There’s a clip going around of Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar talking to a group of Somalians about her allegiances and priorities as a U.S. congresswoman. What Omar says is instructive, not just about her general worldview but mostly (and more importantly) about how backward and destructive our immigration system is.
Omar is a woman of the left, but her speech over the weekend was pure blood-and-soil nationalism — for Somalia, not America.

She ought to be stripped of her citizenship and deported for breaking her oath of citizenship.

Excellent read.
But I think we’re too far down the road. To “elect” enough senators and congressmen to return the national mindset to “America First” is becoming more Pollyanna-ish every day.
When I was in grade school, I remember being taught that when you come here, you learn the LANGUAGE, get a JOB, and immediately begin striving for citizenship. And citizenship was a REWARD — not a “right” that has demeaned its value.
We’ve lost at least a generation (and maybe 2-3+) who understand these things. I’m not sure how we can recover those ancient values.

Congressional oath of office
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God

It may be too late to stop the transformation of the current USA to a future socialist utopia with the dominant political party today in the USA, the leftist and socialist Democrats, flooding the USA with unlimited numbers of poor and uneducated Third World origin illegal aliens who once inside the USA are recognized as members of minority groups in Democrat identity politics, useful for the leftist and socialist Democrats to transform through all sorts of legalization programs designed to turn unlimited numbers of those Third World origin people into future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters. Unfortunately there is little to stop that leftist and socialist Democrats political agenda from eventually succeeding in DC, as it looks like the wimpy Republicans and their RINOS are ready to cave and allow the leftist and socialist Democrats to allow 1,800,000 Third World origin illegal aliens to gain entry to the USA each year on into the future, while ignoring the fact that the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) passed by Congress that is the nation's current immigration laws already allow over a million and half legal immigrants to gain entry to the USA each year, and the fact that Biden has stopped all immigration law enforcement efforts throughout the interior of the USA thus allowing the millions of aliens who enter the USA through airports and seaports each year with supposed temporary visas to not leave the USA as they promised, but to just stay and blend in with the rapidly growing illegal alien population. There are not nearly enough American jobs to employ ten million or so por, uneducated and non-English speaking illegal aliens being allowed into the USA each year. With ten or more illegal alien applicants for every so-called "blue collar" or unskilled jobs across the country, common sense with tell you that employers will hire the cheapest labor possible, that will diminish what future American workers will be able to earn in those jobs to at or near the federal minimum wage across the board.
Americans had better wake up and figure out that the great oceans can no longer protect the USA from all manner of foreign influences before the USA is destroyed as a nation and becomes just another Third World place.

Do read this excellent essay. The second headline:
Immigration and border policy should first serve the interests of Americans, to the exclusion of all other peoples and nations.
This is the essay's theme.
As I recall Omar's father was on the wrong side of conflict in Somalia and they had to flee for their lives. What we never heard were her father's views. What put him and his family in such peril. Perhaps he too was a flaming radical dissident... She is a danger to our country and should be expelled.

I found this interesting article on her father (definitely an influence on his young daughter), their Marxist-Muslim beliefs, and her early activism at age 14 in Minnewotq. Well worth your time.

Omar's father was a part of the dictator Siad Barre's repressive government. When that regime began to fail, Siad Barre resorted to torture, mass murder...
FTA in #8:
“On the heels of the bishop’s murder came the July 14 massacre, when the Red Berets slaughtered 450 Muslims demonstrating against the arrest of their spiritual leaders. More than 2,000 were seriously injured. The next day, forty-seven people, mainly from the Isaaq clan, were taken to Jasiira Beach west of the city and summarily executed,” according to the UN report.
The Isaaq genocide of 1988-89 exterminated between 60,000 and 100,000 Somalis.
Without Siad Barre dictator as their patron, the Omar family flees
By 1991, the Siad Barre regime collapsed as the country tore itself apart in civil war. Regime loyalists – families like Ilhan Omar’s – could find no safety any more in Somalia. They fled to Kenya, and ultimately made it to the United States.
It appearss that Ihan is trying to carry on her "teacher-trainer" father's's work here.

Hussien imported 70,000 Somalis that live in Minn. All in one area. That are is the 5th Congressional district which the FBI says is America's terrorist recruitment capital. The district is represented by Omar. She has called for the dissolution of our Homeland Security. She is NOT here to help America.

If it's too much for you take your oath of office on the Bible, then you don't belong in office. This includes the jerk that took his on a stack of record albums.

Omar is not a legitimate US citizen. She obtained entrance to the US via marriage fraud. She should be stripped of her citizenship and deported. Perhaps, after serving a term in prison for the crime she committed to enter this country.
