Ilhan Omar wants to bring in UN to deal with southern border crisis
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Aug. 27 that she wants the United States to bring in the United Nations to address the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, an action that would see America’s national sovereignty undermined.
The freshman congresswoman made the comment during a community forum in south Minneapolis on immigration where she continued to accuse the United States of committing “human rights violations” against illegal immigrants.
“Listen folks, we’re really losing our moral high ground,” Omar said. “It doesn’t make any sense for us to be committing these kinds of human rights violations, to have these policies in the way that we interact with migrants and asylum seekers.
“We should do what any other country does by dealing with this situation in a serious way. So, we have to bring in the United Nations High Commissioner [for] Refugees, an agency that has the expertise and the training to handle massive flows of refugees humanely,” she added.
Omar has been an outspoken critic of the handling of illegal immigrants at the southern border, repeatedly accusing immigration law enforcement of inhumane treatment of detainees at border facilities.
In February, she called on fellow Democrats to defund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—a federal department created in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack that took thousands of American lives. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are both components of the DHS.
In June, Omar voted against an emergency border aid package aimed at easing a cash crunch at federal agencies that care for migrants, after their facilities and resources were overwhelmed by an influx of illegal immigrants in recent months.
