“I have no worry, I don’t know how they’d take away my citizenship and like deport me,” she said on The Dean Obeidallah Show. “But I don’t even know like why that’s such a scary threat. Like I’m not the 8-year-old who escaped war anymore. I’m grown, my kids are grown. Like I could go live wherever I want if I wanted to. It’s a weird thing to wake up every single day to bring that into every single conversation, ‘we’re gonna deport Ilhan.’”

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Lol literally "go back to Africa"
Musk is the only person who this should be said to.
Why do you hate Africa?
And Peter theil
Go BACK to Where you ILLEGALLY CAME FROM Before you put even MORE Americans out of Work!
Of COURSE I'm talking about Ilhan Omar and NOT South African Elon Musk who's here ~~ILLEGALLY~~ RICH!
And Peter theil
Why dont Trump go back to Germany then?
Trump always acts like his family was on the Mayflower. He’s a second gen American and all his wives are foreign born. He and his entire family are just as much of a foreigner as Omar.
Aaaand the main difference is….
drumroll
Whhhiiiitttteee
My family was on the Mayflower but if Ireland would like to take me back on account of the generational sin and all that I'd be happy to get on the plane.
Some of my ancestors came to what's now the US over a century before the Mayflower (they were conquistadors). It's not an achievement and says nothing about how American I am.
Trump's unamerican not because of his ancestry, but because of his values and behavior.
No, but they raise a point that if conservatives care so much about immigrants and ancestry then there is hypocrisy here. Obviously, because conservatism doesn’t function without it, but it’s still a direct response to something being screamed about.
No thanks, we don't want him back. Just drop him off the plane over the Atlantic if you must.
Instead you guys unleash Peter Thiel on the world... Wtf is up with Germany and unleashing generational assholes unto the world?
Thiel was moved out of Germany when he was like 4. Either we admit that nurture is more important than the country of birth, or Hitler doesn't count as German
If you happen to lose him on the flight back to Germany, I won't complain.
Says the guy that the son of an immigrant and married one as well
And generations of war dodging plus his family came here illegally…
Yeah, but they're white, so they don't count.
“She should go back!”
Trump is old and so are his racist slogans.
Trump should fuck off to Somalia
The Somalis have enough issues. I suggest the orange paedo goes on a nice rocket ride to the sun, specifically the very middle of it.
It costs less to throw him out of the solar system than it does to throw him into the sun, no need to waste energy
Trump needs to go back to loompa land
What disgusting racism, both in his conduct, and supporters repeating and amplifying his comments. Republicans truly are the worst.
Classy as always I see.
Can we fire him into the sun? Paging @NASA?
Hell even the inflated prices SpaceX charges would be worth it IMHO.
Fire him into Jupiter. It's easier to go out than in.
Why bother even doing that? Just give him a tour of an SRB. Make it an exciting tour by showing him the nozzle during a static fire test.
Sorry, they've been defunded. Best they can do is have a guy from Fox News with no scientific background waddle out and claim Climate Change is a hoax made up by the demoncRATS. Maybe blame it on the Jews too, if AIPAC hasn't been donating as much lately.
I’d like to tell Trump the same. He’s a traitor.
