Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in Iowa doing last-minute campaigning on behalf of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). During an event in Clive Iowa, Omar explained how her idea of the "American Dream" were shattered once she came to America.
“When I first came to the United States, I remember one of the first things that I saw was homeless people sleeping on the sides of Manhattan when we arrived in New York. And I remember turning to my father and saying, 'This doesn't look like the America you promised.' And my father looked at me and said, 'Hush, child, we are going to get to our America,'" Omar recounted. "Because the America we were shown in the orientation tapes when we were coming here from the refugee camp in Kenya had beautiful homes with white picket fences, happy families eating a full meal in their beautiful living rooms. It had happy children getting on the bus to go to their beautiful schools. It had pictures of amazing malls, megamalls, and had pictures of beautifully built bridges and highways. It was a picture of abundance. Now that is the ideal."
"That is the America we all know we deserve but our reality is full of homeless people. Our reality is full of families who have moms and dads who are going without dinner or lunch or breakfast just so that they can have enough for their children," she explained. "Our reality is full of kids who are showing up to schools that are full of mold and leaking rooftops. Our reality has children who are facing drills every single day to learn about how they can escape being shot in our schools."
Omar seems to forget that the areas that are being overrun with homeless people – like San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City – are all cities under Democratic mayors and legislators. Homelessness isn't a new phenomenon. L.A. has always had "Skid Row," an area in downtown that has become infamous because of its condensed homeless population. Democrats continually cite areas like Skid Row or even Downtown San Francisco as an area they want to "clean up" and "fix." What do they do? Throw our taxpayer dollars at the problem but they never get to the root cause of the issue and why people are homeless to begin with. Is it because people fell on hard times and couldn't afford a house or an apartment? Did someone get involved in drugs and they're living on the streets so the money they'd spend on housing can go towards their drug habit? Does mental illness play a role in a person's instable living conditions?
In fact, Dr. Drew Pinsky has repeatedly said the people on Los Angeles' streets are people who are "chronically mentally ill" and they fail to receive treatment. That's a place for Democrats to start instead of launching poop patrols like San Francisco did.
Instead of coming to America and blaming the country for not living up to hear fantasy, Omar should be looking at her party for failing to give her and her family the "American Dream" they were promised.
May her muzzie dreams never be realized and be accursed.
Each of those blighted, crime ridden, drug infested, poop filled cites is the by-product of a woke Democratic mayor or city council.
Medi-Cal (California Medicaid) has mental health benefits.
My American dream is Omar deported to Somalia for being a criminal traitor.
Omar is a Democrat.
She didn’t like what she saw in Democratland.
The answer is simple.
She needs to renounce the Democrats and become a Republican and start proclaiming Republican policies.
Has she no spare bedroom?
She could pay to house five families on her income.
“”””Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)”””””””””””
I wish they would stop saying D-MN. They need to say D-Minneapolistan.
I live two miles from the western border of her district.
They should require a passport to enter that schiffhole.
Sorry we don’t live down to your standards, which apparently include marriage and immigration fraud. Buh-bye.
Yes, honey I’d go back to Somalia if I were you. You came here and won one of the most important jobs in America and you just can’t fulfill your dreams?
So sad.
Almost certainly she would have arrived at JFK Airport.
Did she even get to see Manhattan except from an airplane window?
Yeah, this is the kind of person I want to learn from on how to build and maintain a society: An America-hating muslim of limited intellect and who possesses not a shred of wisdom.
Helps explain why she sleeps with her brother and perhaps his barnyard animals.
And she knew...she just knew that this was not the America she was told about.
But look what happened...you went to OUR schools, lived in OUR housing, ate OUR food and live pretty damn good. Help someone....don't just talk about it.
America is the land of opportunity. If you don't won't to take that opportunity then all bets are off. Most people have to earn it. You and your ilk think everything is FREE. Well it's not. Now, STFU and go back to your POS country you left.
So LEAVE..no one is forcing that rag head to stay here..she can take her garbage and get the F out
You said it.
It could be Medicare
Wouldn’t everyone, including Omar, be happier if she just went home to Somalia?
