Holy moly…I’m still processing this with a headache.
Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Kaohly Vang Her admitted on the floor that she’s in the United States illegally:
And because there was no, like, if you were a child of somebody worked for the CIA, the only people that had names to come to the US were if you were in the direct military, and you worked for the CIA or you worked for USAID and, which is why it’s so personal to me that USAID is getting defunded, but we did not do either one of those. My parents Christian organization did not.
And so what my father did was one of our uncles worked for USAID and because his mother had died, my father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother, and so I am illegal in this country.
My parents are illegal here in this country. And when we were fleeing that situation, never at one time did my family say, let’s look at which state has the greatest welfare, which state has the greatest benefit because that’s the state we are going to go.
Some further context here.
I honestly doubt this Representative is here illegally (at this point) but she clear admits to her family committing immigration fraud to be here in the U.S.

William Bornhoft at Patch.com wrote that Her is “reportedly a naturalized citizen.”
Her was born in Laos. She came to America at four-years-old with her family as refugees.
Minnesota Republican state Rep. Walter Hudson wants an investigation.
I have to agree with Hudson’s statement: “It was dropped so casually that you have to wonder whether she understands what she said.”
Um… one of our House Democrat colleagues today shamelessly declared that she is "illegal in this country."
It was dropped so casually that you have to wonder whether she understands what she said.
Regardless, this requires immediate investigation. pic.twitter.com/WfIspCsiiU

It looks like Her gave the speech during a debate whether to repeal MinnesotaCare eligibility for illegal aliens.
Well…that’s exactly what the legislature did.
Even DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party) House Leader Melissa Hortman voted to repeal the measure.
🚨 BREAKING: The Minnesota House just voted to REPEAL free healthcare for illegal aliens!
This comes after a Democrat lawmaker admitted on the House floor to being in the country illegally.

The Senate then passed it, and now it heads to Gov. Tim Walz, who promised to sign the bill:
After an emotional near four-hour debate, the House aroved the bill 68-65. Under the agreement, the top House Democratic leader, Melissa Hortman, of Brooklyn Park, was the only member of her caucus to vote yes. The bill then went to the Senate, where it passed 37-30. Democratic Majority Leader Erin Murphy, of St. Paul, called it “a wound on the soul of Minnesota,” but kept her promise to vote yes as part of the deal, calling it “among the most painful votes I’ve ever taken.”
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, who insisted on maintaining eligibility for children who aren’t in the country legally, has promised to sign the legislation, and all 13 other bills scheduled for action in the special session, to complete a $66 billion, two-year budget that will take effect July 1.
Murphy and three other DFL senators voted for the bill: Rob Kupec, An Rest, and Grant Hauschild.

“Holy moly…I’m still processing this with a headache.”
You’re telling me. It reads like “I’m My Own Grandpa.”
“because his mother had died, my father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother”
Is she saying that her father claimed his mother-in-law as his mother?
Because that’s the only way I can parse this.
That is what I’m guessing. I thought that was weird, too.
That’s the way I take it, too.
She says her family didn’t look at which states had the best welfare benefits back when they arrived, but there’s no way that it and sanctuary status aren’t taken into consideration by others, especially now with the internet.
As part of the budget agreement, children in MN illegally will continue to be covered under MinnesotaCare.
That’s why I made sure to put adults in the headline.
Sorry about that!
Sorry about voting illegally too.
Quick addition that Minnesota, along with DC, PR, and 17 other states, will grant drivers licenses to people without proof of immigration status. In MN, they have to pass the written and driving tests. But don’t think that isn’t taken into consideration by people deciding where to go.
Neither of my grandmothers’ families also did not take welfare benefits into account when they came to America. Because there weren’t any pre-WWI.
I listened to it a fourth time and yeah, that’s what she says. I’m hoping she met her dad claimed his MIL as his mother or else my head is going to explode.
Thanks for sorting it out. I got lost.
Frankly, of all the immigration government enabled/assisted fraud that goes on, this one bothers me not much.
What bothers me is that she is an illegal… and a state representative.
Well she claims she is an illegal alien… and maybe she is… but maybe she is looking grab ‘status’ in the d/prog diversity olympics.
