Tucker Carlson Is Right: @IlhanMN is An Ungrateful Immigrant. humanevents.com/2019/07/10/tuc…

Via . @RaheemKassam:

“I loathe when people of a similar ethnic background or persuasion to me are ungrateful for their presence in the West.

Again, don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean immigrants can’t be constructive critics.”

As dutiful citizens, immigrants have as much right and as much responsibility as those born in the West or native to it to contribute to the cultural and political discourse.

But Omar and her ilk don’t do this.

Instead, they claw at and attempt to tear down that which made the West somewhere they wanted to live in the first instance.

This doesn’t only apply to immigrants, either. It’s deeply rooted in the tactics of the political left, making Omar’s interventions in favor of tearing America apart doubly potent.”

“Omar has not had to suffer any rivers of blood in America. Nor do most legal migrants.

But there is a major problem with mass migration as most people in overly-welcoming Western nations know.

Not only is ghettoization and lack of assimilation a problem. Along with it comes those very same troubles Powell warned about for the migrants: High poverty, high crime, disease, and radicalization.

Much of the time, this nation-within-a-nation mindset is sponsored by nefarious, external forces. The governments of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and others are known to financially support such endeavors to keep “their people” separate.

They pay for mosques, and prop up hardline imams to warn against integration.

Muslim communities aren’t the only ones like this. But increasingly, they are the ones who are shouted loudest about, in an attempt to draw a false equivalence between their current plight and that of Jews in Europe in the early 20th century.

It is a farcical and insulting comparison, but not one we should be surprised about given the gleeful perversion of history by the left.”

“According to the Pew Research Center, America has more immigrants than any other country in the world.

More than 40 million people in America were born elsewhere. That’s one in five of the world’s migrants.”

”And Americans like immigration, too. Study after study finds positive attitudes towards high-skilled, legal immigration.

But not all immigrants feel the same way about America.

Just 52 per cent are proficient in English, with just over one third speaking it “very well”.”

“Donald Trump’s “Muslim ban” resonated because many Americans understand some migrants will be more willing than others to become a part of the American fabric.”

“Sharia law – the underlying legal doctrines of Islam – makes one objectively far less likely to accept all part of being Western.

And attitudes towards Sharia are still highly favorable in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, the Palestinian territories, Niger, and, yes, in Somalia, where Ilhan Omar is from.

But not when Omar was growing up.

Her family, according to her own stories, were far more Islamic than her country was.

Strict Islamic adherents view America as “the Great Satan”. Again, not all. But the prevalent strains of Wahhabism and Salafism drill it into children from a young age.

It’s unlikely, however, that all of Omar’s intolerant positions are derived from her fealty to Islam alone.

Somalia, where she grew up, went through extreme strife following independence in 1960.

Omar’s family worked for the dictator Siad Barre, the leader of the Revolutionary Socialist Party.

Barre was a Leninist who attempted to merge Quranic diktats with those of Karl Marx.

He fled the country in 1991 after being overthrown. Her family left at the same time, finding refuge in Kenya, then a few years later, finding their way to America.

In an ominous foreshadowing way, the first thing Omar recalls telling her father is, “This doesn’t look like the America you promised.”

Maybe it was the false promises from her family, who worked for a socialist dictator back home.

Maybe it was fundamentalist Quranic interpretations (Omar recalls her family complaining about not being able to wear their hijabs growing up).

Or maybe it was both.

Islamism has long been a bedfellow of both fascism and communism, depending on what was more popular and pragmatic at the time.

The “problem” Carlson mentioned in his monologue on Fox News is as simply identifiable as many would have thought while watching last night.

“Maybe we’re importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours,” is probably as specific as you can get when dealing with an enigma like Omar.

Virulently anti-Western, a hardline socialist, and a identity politician who expresses more solidarity with her native community and religious kinfolk than she does with the USA, we can concur but one thing conclusively: Tucker is right. Ilhan Omar is an ungrateful immigrant.”
