“This is the great lie of mass migration. You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies,” Miller stated on X. “No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”

Without immediately addressing Omar, Miller posted on X saying, with out proof, that the “entire Somali refugee program is predicated on a lie.” Miller’s spouse, Katie Miller, had a extra direct response.

“Every time Ilhan Omar goes on TV it increases public support to deport all Somalis,” she posted, additionally unsubstantiated.

The National Guard capturing led President Donald Trump to halt all asylum choices and enhance his assaults on immigrants, focusing final week on the Somali neighborhood. The president stated that Somalia is “not even a nation,” and that the nation’s refugees are “garbage,” and “complain and do nothing but bitch.”

“It’s completely disgusting. These are Americans that he is calling garbage,” Omar instructed CBS. “I think it’s also really important for us to remember that this kind of hateful rhetoric and this level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions by people who listen to the president.”