An on the record interview with FBI seems appropriate. If she insists she and her family lied in gaining entry/permission to remain in the USA then they can face the consequences. She would potentially face additional issues related to becoming a candidate and holding office if we assume that MN statutes restrict candidacy/holding office to US Citizens.
Take her public claims at face value to.spur an investigation and then prosecute if crimes found and deport would be the best way to put an end to performative clout chasing sob stories.
She isn’t illegal. She just said it for effect, and to try to imply that most illegals are like her. But the fact is that regardless of what her father put down on a form decades ago, her naturalization was valid and she’s a citizen.
And it’s likely that her father’s misstatement was immaterial anyway, and thus not perjury and did not affect the legality of their original immigration.
Meh, lets be willing to take folks public claims at face value in these instances and have a thorough investigation to.discover the facts.
I believe she is trolling for clout in the diversity olympics but my belief is not conclusive proof. Only a thorough investigation, questioning under oath and review of documents and statements or misstatements in the immigration process will reveal whether this family made false claims/representations to secure a lawful status and eventual naturalization in the USA.
If lies/misrepresentations are found it casts every subjective factor/claim into doubt and simultaneously removes any basis to give the family the benefit of the doubt. Revocation of naturalization and deportation isn’t new and should, IMO, be employed far more often and more vigorously against those who lie in any manner while attempting to.secure permission to enter or.remain in the USA.
Do the investigation. If she was clout chasing by lying to the MN HoR then announce that to the public and let the MN HoR ethics committee deal with it and ultimately the voters of MN to decide if she warrants removal from office. But don’t shy away from doing the investigation instead go full speed to determine if she must be stripped of Citizenship and deported …or if she’s just a another lying clout chasing d/prog who didn’t believe that her lies would have any serious consequences.
How do you know?
Or is this just what your masters demand?
She was lying about her dad lying. She’d never lie about that.
Go away, Democrat.
If she is a naturalized US citizen, she needs to show proof of citizenship and the discussion is over.
She’s the one who said, on the floor of the State House of Representatives, that she is an illegal alien. That statement is now a matter of public record. If, as some maintain, this was just a “Look At Me” flapping of the gums, the burden to prove citizenship is now on her. She can provide paperwork proving her naturalization or she can contact the (I believe) US State Department to obtain such proof.
Alternatively, she really is an illegal, not qualified for the office in the first place, and has defrauded the constituents who voted for her as an illegal candidate.
Either way, it’s on her now.
Azathoth, go away, liar. Go back to Hell where you belong. Every word Azathoth wrote is a lie.
Idonttweet, that she was naturalized is not in dispute, so there’s no point in making her produce the paperwork that no one doubts exists.
What she said was that since her father made a trivial misstatement when they first came to the USA, that makes her an illegal immigrant regardless of her current citizenship. But she’s wrong, and she knows it herself.
At worst, she was an illegal immigrant before she became a citizen; but since that illegality was not her doing it would not have affected her eligibility for naturalization.
But in reality it wouldn’t even be that, since a trivial misstatement is not perjury and doesn’t invalidate the legality of an immigration.
Minnesota state lawmaker admits she came to U.S. illegally — ‘My family falsified paperwork.’ Three hours later, ‘I am a citizen. I was lying.’
Not sure what she is about but I’m sure more will come out. On the surface, lumping her family with “illegals” likely dishonors her family. Her grandfather is said to have fought with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam war. The mountain people of Laos and Vietnam fought with the American military during the war and were severely persecuted after the American withdrawal. Her family likely came t0 the US under the “Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1975.”
OK, she’s definitely Hmong. Won’t matter what nation she comes from,. In the Hmong culture there are 18 clan/family names. Both Vang and Her are two of those 18 names. So she is Hmong.
Don’t know about her family background or when she got here or whoever her parents were or are got here, but if they arrived in the mid 70s, there was a special process Hmong’s that was outside normal processing. Why? The help they had given to the US military.
By the way, she is definitely mom. Her last.
The Minnesota constitution requires that state legislators be qualified voters of the state, and that qualified voters must be citizens. Minnesota State Constitution, Art. IV, §6, and Art. VII, §1, respectively.
