Of course you don't want to call it "trespassing." It's not devious enough to paint them as trespassers. That would just be a factual assessment, a literal description.

To push the White Nationalist agenda, you have to assign motive and danger to those "others."

They don't come to just work. They come to replace you and what you stand for with their wicked ways...

Did I capture the pearl-clutching?

So there's no crisis at our border and whites are evil. We get your narrative.

This may be the truest case of cognitive dissonance I've ever seen.

Somebody, please tell me why they keep coming to this terrible place!
Perhaps we could pack up Rep Omar to the border and let her pontificate there. Maybe it will discourage the crowds from coming.

She says living in America is an insult ? Why doesn’t she move back to Somalia? Is it too late?

Talk about ungrateful ! This is a woman that WE took in as a freakin refugee!

Any American of any political party or no political party should be insulted by her comments . You think when Trump is out of office she will stop saying these things about America ? Yeah right , she will continue .

Everything she says is nonsense as a refugee from Somali she was elected to office .. in Trump’s America . If the lies she spouted were true she would never have that opportunity due to “white nationalism” keeping her down .
——
Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali-refugee-turned-Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, said in a published interview Friday that living in the U.S. under President Trump's administration is "an everyday assault."

“It’s an everyday assault. Every day, a part of your identity is threatened, demonized, and vilified. Trump is tapping into an ugly part of our society and freeing its ugliness. It’s been a challenge to try to figure out how to continue the inclusion; how to show up every day and make sure that people who identify with all the marginalized identities I carry, feel represented," Omar said.

"It’s transitioning from the idea of constantly resisting to insisting in upholding the values we share — that this is a society that was built on the idea that you could start anew. And what that celebrates is immigrant heritage," she said.

Nah. I'd be tempted to explain math and division to both of you. You seem happy wallowing in confusion so I'm gonna let you be.
