critics and political opponents just as vehemently if not more so, but none of that matters to a media bent on framing him as the second incarnation of Jim Crow.

The right’s “well, I never!” crowd chimed in too, because of course they did. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy – Paul Ryan Lite – said the chants have “no place in our party and no place in this country.” Minnesota GOP Rep. Tom Emmer left “no place for that kind of talk” while Illinois GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger wants the “ugliness” to “end, or we risk our great union.”

There were plenty more, but Kinzinger’s comments about “our great union” being at “risk” speaks to the heart of the real, much deeper issue. The silly chants notwithstanding, most everyone agrees that we shouldn’t kick people out of our country, particularly citizens, for disagreeing with us politically. Even Ilhan Omar. In fact, if you were somehow able to ask each and every rally attendee who participated in that chant if he or she would really “send” Omar back to Somalia simply for disagreeing about politics, the overwhelming majority would likely say “no,” that the chant was just a way to get a dig in at the “Squad” member, especially following the uproar over Trump’s Sunday tweets.

Global Policy Forum defines a nation as “a large group of people with strong bonds of identity - an ‘imagined community,’ a tribe on a grand scale.” However, the group adds: “Because of migration, most modern states include within their borders diverse communities that challenge the idea of national homogeneity and give rise to the community of citizenship, rather than membership in the nation.”

What am I getting at? Thankfully, America doesn’t define who gets to be a citizen by race or ethnicity or other immutable characteristics, yet there once was a certain baseline, a patriotism, a belief in American exceptionalism we all, or at least most of us, shared. No matter where we came from, we would stand together to pledge our flag and listen to our anthem with hands over hearts. Democrat or Republican, we never doubted that the other party meant what was best for the country, even if we differed on exactly how to get there. People came here to breathe free, not for the free stuff. And while we welcomed immigrants, we also understood the concept of assimilation, and the thought of flooding our borders with unending millions upon millions of socialist-leaning Third World migrants simply for votes would have been deemed ridiculous and impractical by most if not all.

When we accuse Democrats of being “open borders,” they pooh-pooh the notion, insisting we’re slinging rhetoric at them with no proof. But is there any indication any of them are for anything BUT open borders? Is there a limit to how many Ilhan Omars they would bring to this country in their quest for a permanent Democratic voting majority? Is there any desire to keep the masses of the world, almost ALL of whom would love to come here, at home, even helping them there so they don’t feel like they need to come here? Is there any concern for the lower to middle class American citizens already here and adversely affected by the non-ending influx of unskilled job competition?

Sadly, today’s brand of liberal, led by Representative Omar and her “Squad,” puts to the test not only what it should mean to be an American, but how long America will last in its current form.

I don’t think we should send “her” back. I think she never should have been invited in in the first place. We need to stop importing people who hate America. If anyone claims that’s over the top, let me just say one doesn’t want to fundamentally change what one loves.

It should not be.

It should be the answer.

President Trump should invest some resources in Omar and Talib’s home districts, promoting in Somali and Arabic (or whatever they speak), that American elections are free and secret.

State that anyone who claims to know how you vote is lying, and any person can vote for any party regardless of how they are registered. Finally, encourage them to report anyone who threatens harm to vote or not. I’d bet money there are thugs terrorizing vulnerable voters here, as they did in the old world.

What the hell, put the message out there in Spanish as well.

In Europe the whites use the term “The Great Replacement”; governments are simply exchanging their populations with traditions of individual rights for bipedal livestock that is much easier to control). Our government has been doing the same thing for decades.

BeauBo :" “Sending Ilhan Omar ‘Back’ Was Never A Question”
..It should be the answer."

Exactly true !
Ilhan Omar has no intent to assimilate, rather, her intent is to make her refugee culture to be dominate here.
Rather than assimilate, she has chosen to culturally infiltrate.
The refrain to "Send her back" has more to do with rejection of her theocratic religious/militaristic culture of "submission",
which are a rejection of freedom and basic principles upon which this country was founded.
It should be no surprise that her 'culture' supports slavery, submission, and people who are viewed as 'property'.

“In truth, ‘sending her back’ was never and never will be on the table, nor should it be.”

It will be, and should be...if in fact she committed immigration fraud with her brother, as seems extremely likely.

I’m sure there’ll be parties across the land the day she’s deported, if and when it happens!

The even better moment will be when she’s booted from Congress...

