Follow on
Air Force spokesperson Laura McAndrews released a message to people thinking of actually trespassing in September
[Area 51] is an open training range for the US Air Force," she said in a release seen by the Independent. "We would
discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces," she continued, casually reminding any reader that there are probably quite a lot of guns on site.
The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets. -

And Trump was ticked off because the UK Ambassador bashed Trump for being inept in private leaked communications to the UK government, this attack on US Congresswomen is just additional proof of how inept Trump actually is.

His approach to making things better are more xenophobia for everyone and attempting to pass presidential decrees that people must attempt to ask for asylum in any third party country they've gone through before asking for asylum here.
Like what?

Makes perfect sense to me. If your in dire need of rescue and your home sucks, you go to your closest neighbor. One doesn't travel to another person thousands of miles and three countries away.
How does that satisfy the requirement of fear of persecution? It doesn't. Therefore it is not "seeking asylum"

Ilhan Omar may be a citizen but was not born in this country. So not so stupid after all. He is technically correct.

He said it about four people, three of whom were born in the US. And he told them to go back and fix their own corrupt governments, which is himself. So not technically correct, nor smart. As incorrect and dumb as it gets. He totally burned himself and got it wrong, all in one go.
So not correct in any way, just because one single person in a group was born abroad doesn't make that "home", nor does it apply to others. Sorry, but this doesn't help make him "less wrong" in any way.

In social context, if there is one man in a group of women, most people will say, "Come on guys, lets go!" Same context here.
Doesn't mean he is totally correct but correct enough.

Not the same. Telling a group of people to "go back where they came from" is first, hate speech and as anti-American as it can get, it's illegal in most places and has no place in a civilized society. But beyond that, it's in no way like the example you gave. In that example, it is all people going somewhere. In this example, it is telling a group of people something that technically applies to none of them and if you stretch it, maybe kinda of applies to one, but not really. So in no interpretation can it make sense.
