Story summary

Ilhan Omar, a U.S. Representative and Democrat, faces growing allegations of immigration fraud involving what some claim was a phony marriage to obtain residency or citizenship status. Letters to the Editor published in the New York Post argue that if these claims are true, Omar should face legal consequences as with any other immigrant who breaks U.S. immigration laws. The debate centers around whether such allegations warrant investigation and prosecution given Omar's political influence and background as a naturalized citizen.

Narrative

If an immigrant breaks the law — whether by overstaying a visa or marrying one’s brother to get him a green card — all are offenses in the United States and should be prosecuted (“Feds ditched bro probe,” Oct. 30). I don’t care if it’s Rep. Ilhan Omar or anyone else: They should be sent back to their country of origin if they commit immigration fraud or gain citizenship under false pretenses.
