Barack Obama: “I guarantee you we're going to get the job done.”

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.

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.
