Is it too much to ask for immigrants who love America and its system of government?
That’s a question that President Trump has been asking, with an especially high level of vitriol, in the wake of the horrific shooting of members of the National Guard in Washington, DC, the day before Thanksgiving.
In a corker of a Truth Social post announcing “a permanent pause” in immigration from Third World countries, Trump went after Minneapolis-area Rep. Ilhan Omar, and for good reason.
Omar stands for everything we shouldn’t want an immigrant to be — ungrateful, hostile to the American system as such, and perhaps not above perpetrating immigration fraud.
Maybe the next time that Omar is a refugee from a war-torn, desperately poor African country looking for a safe haven in the West, she should try Canada or Australia.