Seems to me that, if her statement is true, she is not and never has been a valid member of the State House, and her seat is vacant. Additionally, any vote she has cast in any election was illegal and any vote or action she has cast or taken as a member of the State House is void.
Am I missing something?
What you’re missing is that regardless of what she claims her father did decades ago, she’s a US citizen. She’s just claiming the “illegal” status for attention and effect. It’s her “I am Spartacus” moment.
What is the basis for asserting she is a naturalized citizen? There is a single reference to a story in a local news site:
No support for that assertion is given. If she is a naturalized citizen, fine. But, as I said, if her statement is true, she’s got some ‘splainin to do.
“[N]ever at one time did my family say, let’s look at which state has the greatest welfare, which state has the greatest benefit because that’s the state we are going to go.”
How in the world would she know what points her parents considered??? She was 4 fricking years old at the time.
I don’t understand how the father listing her grandmother (presumably the father’s mother-in-law) affects the citizenship of this representative. If she believes that she is not a citizen they why did she claim to be a citizen to run for office? A Christian organization is mentioned but it is not clear that she is a Christian. But if she is, how does she square her story with her faith?
On another note, it is fascinating to see the left extol the virtues of USAID when it was a cover for the CIA which at least at that time the left thought reprehensible. In reality, capitalism has pulled a lot more people out of poverty than anything that the USAID ever dreamed of much less actually did.
Ilhan Omar married her brother so he could immigrate here and “get his papers”.
The case was dropped due to political pressure and she is, to this day, disgracing the United States Congress.
Immigration fraud cases like this can, and often do, result in citizenship being revoked followed by deportation.
But, clearly, she is above the law. So is her brother/husband.
No, it cannot. Her naturalization was valid. Nothing she did after that can possibly affect its validity.
No matter how many times you deny it, the plain fact remains, a matter of settled and undisputed law: US citizenship, once validly obtained, whether through birth or naturalization, can never be revoked no matter what.
Naturally if someone never was a citizen in the first place, they remain not a citizen, and if the government can prove it it can revoke any documents that were mistakenly issued and were never valid, and it can deport the alien as it always could have had it known the truth.
That’s what happened to Rasmea Odeh, whose naturalization was never valid because it was obtained by fraud. It also happened to Hoda Muthana, who was born in the USA but turned out not to be a citizen by birth, because at the time she was born her family had diplomatic immunity.
None of this is relevant to Omar, because there is no suspicion that her naturalization was invalid. Any immigration fraud she may have engaged in after that can’t change her status.
It is suggested she also committed immigration fraud for her own status.
No, it is not. There is no possibility of that.
She needs to be deported, period.
She can’t be deported. She’s a US citizen no matter what she claims.
Not “even”. There was a deal that required the Dems to supply one vote to pass it in the House, so the leader was the designated sacrifice. Likewise the senate leader and two other Dem senators voted for it, reluctantly and under protest, because that was the deal. So there’s been no change of heart by any of the Dems. They hate this and would like not to have passed it, but they had to in order to get what they wanted out of the deal. In other words the Republicans gave something else up in order to pass this.
OMG, you mean successful politics requires compromise? The horror!
The Hmong culture has 18 last names. Vang and Her are two of those last names. If she arrived somewhere in the mid-1970s, those Hmong were expedited into the US and were given special channels because of the work with American soldiers. She may or may not be illegal. They have to get to the point when she came, what her family did, etc.
then she is in violation of the rico laws at least in spirit
she has gained benefits by illegal actions
and the left is very fond of saying innocent white people of today are racists b/c they gained benefits by their ancestors being slave owners ( which of course is bs for millions of white americans)
her claim to be illegal doesnt have to be true, at this point in time
she is a lefty so she is commiserating with her victims for life dnc and therefor
by any means necessary is in play
An example of Democrats being OK wit lying if it advances their agenda. Some call this taqiyya.
She is very likely lying. All of the “boat people” were taken care of in various laws through about 1980. They entirely assimilated and became part of our great big stew pot.
Oh, and they were absolutely refugees seeking asylum. Not this weak sister carp today.
Same that some of their kids turned into commies after growing up.
