Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under scrutiny due to questions about her immigration status and the accuracy of her birth year. Former congressional candidate AJ Kern has raised concerns regarding discrepancies in Omar's claims related to her citizenship, age, and naturalization process.
1. Allegations of Immigration Fraud:
• Omar's immigration status has been called into question by President Donald Trump, who has indicated that she is being investigated for possible immigration fraud.
• AJ Kern has argued that evidence related to Omar’s personal history has been ignored.
2. Birth Year Discrepancy:
• Omar has stated she became a U. S. citizen at age 17, but Kern claims that public records suggest she was actually 18 in 2000 when her father applied for citizenship.
• Kern found that Omar's staff requested to change her birth year from 1981 to 1982 just days after a video challenged her age claim.
3. Request to Change Birth Records:
• The Minnesota Legislative Reference Library was contacted by Omar's office in 2019 to update her birth year.
• Kern asserts that this change undermines her claim about obtaining citizenship at age 17, as it places her two years beyond the age limit to gain citizenship through her father at that time.
4. Lack of Documentation:
• Kern has not found any official records confirming that Omar’s father became a naturalized U. S. citizen.
• This absence of documentation raises further questions about the validity of Omar’s claimed citizenship status.
5. Election Filing Procedures:
• Kern discovered that when candidates file to run for office in Minnesota, the state does not verify their U. S. citizenship.
• This lack of verification could allow individuals with questionable immigration statuses to run for office.
6. Call for Investigation:
• Despite raising these issues, Omar has not publicly addressed Kern's claims.
• Kern believes that enough evidence exists to warrant a congressional inquiry into Omar's citizenship status.
AJ Kern's research into Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's immigration status raises significant questions about her claims regarding her citizenship and age. Despite the allegations and the lack of verification regarding her father's naturalization, Congresswoman Omar has not responded to these challenges, leaving the issue unresolved. Kern advocates for a federal investigation to clarify Omar's citizenship and questions the existing protocols that allow candidates to run for office without citizenship verification.
