JD Vance wildly claims Ilhan Omar ‘definitely committed immigration fraud,’ White House will ‘go after’ her - Lemmy.World

JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.” Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency. The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.

Remember, Elon Musk was in America on a student visa but working for his brother’s company. That’s visa fraud, which you’re required to disclose on any subsequent visa or citizenship applications. He didn’t, so he’s also guilty of immigration fraud.

Anyone who runs on seizing his assets and locking that illegal immigrant in a detention facility gets my vote

so he’s also actually guilty

I know it’s such an insignificant word change, but it stabs at something I have to keep reminding myself: a single word can be the difference between correcting someone’s understanding of reality vs accidentally reinforcing a “both sides” argument.

This. They will find any tiny problem if you’re against them… it will get worse when they decide people born from immigrant families are not American anymore. So they can go back generations
