Republican Senator Ted Cruz blasted Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar over a racist tweet suggesting that Latinos would never make up the cut under a merit-based immigration system. Somali refugee Omar: Latinos can’t measure up
Omar tweeted: “A ‘merit-based’ immigration policy is fueled by racism towards the Latinx community. Our immigration policies shouldn’t be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry. We should welcome immigrants to our country and offer a simple way to citizenship.”
In her condescending, patronizing, racist tweet, Omar suggested that Latinos are too stupid and unskilled to qualify for admission based on merit. Amid heavy backlash, Omar deleted the tweet. ilhan omar married brother

What a hoot!
Like SHE and her countrymen could??????
That's not the problem, stupid! It's illegal immigration that's the problem. We need to control our borders...period...and quit political promises of free stuff aimed at bolstering the waning Democrat voter base.
She makes some of the stupidest ( and hateful) remarks in the news today - and she thinks other people are dumber ? Ha ha ha. What farce our congress has become! Truly, INCITITUS would be a far, far better legislator than this horrible woman!
And the flood of Somali’s Obama let in with little education or skills... would they have qualified? I think not.
Precisely. It is the only justification for racist policies such as affirmative action. The problem is that the beneficiaries should be telling the government to go pound sand but they don’t. They gleefully accept the thumb on the scale and demand that they press down harder. Then they complain that they’re not getting their due respect.
She just wants the US to manage its borders like her beloved failed state, Somalia.
Typical muslim attitude towards non-muslims...............
Until we’ve all spent as much time with AOC as Omar has, let’s not be too quick to judge.
Yep. FYI, to everyone. My latino son-in-law is Republican, was a Marine who served two tours, and is a Trump supporter!! Yes. He and I are the lone conservatives. His wife, my daughter is a liberal and we torture her. I got her a Trump coffee cup for Mother’s day ;)
Sometimes this idiot comes across like a character in a Richard Pryor movie.
lol
Omar is such a jerk... we have lots of LEGAL immigrants from South American and Mexico in Florida and a fair share of our medical doctors and lawyers are Hispanic - and they're some of our best.
“They believe that minorities are stupid...”
You hit the nail on the head. If you drill down to it, the basic tenent of Liberalism is that anyone who isn’t a rich white liberal is inferior in intelligence and ability and can’t survive without the Nanny State’s constant assistance.
It drives me up the wall to hear “Progressives” proclaim Trump to be a racist as if this was a well-established fact. Trump is helping to bring jobs and opportunities to minority communities. Democrats just want to bring crap public housing and unending welfare and government control. Who’s the racist there?
Somalis are among the dumbest people on the planet. She’s complaining about Central Americans? Of course, with her being elected to Congress, it might be said that her constituents are among the dumbest people on the planet.
No. Be quite certain she thinks people from where her ancestors come from are more than smart enough to get in anyway.
Just not hispanics.
It is great what your SIL has acco.plished.
But that we still feel the need to point out the successes says something about them...or us...
Holy cow. That’s very low.
