Ilhan Omar is a despicable congresswoman, saying on BET earlier today that the border patrol “terrorize” migrants on the border (h/t: Free Beacon)
The first ridiculous thing out of Omar’s mouth was that she referred to CBP as a ‘rogue agency’ with no accountability or transparency:
We have rogue agencies that have no accountability, no transparency in how they conduct their business. We know that they have spoken in the most vile ways about immigrants…
CBP absolutely has accountability and it’s called congressional oversight of DHS. DHS also has their very own Inspector General’s office to investigate all agencies within DHS when the need arises. It’s just not true to say they are rogue and have zero accountability. If this was the case, then there would be no consequences and no investigation into the officers caught in the private Facebook group disparaging migrants and members of Congress.
Omar continued by suggesting that we should completely eliminate CBP:
We should be having a conversation about eliminating their existence, reforming the agencies that deal with our most vulnerable, our children and women.
If we have no border patrol, how do we manage these migrants illegally crossing our border? Or maybe that’s the point, that she doesn’t want it to be managed at all, like so many of our 2020 Democratic candidates. Let’s just have open borders and forget about the drugs, the human trafficking of “our most vulnerable.”
Then Omar accused the CBP of terrorizing immigrants:
“We are continuing to allow for them to terrorize people who are running away from the most horrific circumstances. And that’s one, inhumane, and that can’t sit well with the American values that we have…”
Absolutely despicable. She’s accusing our good men and women at the border of being terrorist to these immigrants, all for her obscene political agenda of getting rid of ICE and CBP.
Such unAmerican remarks the day before we celebrate independence from tyranny. Ugh.
