Ilhan Omar Accused of Immigration Fraud and Lying About Birth Year

Allegations of Immigration Fraud

• 🔍 Investigators are reportedly examining Ilhan Omar for potential immigration fraud related to her marriage certificates.
• 🗣️ Fraud investigator Tom Homan stated there is "no doubt" of immigration fraud after reviewing a file concerning Omar.
• ❌ Ilhan Omar responded to the allegations by stating she doesn't know what they would be investigating and believes they would find nothing.

Questioning Citizenship Legitimacy

• 📜 New information uncovered by a Minnesota conservative alleges Omar lied about her birth year, which could question the legitimacy of her citizenship.
• 📅 Archived Minnesota legislative records list Omar's birth date as October 4th, 1981, while an updated version lists it as 1982.
• ⚖️ The discrepancy in birth year is significant because it impacts the pathway through which she could have obtained citizenship.

Citizenship Pathways and Eligibility

• 🛂 For foreign-born children, citizenship can be acquired, derived, or applied for.
• ❌ Acquisition is ruled out as neither parent was a US citizen when Omar was born in Somalia.
• ❌ Derivation is also ruled out as she would have been over 18 by February 27th, 2001, even with the 1982 birth year.
• 💡 The only applicable pathway is application under section 322 of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, which requires the child to be under 18 when the parent naturalizes.
• ⏳ If Omar was born in 1981, she would have been an adult when her father became eligible for citizenship in 2000, making her ineligible for this path.
• ✅ Changing her birth year to 1982 would make her appear 17 before October 2000, fitting the criteria for this citizenship pathway.

Calls for Investigation and Action

• 🏛️ Calls are being made for the House Ethics Committee, led by Chairman Michael Guest, to investigate Omar's birth date and citizenship.
• ⚖️ The Department of Justice is urged to investigate if Omar lied about her birth date to obtain citizenship, which could lead to revocation under Title 8 of the US Code.
• 🚢 If denaturalized, ICE is called upon to initiate removal proceedings against her.
• 📢 Republicans are urged to vote to expel Omar for alleged fraud and corruption, regardless of the difficulty in achieving the necessary vote count.
