Democrat Rep. Jayapal claims Somalis, Indians, Latin Americans, 'built this country” and made it 'what it is today'
By Eric Utter

Washington state Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal recently appeared on MS NOW’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” show to claim  that deporting Somalians will hurt America economically. This, in the face of the massive Minnesota scandals involving Somalis and more than a billion dollars in fraud.

What did we here in America do before all the Somalis came here in the past two or three decades?

Oh yeah, we defeated the British and became the strongest, freest, greatest country the Earth had ever known, with more entrepreneurs and inventions to our credit than any other nation.

Yet, now we are being massively defrauded by Somalis (among a few others), more than half of whom are on the public dole. In no way, shape, or form would deporting every last Somali be a negative for the U.S. economy.

Jayapal said: “The majority of Americans across the country, regardless of political party, know that immigrants from all over the world, Somalia, India, wherever they’re from, Latin America, Africa, that immigrants have built this country and make this country what it is today and so Americans are not accepting this.” Sure, Pramila.

Now tell us the one about the three bears.

So did a lot of deplorable white dudes.

American law and government has its origins in English Law, which has its origins in Dane Law.

Somalis, Indians, and Latin Americans came after the Native Americans, English, French, Dutch, Africans, Germans, Scottish, Irish, Italians, Chinese, and Eastern Europeans had already built a nation out of wilderness.

Somalis, Indians, and Latin Americans showed up late to the party and did not bring anything for the hosts.

Indians fought for the British.  Some Latin Americans fought for the Americans.  How many Somalis fought for the Allies in WWII?  Today, the Somalis would be fighting on the side of the Nazi's.

Aw prairie shit....Don't forget the Irish.

The only ones who would have a fraction of a claim would be the Latinos. The rest were all colonies of European powers until after WWII.

I truthfully have no idea hhow much any of who she claimed had didly to do with building America. The Mexicans, the Native Americans(first forced , then some of the best high iron workers) Europeans from almost every country, and yes the Irish. I haven’t a clue how many Somalis were brought into America as slaves bur somehow I doubt they were many if any at all….so no they didn’t build America, and never read any history about Hindus in the revolution or tales of the nation. Big surprise Jaypal is a lying POS, she should be required to backup her Buulshiite claims.

The founders and others built the foundation. Others came and contributed. Latin Americans contributed in many states since they had been living there for years.

Dear Ms. Jayapal...please tell me how many Somalis came to this country and when.

[mountaineer]

None of those people "built" this nation. She is stupid and dishonest.

Yabbut, after the 17th Amendment, we've had another herd in different pasture, just two to the State over on that side of the fence.

Exactly.   The 17th Amendment did horrendous damage to this country.

It's still doing it.

Maybe not the economy, but there is at least one Somali we really, really want to stay:  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the implacable critic of both Islam and her ancestral country's culture.  If anyone asks why we sent most of her countrymen packing (should we have the sense to do that) she's better able to explain why it was a good idea than most Americans of any political stripe are.
