“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” she stated during a debate this past June on the floor of the Minnesota House of Representatives concerning the topic of Medicaid eligibility for illegal migrants. So she's either a liar or living in this country and serving to represent its people while not being a citizen. Neither of these options is good or preferable. “I tell you this story because I want you to think about who it is that you are calling illegal,” she added. “My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here.” Later that same day, she spoke with the Minnesota Reformer and said she and her parents are American citizens, simply making up the story to inspire empathy from her Republican colleagues. So she told a lie to make people relate to her, and the push she and her fellow Democrats were making for providing those here illegally with free health care? Nobody with two fully functioning brain cells is going to buy that story. The truth is likely that she let the truth come out while moved with emotion over the subject and only later realized the kind of damage such a revelation could do to her reputation. She then said that, technically, her dad broke the law when filling out the refugee paperwork for her family. “Technically, you would say my father broke the law, right? But we would have come anyway,” the Democratic state representative told the news outlet. Her administration in St. Paul will kick off in January 2026. She'll lead a city of 300,000 residents. She is the first woman and first member of the Hmong community to serve in the position. Before challenging the incumbent, she served as part of his administration. | |
