The squad-member says Biden and Schumer should disregard the recommendation with which they do not agree
Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is calling on the leaders of her Democrat Party – including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Joe Biden – to disregard the ruling Sunday night by the Senate parliamentarian that disallowed a significant immigration reform members were attempting to fit into their $3.5 trillion spending package.
Omar – a member of the House Democratic Conference's progressive Squad – said Monday that the best way to deal with the parliamentarian's ruling is simply to ignore it.
"This ruling by the parliamentarian, is only a recommendation. @SenSchumer and the @WhiteHouse can and should ignore it. We can't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to do the right thing," tweeted the progressive politician.
Democrats are attempting to insert a policy into their spending package, which they plan on passing via reconciliation (without the support of any Republicans), that would grant 8 million green cards to illegal immigrants who are in the country for a variety of reasons, including being brought as children and fleeing perilous conditions in their countries of origin.
"The policy changes of this proposal far outweigh the budgetary impact scored to it and it is not appropriate for inclusion in reconciliation," wrote Elizabeth MacDonough, the parliamentarian.
President Biden and his intra-party rivals focused on policy proposals during the 2020 presidential primary cycle, each promising to overhaul the U.S. immigration system that politicians on both sides of the aisle believe is flawed. However, since assuming office, a crisis at the southern border has unfolded in record time, and the Biden White House has been slow to act.
Rules.... who needs stinkin rules.
Abide by their own rules anyway, while it suits them.
$itch is the little Somali War Lord we always knew she was, and should be treated as such.
She is good at ignoring laws and rules when it comes to immigration.
The party leader has spoken.
Amazing how much pull she has.
Censure this freak and be prepared to expel.
Expulsion would require 2/3rds vote and she would quickly win reelection to her vacant seat. SCOTUS has ruled that the House would have to seat her.
They feel confident that the courts will back them up.
That is the problem with a democracy, majority rules. Fortunately we have a Republic, if we can keep it.
Give the finger to the country and the law. That is her way!
It’s a “rules of the Senate” thing. If they figure a way around the filibuster, the filibuster is gone permanently.
I guess that rules only apply to people who don’t marry their siblings as part of an immigration fraud scheme.
Ilhan Omar, a POS, should be put on a plane and dumped in the shithole country she came from.
Who the heck votes for these people? Amazing to me that the squad members could actually get elected and then taken seriously by not only the insanely left-leaning press but by the Democrat leadership. What happened to Democrats like Stevenson, Kennedy (even), Scoop Jackson, and even Jimmy Carter who actually loved America and knew socialism for what it is?
This is the face of dictatorship.
Big billboards.
Everywhere.
Omar is just doing what the Quran tells Muslims to do. Invade countries destroy the present country’s government and ultimately create a worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law.
She doesn't care about the US. She hates the US.
The way she thinks is the way that those who feel entitled to lie and cheat to win an election think. To them, there are no actions that aren't justified to achieve what they want.
“Who the heck votes for these people?”
Somali’s, her district had loads of them.
Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
She lied to get into the country.
She lied to get citizenship.
She married her brother to fraudulently get him a green card.
