Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls For Citizenship For ‘All Undocumented People’
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar called Monday for a pathway to citizenship for “all undocumented people.”
Omar tweeted her support to end the undocumented status for all illegal immigrants in the U.S.
“We must create a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented people living here,” Omar said. “Immigrants get the job done.”
Omar had a meeting with activists from the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, an organization focused on advancing the “human and civil rights of immigrants and refugees,” according to their site. She said that the activists were on a hunger strike to protest for citizenship for all illegal immigrants.
We must create a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented people living here.
Met with activists with @Chirla, who have been fasting for days to push for a pathway to citizenship.

Omar previously said the government should stop detaining illegal immigrants in January 2020.
“This should never be the case,” she wrote in January 2020, referencing pictures of migrant camps at the U.S.-Mexico border. “The cruelty of our immigration system becomes clearer every day.”
She called in May 2019 to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency under the Department of Homeland Security, and to stop all “inhumane” illegal immigration programs.
The Biden administration urged Congress June 1 to pass the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which would allow 11 million illegal immigrants to obtain citizenship. The administration also stopped fines in April for illegal immigrants who don’t leave the U.S.

US citizens also have rights among which are the freedom to maintain standards, secure our borders and select whom we want to select. All this demanding this and demanding that is precipitating a wild backlash just you wait. Enough already.
Maybe if they entered our country the right way there wouldn’t be so much hesitancy on our part to want them as citizens. Why are they here? Once they have set down roots they tear our country apart. Omar has done nothing for our country, all she wants are that her demands be met so she can lead those who are here just to take all they can from a country they hate. She should be deported as an anti-American and take her illegal aliens with her. She can start her own country far far away from us.
Why does she say, “We Must do this” We put law breakers in jail, but we “MUST” grant citizenship to the “law breakers” who cross our borders illegally. Why doesn’t anybody on the left grasp the concept of national borders. She is free to cross into Mexico and see if Mexico welcomes her with open arms.
