Nope. I think that's bad. Just like it was bad when Sen. Nadler essentially threatened to get Sebastian Gorka deported.
Well, lets see....
Gorka:
- Was found to have had a gun when he attempted to board a plane in Washington
- Had an arrest warrant issued against him by his native Hungary
- Has expressed support for a far-right groups that have been labeled a threat to minorities (Its possible that his failure to disclose his ties to those groups might have been illegal.)
(Note that while he claims to be an expert in international affairs, some people looking into his credentials have found them to be questionable at best... but then, lying by itself would't necessarily be a reason to have someone deported.)
So, Gorka has had multiple legal problems. On the other hand, I know of no similar legal problems for Ilhan Omar, either in her original country of Somalia or in the U.S. She has said mean things about the resident "snowflake-in-chief", and has made some questionable remarks about Israel, but neither of those is illegal. If perhaps it was found that she had spent her summers working for Somali pirates, or knocked over a liquor store in Minnesota then you might have a point. But unless that type of evidence presents itself, the 2 situations are not comparable.
It is not hypocritical to suggest people that might be violating serious laws should be deported, while at the same time saying its wrong to call for the deportation of individuals who have committed no crime. Frankly, if the Republicans really were the party of "law and order", they would be doing their best to have Gorka expelled themselves.

I could also point out that 'send them back' does have a special meaning when applied to members of visible minorities, as compared to those of european origin. Its similar to the way using the 'N' word is considered especially offensive when uttered by white people, while a statement like 'cracker' does not have the same effect when used to describe a white person... the group that has been subject to discrimination should have more respect given to attacks aimed at it.
