US judge rules Orsted can continue work on Rhode Island offshore wind project

Yes, thank you.  She married her brother so he could get in not the other way around.  That is the part that has been misstated, or conflated or what ever.

This first came up when the Squad arrived in Congress and were heavily scrutinized across the board.  That Omar would break an immigration law and still be in Congress and Constitutionally responsible for the very law(s) she willfully violated.  Her integrity and direct conflict of interest in regards to defending the country and its laws which is the primary purpose of her office, can rightfully be questioned.

The issue was dropped and lost in the news cycle 5 years ago.  I waited a day before I went back to read this chain from the beginning to try and figure where it went off the tracks and how to respond.

The initial challenge to me was simply did she marry or not her brother, not why.  Then came the why which was not on the actual post here.  You had to dig deeper to see that.  The why is definitely wrong.  It was indeed him and not her.  So if that is an actual quote in the tweet then Trump is wrong, close but wrong.  He needs to drop this from his repertoire STAT because people will fixate on it because it is easy to disprove.

This is a big issue for Omar though and if true, she can be stripped of her citizenship and be deported for immigration fraud if for no other reason.  She has not provided any details about who her siblings are keeping that information hidden, which only feeds to frenzy.

With all the other things circling her now with the welfare fraud just uncovered, she is going to have to do a lot of explaining of a whole bunch of things and naming her family members may be part of that too, simply for establishing business connections for conflicts of interest.  


 
Yes, however in the case of immigration fraud, family is still family if they are all directly related by blood at the very least somehow.  And then try to deny that it is not a marriage of convenience.

...Trump is wrong, close but wrong.  He needs to drop this from his repertoire STAT because people will fixate on it because it is easy to disprove.

I may well be wrong but as far as I understand it she married her brother so that he could stay in the USA - not so that she could stay. 
She was already in, so to speak, but for him to be able to stay she married him so that he could remain by virtue of being married to a citizen. 
That's what I understand to be the actual issue here. 

Either way, it's fraud. 

Also, in a culture where cousins regularly marry cousins etc the term brother might mean a brother from another mother or father or something.....perhaps not brother as in same father same mother....
I watched a very interesting interview with a UK based national health-type who was talking about, amongst other things, how the common practice of, particularly Pakistanis but not excluding other Muslims, first cousins marrying and breeding with each other has created a significant increase in observed genetic disorders including but not limited to seriously low IQ in offspring from such unions.
In Muslim culture this inbreeding is not uncommon.

I know a family of which the parents of the father were first cousin immigrants and he has an older sister with some impairments and a second daughter with pretty severe impairment.

If Omar did become a citizen under these circumstances you illustrated above, I will recognize that neither of her marriages were for the purpose of gaining citizenship.

Given all of the other problems she does face this one is the least of her problems and with that, the schtick about her marriages needs to be dropped. As with Trump, there are enough things to talk about her without having to make things up.
