She migrated from a war-torn Somalia and came to America, via a Kenyan refugee camp
Then, she was elected to Congress.
Why is she still here, constantly complaining about America?
SHE IS A DISGRACE TO THIS GREAT NATION!!!....If Ilhan Omar gets her way America will turn into a third world country like the one she left.
What would happen to a white Christian in Somalia? Could they get a seat in their national assembly? Could they become wealthy off a government pension? Could they mouth off about how unjust the country is and how Muslims are racists against whites and Christians?
a) Being fined for stealing something when it appears that this was not this lady's first offense.
b) Having your hand cut off in accordance with Shariah law.
Let's show Omar American justice first-hand by prosecuting her for immigration fraud and tax fraud and then deporting her.
Someone has to take Barney Frank, Pelosi and Hillary’s place on the evil left.
Omar needs to get out of the constitutionally limited power federal government and try to get elected to a state whose citizens would be willing to experiment with her approach to fighting for justice for all with 10th Amendment-protected state powers.
Justice Brandeis had put it this way about state powers to serve the people.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country. Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.(Note that constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.)
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG!
My thoughts, exactly. Creeps like Omar come from ****holes where there are no laws.

Somalia is known for its vast corruption. Somalia ranks among the worlds most corrupt countries. Insecurity is also a major issue; the ongoing instability greatly restricts business. Corrupt government officials tolerate illegal activities in return for bribes. Dysfunctional institutions facilitate an environment of lawlessness, and the absence of any form of regulatory framework hinders prospects of economic competitiveness. Business is based on patronage networks, and tight monopolies dominate the market. Somalias Provisional Constitution criminalizes several forms of corruption (including abuse of office, embezzlement and bribery); however, implementation is non-existent. The governing elite is continuously involved in allegations of embezzlement of public funds from the already meager Somalian coffers. Finally, bribery is commonplace in all sectors, and procurement contracts frequently involve corruption.
Judicial System Businesses face a high corruption risk when dealing with the courts. The institution is subject to political interference and suffers from high levels of corruption, rendering it ineffective (HRR 2015; FitW 2015). Civil courts in Somalia are practically nonfunctional; a combination of traditional and customary, sharia and formal law guide the institution and in some local courts depend on dominant local clans for establishing authority (BTI 2016). Court orders are not respected by Somalian authorities (HRR 2015).
Police Corruption is rife within the security apparatus. Impunity is widespread, and authorities do not maintain effective control over the police force (HRR 2015). In addition, the police are ineffective (HRR 2015). To stay protected from crime, companies in Somalia are forced either to cooperate with violent groups or to arm themselves against threats (BTI 2016).
The Somali National Army is the countrys most important security institution. It suffers rampant corruption: Army leaders have systematically inflated troop numbers to obtain greater funding. Furthermore, family and business ties link officials responsible for provisions and the companies contracted to provide the food rations (worth USD 8 million per year) (UN Security Council, Oct. 2015). Cases of corruption and misappropriation within the army led President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to order the replacement of the chief of the armed forces in 2015 (UN Security Council, Oct. 2015).
Public Services In 1991, Somalias state institutions witnessed a complete collapse, and efforts to rebuild the countrys public administrations since have been modest due to ongoing armed conflict and rampant corruption (BTI 2016). There are no legal or institutional frameworks regulating the market in Somalia, thus market competition is absent and the economy is controlled by patronage networks with close ties to the ruling elite (BTI 2016).
Land Administration Somali authorities are incapable of protecting property rights (BTI 2016). The construction boom the country is currently witnessing has further fueled conflict as title deeds are either unavailable or forged (BTI 2016). Forced evictions by both private and public actors, coupled with the absence of land deeds and corruption, will most likely further exacerbate land conflict in the future (BTI 2016). The country has no functioning land registry (BTI 2016).
Tax Administration The tax administration is absent in Somalia, and most businesses operate in the informal sector and thus go untaxed (BTI 2016). The government lacks the capacity both to collect taxes and to control the countrys territory, parts of which are under the rule of rebel groups (BTI 2016). This has allowed rebel leaders and warlords to establish their unique tax collection system from traders and businessmen operating in areas under their control (BTI 2016).
Customs Administration Businesses are likely to face extensive corruption in the customs sector. Bribery is common when clearing goods through the Mogadishu port (Hiiran Online, Jan. 2015). Generally, the diversion of revenue from ports is very common; for instance, revenue from the Mogadishu port totaled more than USD 5.5 million per month during 2013 (to put this in perspective, the Somali central bank in 2014 received an average of USD 4.6 million per month) (HRR 2014).
Trade in counterfeit goods is widespread at Somalias borders and has also served as a source of financing for armed rebels such as Al-Shabab (BTI 2016).
Public Procurement Public procurement in Somalia holds high corruption risks for business. The majority of public tenders are treated as confidential (BTI 2016). Secret contracting, where officials close public procurement deals in complete absence of transparency and oversight, is a common practice (HRR 2015). Reportedly, some regional entities have closed contracts with oil companies independently from the government (BTI 2016).
Public funds are found to be frequently diverted and misappropriated due to corruption (HRR 2015). In one major case, it was found that approximately 80% of payment transfers made by the central bank of Somalia was to private persons for non-business purposes (BTI 2016; HRR 2015). Government officials with close ties to the president also actively used the central bank to control overseas recovered assets including cash and gold held in banks during the Somalian civil war as well as government property abroad (HRR 2015, HRR 2014). The banks governor resigned after details of the case were revealed in 2013. His predecessor, appointed by the President, also resigned weeks later due to heavy political interference and corruption (BTI 2016). The case has triggered the government to set up a Financial Governance Committee to restore the trust of international donors. The committee is responsible for controlling corruption and securing transparency in the handling of public assets; however, only a small proportion of government contracts are shared with the committee (BTI 2016).
Natural Resources The natural resources industries are jeopardized by corruption and insecurity. The sector is almost completely unregulated; the petroleum industry is particularly problematic (UN Security Council, Oct. 2015). Several members of the political elite have signed extra

Applies today truer than ever, especially to this ingrate.
Here this "person" (because she sure is no lady) who escapes Somalia and Kenya and makes it to the US, can't see anything good about the U.S. and goes out of her way to denigrate and disparage the very country that millions upon millions of people around the world want to emigrate to because America is the beacon of freedom for the entire world.
She should be counting her blessings that she is not still in that shit hole homeland of hers, Somalia. I haven't researched it, but I would bet good money that there is not a big influx of people in the world who want to migrate to Somalia. I dare say that no one would want to do that.
She reminds me of another American citizen now who is spouting the same disgusting negative language about America and the freedoms and opportunities it provides to its citizens.
She reminds me of this womens' soccer player who take her moment in the spotlight to spit on the country that provided her with the opportunity to be the best she can be.
This freshmen muslim congress critter and the soccer player should be publicly shamed for their remarks and actions, not be given a platform to spew their hatred.

If this country were perfectly just, ingrates like he would not have been allowed to live here, let alone serve in Congress.
