    This is not how it works... it takes around 7 years for a 21 year old or older child of an American citizen to get the petition approved. It's only immediate for unmarried children younger than 21.

    The fraudulent marriage saved him 7 years on the waiting list...perhaps even longer.

    Yes. It's a felony, as is finally a joint return with one man while you are married to another man.

    You make an excellent point.

    DOUBLE STANDARDS: VIDEO: Students say Obama immigration quote racist. . .when they think it’s from Trump.

    In 2014, Obama gave an immigration address from the White House, in which he said:

    We are a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. That’s why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent, and that’s why we’re going to keep focusing on threats to our security. ​

    Wanting to know what college students would think of this quote and whether Obama was "racist" for wanting to deport illegal aliens convicted of a crime, Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips headed to Georgetown University to find out.

    After being told the quote came from “a president,” students offered near-universal condemnation for it, as well as the policy of deporting criminals.



    “I think that policy comes from a place of white American nationalism,” one said, before another added, “Donald Trump has embraced this rhetoric of racism and xenophobia that’s not beneficial to our country at all.”

    “I don’t think that quote stands true,” another stated.

    “It’s just really awful."

    After gathering their responses, Phillips played each student the video of Obama’s speech, showing them he was the president the quote belonged to.

    “I thought it was the Trump administration that said something like that,” one bewildered student said, while another agreed, saying “I didn’t expect it to be Obama… it never occurred to me that it could be him.”​

    “It’s quite surprising. I thought that was from Trump,” another said.​

    “My understanding of Obama vs Trump is that Obama was more liberal as far as amnesty… I expected that quote to come from Trump.”

    One student said it reminded him how hypocritical many politicians have become: “One person can say something five years ago and next thing you know it doesn’t apply to them anymore and they can now be the morality police for whoever is in office now.”​

    Actually, if she claimed him as a brother it would have exposed her immigration fraud by claiming to be part of a different family.

    If I'm following correctly Illhan was a juvenile when she immigrated and became a citizen. Any fraud to that point is on the adults involved not her.

    #MSM does a great deal of damage to the United States. The amount of lies and misinformation spread for political purposes, especially by the left, is not good for our country.

    Agreed but wasn't she underage when another family claim her as a member? What is that might have been a reason for exclusion of her and ”the family” during the naturalization process I cannot see the grounds for it now. I can see charging the adults involved.

    REPORT: ILHAN OMAR USED FALSE NAME TO ENTER U.S.
    New claim amid growing evidence she married brother in immigration scheme

    ...Steinberg points out that Omar’s marriage to Ahmed came after the State Department on Oct. 22, 2008, stopped accepting applications for a program enabling refugees to apply for asylum if one family member is already a legal U.S. resident.

    The program was halted because DNA testing — primarily of Somalis — had concluded that some 87 percent of applicants were fraudulently claiming family relationships.

    When Omar applied for a default divorce from Ahmed in August 2017, she swore under penalty of perjury that she had no contact with him after June 2011. Further, she swore that she didn’t know where to find him and didn’t know a single person who was likely to know his whereabouts.

    She may be innocent of the original fraud but not of the subsequent fraud stemming from it.

    It's easy but it doesn't change their minds really, they already have the culture of hate against someone because they are repeatedly bombarded with fake news and misinformation. The damage has been done.

    Wait until Google weighs in on the 2020 campaign and starts throwing out all of it's misinformation. It will be at a level we have never seen.

    It's easier to change someone from a positive to a negative viewpoint but much harder to change someone who has a negative viewpoint of an individual to a positive one. This is the negative campaign that is being waged today and it consists of almost entirely fake news and information and fake narratives.

    Either this story is BS or the trump admin is too incompetent to enforce our laws. Hell, maybe it’s both.

    Or its not BS, it becomes a massive political liability, and Trump points it out as he's sworn into his second term.

    We've been dealing with Fake News and propaganda a very long time, and won a LOT of elections despite all the propaganda. Speaking of which:

    Associated Press on Chappaquiddick: 50 years ago today, Kennedy’s car did something

    [​IMG]

    Still mythologizing.

    After covering for Ted Kennedy for decades, covering for Ilhan's impressive list of felonies is child's play.

    I think it might be true, and happened largely on Obama's watch.

    Did Omar change her name to falsify that she was part of the Omar family to get accepted as into America as a refugee
    In 1997?

    If she entered the United States under a false name, should she be sent back?

    For the sake of her American children she shouldn't be deported BUT she should be given the choice of several years in prison or voluntarily giving up HER citizenship.

    I was going through my grandmother's old magazines that she kept. One of them was an old Time/Life magazine that wrote about T. Kennedy's trial. The tag of the article said:

    "Ted Kennedy walked into the courtroom with his arm in a cast, his neck in a brace, and his butt in a sling".

    The author was never heard from again (at least professionally).

    Why do you people slander someone without proof to back up allegations?

    The position Mary Joe was found indicates she was alive and conscious for some time.

    I'd prefer to remember this from 50 years ago...