Well, isn't that what they are? Omar's efforts to turn America into a copy of Somalia certainly is not motivated by a desire to *improve* America.

“In cases where his critics are not white...

So we are supposed to embrace destructive, anti-American policies just because those pushing them are not white? Or, conversely, we would embrace totalitarian dictatorship if only the would-be dictator were white? Ask Bernie Sanders about that...

THE PLAN--- Muslim Caucus announces plan to 'build our power' (911 was the Muslim calling card)
World Net Daily ^ | 17 July 2019 | Staff / FR Posted on 7/17/2019, 2:15:22 PM by amorphous

Two decades ago, Omar M. Ahmad, then the chairman of the terror-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, was reported to have told a gathering of Muslims that their purpose for being in America was to help make the Quran the highest authority in the nation. Omar and other CAIR leaders have denied he made the statement, but WND found the reporter and her editors stood by the story, refuting CAIR’s claim that they had retracted it.

Omar Silent on New Claims That She Has a Different Real Name and Entered Country Fraudulently
theohiostar.com ^ | 07.19.2019 | Anthony Gockowski / FR Posted on 7/19/2019, 12:27:18 AM by rxsid

A bombshell report released Thursday claims that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN-05) entered the country fraudulently in 1995 as a member of the “Omar” family, which allegedly isn’t her real family. The article was published Thursday at Powerline by David Steinberg, formerly an editor of PJ Media who has written extensively on Omar over the past three years. In his article, Steinberg claims:

“In 1995, Ilhan entered the United States as a fraudulent member of the ‘Omar’ family. That is not her family. The Omar family is a second, unrelated family which was being granted asylum by the United States. The Omars allowed Ilhan, her genetic sister Sahra, and her genetic father Nur Said to use false names to apply for asylum as members of the Omar family.” (Excerpt) Read more at theohiostar.com ...

================================

H/T Beau Bo: WRT her family history in Somalia....

<><> Were they members of Communist dictator Said Barre's inner circle?
<><> The family fled Somalia 1991--the year Barre's Government fell (not during the mass genocide in 87-89).
<><> Did the Omar/Elmi family participate in perpetrating Barre's genocide?
<><> Did the family collude in fraudulent schemes to get into the United States?
(similar to Nazi sympathizers helping Nazi war criminals escape to South America and establish new identities?)
<><> What role is Ilhan and "her family" playing in Somalia today?
<><> Which factions do they support?
<><> Does Congressman Ilhan support terrorists al Shabaab?
<><> What role is Ilhan and "her family" playing in Somalia today?
<><> Which factions do they support?
<><> Does Congressman Ilhan support terrorists al Shabaab?

If she committed immigration fraud she should be sent back. If she is not related to the “Omars” she DID commit immigration fraud. If she really “married” her brother to commit immigration fraud, and it seems she did, she should be sent back.

We are dancing around the real elephant here...

There is no f-ing way any muslim should hold a political office in the US...especially not in our Law-making body.

Cair is running 2000 muslims in 2020.

This spirit of “diversity” is madness.

Apparently Omar made several moves upon landing on our precious American soil:

<><> She became a citizen AND a victim.
<><> She joined the Democrat party,
<><> She learned to speak the language of oppression.

She thoroughly understands our system (which she hold in complete contempt).

She must have been coached by the Muslim authorties to whom she is in obeisance (all of them lying in wait to make us submit to Sharia law).

Omar is their tool. According to her Washington Post profile, Omar wasted no time....
she “felt betrayal” immediately upon getting to America.


There are 50 countries around the world that identify as Islamic.

There’s something sinister about this bunch whining for “civil rights”.....
complaining about Christians in a decidedly Christian country like America.

Why do Muslims need America to legitimize themselves?

They whine about making sure people feel represented.

Balderdash———Islam is all about “triumphalism”.....getting power over infidels.

The word “Islam” means submission.

These people are plotting, lying-in-wait to force submission to Islam
and to install Sharia law in our nation. ....using our Congress and our laws.

We cannot rest til these people are unceremoniously kicked out of our country.

She was naturalized and her citizenship should definitely be revoked and she should be sand back to Somalia, and never be allowed to set foot in this great nation

If the fraud committed can be proven, she should be sent back. However, Trump tweeted for them to go back (Voluntarily) to their prospective countries and Fix them.
The lie should be challenged every time!
