Ok - read it and weep everyone. I'm team Omar, lol! 1. First of all, I fear much greater damage to the country from politically directed investigations of enemies than from a single case of immigration fraud. 2. I think so many of us have known illegals, known of green card weddings, known of completely embellished visa applications. Melania Trump had an “extraordinary ability” that qualified her for the “Einstein” EB-1 visa? Immigration lawyers concoct embellished claims for visas all day long ("An industry of lies - see below). 3. I'm very aware of my own hypocrisies. As much as I dislike Omar, when I imagine her or her brother being deported, I immediately make a mental list of all the people I've known who would belong on that same list. 4. America has some responsibility here. For decades we signaled to the world that the paperwork was a formality. We needed the labor. We refused to get serious about making it hard for illegals to work. We floated amnesties. We had sanctuary cities, etc. We were flowers to the bees. 5. People will do things to help their families. If she lied to help her brother, I can understand the impulse. 6. The family came in 1995, when she was a kid. The paperwork was her father's. She did what she was advised to. And if the age was off, does anyone think she wouldn't have qualified on her own a year or two later? 7. These matters are 17 to 30 years old. Short of murder, how often do we go after things this old? I don't know the technicalities of the law here, but I know that most of us believe statutes of limitations make practical sense and are not immoral. And nobody thinks that the failure to investigate a 30-year-old robbery means that we have no recourse for robberies that happen today. 8. This is an appropriate matter for the press. They can expose the truth and the voters can make their decisions I don't like Ilhan Omar. So what? I know how America is supposed to work.
