Barack Obama: “The proposed funding levels would lead to hundreds of thousands of participants being cut from the Special Supplemental…”

The effort, he said, “should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views.”

When we choose, when we make that decision, I do believe – and there is evidence for this – that the world gets incrementally better, and that is a worthy goal and it’s worth fighting for.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen.

Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.
