| Ted Cruz slams Ilhan Omar over now-deleted tweet on immigration |
| 2019-05-30 |
| [FoxNews] A "merit based" immigration policy is fueled by racism towards the Latinx community," Omar wrote. "Our immigration policies shouldn't be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry. We should welcome immigrants to our country and offer a simple way to citizenship." Sen. Cruz also weighed in and called out the Democratic Party for apparently believing that "Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration." "As the son of a Cuban immigrant whose Dad came to get a math degree & become a computer programmer, I’m troubled that Dems seem to believe Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration," Cruz tweeted. "Bringing in more scientists, engineers & doctors is good for US jobs." Rep. Omar's office did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. |

| #4 There is no racism when the rules are binary. Did subject cross the border without the legally required documents? If yes, organ banks. If no, release them. |

| #3 I think deleted tweets are sort of like an attorney saying "I withdraw the question" after an objection is sustained. You can't unring a bell. |

| #2 Replace AOC with Omar. I was thinking AOC at the time of typing. Both are out in Looney Land. |

| #1 So says AOC, "Our immigration policies shouldn't be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry" First, we haven't had any reasonable, viable and sane immigration policy for quite awhile.Second, this can has been kicked down the road by both parties. Third, it the duty of this country to decide who comes into this country and on what basis. |
