Ilhan Omar DID marry her brother - reveals Somali community leader

If you live in or have connection to immigrant communities, you know very well that family based immigration fraud is rampant - cases involving fraudulent family relationships in order to get immigration benefit are dime a dozen.

I think that's precisely what happened here. Unlike some who thinks Omar actually married her brother to "start a family", I do not think they had any such plans. This is most likely what happened - when Omar's family was granted asylum, her brother aged out (over 21), or, was already married, and couldn't immigrate with the rest of the family. Now, married children or over 21 children of US citizens can come to US as legal permanent resident but the wait is over 10 years, due to the preference category system. However, there is no wait for spouse of USC, just the application processing time which is about 3 months. So, the motive is clear.

What do you think?

If it did happen, nobody cares.

Should we care?

EWWW

No we should not. Not our problem.

Our = ?

You're probably thinking they did all the husband/wife things. She was still living with her "ex" husband (who she later "re" married after divorcing her brother) at the same time she was married to her brother.

The evidence seems a little thin, more likely someone out to make quick buck for their "shock" story.

the suspicious thing is that its something that's very easily disproved if false. These rumours have been stickign around for a while now, with bits of evidence coming in, but nothing conclusive. If it wasn't true it would be very easy for her to provide the passports/birth certificates and migration papers that prove it 100% false.

The rumours of Obama being born in Kenya stuck around for a while as well, American politics loves character assassinations whether true or not someone will believe it.

true.. but after his birth certificate was published, it moved to the fringes. I imagine the same thing would happen here.. obviously there will always be some crazy people who will disbelieve anything she provides, but the majority, like with obama, would accept the proof if it was provided.

These allegations are unproven and are being pounced on because racist men cannot bear so see a woman in a hijab in such power and influence - she's here to stay, sorry

This was first published in the Star Tribune, one of the most absolutely left wing newspapers in the US. The allegations were made by other Somalis.

She lived with both of her husband's at the SAME ADDRESS at the SAME TIME. That's documented in their taxes. Not to mention, she filed taxes jointly with her former husband WHILE being married to her "brother". These are documented.

Consider that in order to enter the US her alleged brother would have had to go through the rigorous US immigration system and vetting. If she married her brother don't you think they would have picked up on that?
