admin Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex, called out Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, over a now-deleted tweet that suggested having a merit-based immigration system would disadvantage Latino migrants. Earlier this month, President Trump unveiled his plans for immigration reform, including the installation of a merit-based system that grants migrants entry into the United States based on their trade, skill level, and education. On Tuesday night, Omar slammed Trump's proposal in a tweet that has since been deleted from her Twitter page. View image on Twitter Ryan Saavedra ✔@RealSaavedra Democrat Rep.

"Our immigration policies shouldn't be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry. We should welcome immigrants to our country and offer a simple way to citizenship." That sparked a ton of blowback from critics.

Cruz also weighed in and called out the Democratic Party for apparently believing that "Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration." Ted Cruz ✔@tedcruz As the son of a Cuban immigrant whose Dad came to get a math degree & become a computer programmer, I’m troubled that Dems seem to believe Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration.
