If they were constantly complaining about how things are in America, then I'd bet he would.

ANd I have noticed that in the forum too. And most of the times they are GOP supporters.

I would treat it as lack of courtesy or manners than anything else.

And where would be Trump asked to go back ?? Nazi Germany??

But NOBODY ever tells tells them to their face, or actually behind their backs, to "go back where you came from."

What would you say to my 3 white American co-workers where their ancestors have been here forever?

That's what I thought.
This isn't rocket science You would tell them that they are free to apply to immigrate to another country.

You bought into the claim that "the squad" are all women of "color". Arabs are caucasians. AOC clearly is also. AOC is of Puerto Rican descent. Not all PRs are of "color".

AOC stated that she is a mixture of European, African and Amerindian.

And Caucasian doesn’t always mean white skin either.

Trump was wrong, but the left only gets bent, when they aren't the ones saying it. The hypocrisy screams.

Next
Don’t try it. You were talking about people who were COMPLAINING about this country. That has nothing to do with the article. Read it.

Here is the fun part.
This woman is a Black immigrant !!! The left likes to judge so much on skin color and this lovely lady has AOC beat after AOC's best day at the beach soaking up the sun !!!
Where Scherie Murray really shines is calm demeaner, great attitude, experienced, articulate, attractive and likeable !!! What is she missing ? All the hate, outrage and disrespect AOC has for America !!!


Republican immigrant from Jamaica ready to take on AOC: 'I love this country'

Murray, 38, said her campaign will be about "prioritizing policies" and issues that affect the people of the Bronx and Queens district, like comprehensive immigration reform, infrastructure, and education.

Taking sharp jabs at the 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez, Murray said she feels the freshman Democrat is neglecting her constituents in a “limelight campaign,” and that despite it being an overwhelmingly Democratic district, she is “running a campaign to win.”
