(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D.-Mich.) visited the Mexican side of the border barrier between California and Tijuana, Mexico on Monday to participate in “an interfaith prayer hosted by CAIR” (the Council on American-Islamic Relations).
After the prayer service at the border wall, Tlaib sent out a Tweet that included a video report on the event by Now This News.
“Rashida Tlaib visited the southern border to pray for separated families,” says a graphic on the video report.
“To see firsthand what the wall has done to border communities, families and to hear from U.S. veterans who were deported has reaffirmed my commitment to fighting against injustices that denies [sic] people their human dignity,” said Tlaib’s Tweet.
“From Palestine to Mexico, walls must go,” she tweeted.
“I’m here to tell you that I really do feel the incredible emotions as I came through Baja California and to this wall, all I could think about was my dear grandmother in Palestine,” Tlaib said in the video her talk on the Mexican side of the border.
“This is the same president that separated me from her and they’re doing it to so many of my incredible neighbors,” she said.
“I’m proud to serve the United States Congress, not only as a woman that grew up in the most beautiful, Blackest city in the country, the city of Detroit, but also a proud Palistinian-American, the child of Palestinian immigrants,” Tlaib said.
“And I want you to know that I work really, really hard on your behalf to tear down not only walls in Palestine, but here walls in Mexico,” she said.
The end of the video shows a group, bowing in prayer in front of the border wall and saying, “Allahu akbar.”
Here is a transcript of the remarks Tlaib made at the border as reported in the video:
“Instead of focusing on the American Dream, we have created a nightmare for so many families. …
“I’m here to tell you that I really do feel the incredible emotions as I came through Baja California and to this wall, all I could think about was my dear grandmother in Palestine.
“This is the same president that separated me from her and they’re doing it to so many of my incredible neighbors.
“I’m here to try to understand and then also try to be refueled in doing something about it.
“I think it’s really important that, many of the people I met here today, that I believe them, that this is wrong, that I believe them, and see them and hear them. …
“I’m proud to serve the United States Congress, not only as a woman that grew up in the most beautiful, Blackest city in the country, the city of Detroit, but also a proud Palistinian-American, the child of Palestinian immigrants. And I want you to know that I work really, really hard on your behalf to tear down not only walls in Palestine, but here walls in Mexico. …
“Putting a wall up is not doing anything but causing pain for so many families. And it’s really important to connect all these movements, to understand that walls create suffering. It creates so much pain for so many families and children. …
“You know, a young marine on my team told me about the incredible courage of deported veterans here that have been working to try to talk about the injustice of people, men and women that served our country and adopted our country, and served our country, and put their lives at stake were deported—all of it taken away from them. …”
Enemy within
Maybe Rashida could condemn the rocket attacks over these walls she wants to tear down
There is NO Palestine you jew hating bastard!!! This woman truly is evil..Tlaib is the one we should be worrying about..Omar is just as bad but I think Tlaib is even worse..she is even more dangerous
I wouldn’t be surprised if this meeting wasn’t a front/opportunity for some terrorist collaboration.
Bump!
I agree...Just by her pulling a stunt like this tells every radical terrorist in the world that she supports their cause.
we want bigger walls, cut off all financial aid to the world
She is supposed by CAIR and HAMAS, if she were NOT a member of Congress she would have blown herself up on a city bus in Israel a long time ago..she is far more dangerous..with Omar, she can be deported..with Tlaib, she cant, she’s an American citizen..she can basically say and do whatever she wants without consequence
Palestine was an area set aside to collect the dregs of the muslim world, specifically those creating all the problems in Jordan. They are treated like dirt in the rest of the muslim world and with unearned patience by Israel. They have become tools of Iran, and an invasion force here thanks to Obama.

we can’t let lies live without denouncing them..civilly, or religiously
“but also a proud Palistinian-American, the child of Palestinian immigrants”
Nothing American about her
Don’t forget. Michigan loses a Congressional seat too.
Now isn't that a hoot!!! The implication is that CAIR and Tlaib and other muzlims are praying together with Christians...The muzlims know and informed Christians know Christians and Jews are seen as the muzlim's enemies...To be conquered or killed...
