Omar, who spent several years growing up in a refugee camp, rose to become the first Somali-American lawmaker to be elected to Congress.
Tucker Carlson launched another tirade against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar during his Fox News show Friday, railing against the Somali-born lawmaker’s opposition to Trump’s new immigration proposal and slamming her as “a symbol of American’s failed immigration system.”
Crafted by Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, the proposal includes a point scale that prioritizes highly-skilled workers who pass civic exams and learn English over immigrants who have family connections to the U.S. “Trump's immigration plan would have a devastating effect on millions around the world who, like me, have dreams of coming to this land of opportunity,” she said. “Our nation should be a beacon of hope to the world. We should be welcoming immigrants, not treating them like criminals.”
