So you know what thread brought this question to mind. Saying someone isn't an American citizen and is an illegal immigrant isn't really something you have an opinion about. It takes facts to prove, it isn't subjective, it is objective. There are specific rules in order to become a naturalized citizen.
The reason I tagged you was because the retired poster said that threads about subjects that are objective or real don't require a link.

no idea

why not?
It takes facts in order to have an opinion on it. Omar was a naturalized citizen at 17. You can't just say you THINK she was a different person and lied about it. You need facts or some kind of source for that, not just something you pull out of thin air.
It's not like a discussion asking who you think the best and worst President is. Or say you think that the citizenship test and requirements should be changed.
Specifically concerning THIS person and this story -- there's enough smoke coming out of "mainstream news"...
For instance, her two apparently simultaneous marriages is a thing. And it seems the purpose might have been to get SOMEONE into the country with a "90 day fiance" marriage...
New documents revisit questions about Rep. Ilhan Omar's marriage history
So -- this is why USMB moderation is not in the business of truth checking.....
That doesn't make her not a U.S. citizen. She was smart NOT to talk about it, because then it just gives it validity, and no mate what she says people are going to continue to believe what they want to believe. So once she denies it once, that's all it takes, no reason to keep talking about it. Did you read the full article? It says the more people looked into it, the less they found. If she misused campaign funds then she should be punished for it, which is more than likely a fine. In this day and age of how easy it is to find information, if people could not find a smoking gun from 2016 to now... then there is none.
But no matter about OTHER claims. There's enough IGNORED elements to her story that reasonable folks DO want to explore... Therefore -- they can explore it on USMB...
It's more than campaign finance violations. THere is potentially IRS fraud and immigration fraud attached to the UN-debunked stories... And those stories are EMBARGOED by the mainstream media....
You're in an age when "appealing to authority" is ill-advised. Because "authority" now has agendas and political baggage.... Applies to the papers, the network "news" and most social media sites. We're not changing.. Period...
They have explored for THREE years and found no smoking gun. How long does it need to be played out? 8 years like birther crap?
