Republican lawmaker’s call to denaturalize and deport Democrat

A recent remark from a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives has caught fire prompting shocking comments from some of her congressional colleagues. Democratic Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (pictured) stated during a press conference in Mexico over the weekend, ‘I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.’

That comment sparked ire from several Republicans in the MAGA wing of the party, as President Donald Trump pushes his ‘American First’ vision. Tennessee Republican Representative Andy Ogles (pictured) wrote on X ‘Denaturalize, deport, and kick her off Homeland Committee. We know where her allegiances lie.’ The Department of Homeland Security’s official X account responded to the video by posting a Theodore Roosevelt quote about American allegiance and condemning divided loyalties.

Conservative commentator Rogan O’Handley, who posts under the handle @DC_Draino on X wrote: ‘this is why we must abolish birthright citizenship.’ O’Handley also added that ‘she must be stripped of her citizenship and deported along with her entire illegal alien family.’

Another Trump aligned X account, Veterans for America First posting on X under @VFAFWarroom noted that Ramirez’s ‘statement alone shows where her loyalty lies. She needs to be expelled from Congress and Deported!’ Ramirez is not the only member of the Congress to have her allegiances to America questioned in a high profile manner.

Fellow Democrat Ilhan Omar (pictured), a Somalian-born member of the progressive ‘Squad,’ was removed from the House Foreign Affairs committee in 2023 after her objectivity was questioned. Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill circulated a fundraising email earlier this year titled ‘Petition: Deport Ilhan Omar,’ calling for supporters to sign a petition for Omar to be deported to Somalia . It read, ‘we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.’

The Republican push to implement Trump’s immigration agenda has forced some wild responses from Democrats during the last few months. Vermont Democrat Becca Balint landed in hot water earlier this summer after making derogatory remarks about migrants while attempting to make a case for why immigration in the United States shouldn’t be restricted. Balint made the remarks during a constituent town hall in Newport, Vermont, that took place on May 28. ‘If we don’t have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here … we’re not going to have anybody around to wipe our [expletive] because we don’t have enough people,’ Balint said at the time.

On the other coast, California Senator Alex Padilla got himself thrown out of a press conference held by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in LA earlier back in June. The spectacle occurred after he reportedly did not identify himself as a member of Congress during the event, and lunged towards the front of the room where Noem was speaking. Padilla was forcefully removed and handcuffed by officers as he tried to question Noem about immigration raids.
