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

If it would discriminate against anyone, it would probably be the 80 IQ average Somalians, not the Latinos.

WE must stop re-electing Bush League Republicans who want to give the Democrats a permanent majority through amnesty.
As long as Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio keep dangling amnesty, they will keep coming.

Omar was admitted during the GHW Bush administration.
The flood of Somalis began long before the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

This means getting a higher interest level in the US Primaries, which seem to draw little interest. AOC is the only recent upset that I can recall in a primary.

Somalis are in the lowest 2% of stupid in the world:
