Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) late on Tuesday evening after she suggested that Latinos could not measure up in a “merit-based” immigration system.
Omar, who immediately deleted the tweet after many called her a racist, wrote: “A ‘merit based’ immigration policy is fueled by racism toward the Latinx community. Our immigration policies shouldn’t be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry. We should welcome immigrants to our country and offer a simple pathway to citizenship.”
