Barack Obama: “No discrimination or unfair treatment based on one's service will be tolerated.”

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

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

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.

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.
