ILL IMM Citizens Call For ICE to Arrest Democrat Minnesota State Rep. After She Admits to Being an Illegal Alien in Shocking House Floor Speech

Ragnarok

On and On, South of Heaven
A Democrat Minnesota State Rep. on Monday admitted to being an illegal alien on the Minnesota house floor.

“My father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother and so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Democrat state Rep. Kaohly Vang Her said.

According to Rep. Kaohly Van Her’s website, her family came to the US as refugees from Laos.

“My name is Kaohly Vang Her. Born in Laos, my family came to the United States as refugees when I was four years old. I grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin, a paper town where my father worked at the local paper factory and my mother as a teacher’s aide. As our family expanded, my parents worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. There were periods of my life where my family struggled financially but my parents never gave up on the dream of what America could provide,” Vang Her says on her website.

Vang Her made the remarks during a hearing on a bill for modifying MinnesotaCare coverage eligibility to include illegal aliens.

Citizens called for ICE to arrest Vang Her.

The silly bitch. GOOD.
The Minnesota House sits on a knife's edge between DFL and Republican. 67 to 67.
Haha. Get this twit out of the chamber. NOW. The legislature is sitting in special session today to vote in the budget. We could do with a Republican majority in the House, as in immediately.

Frankly, whatever they do today - if she doesn't step down, the whole mess will hit the courts as soon as somebody can file. Lovin' it. :lol:

How stupid!

Now I'm wondering how many others there are. I thought that there was a vetting process?
I had to be vetted before I could work at the poll. I would think the party would check on potential elected officials.

Maybe not.
Sounds like the fraud goes back a couple generations. Father and grandmother? Maybe they don't look that far into the past - who knows. But this dingbat wasn't born here. Came over when she was four.

After Obunghole got in, that was the green light for any and all illegals to run for whatever office. Vetting be damned.

Between the LA insurrection and a thousand examples of the above type of corruption, I think some are simply holding onto the naïve hope that this can all be solved with talk…it can’t.

This wishful thinking isn’t becoming of adults, and as much as I abhor violence, it exists in a fallen world like our because it works…sometimes it’s the only thing that does work.

The longer the squeamish leaders hold back the sword, the more chaos there will be and the more bloodshed will result if there is to be any solution to this civil divide.

This was not a wise thing for her to say. As someone who worked in security clearance forms in the early 1990s, I can say that having weird paperwork for people evacuated or refugees that came out of Asia in the bloodbaths in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam is not uncommon.

This often wasn't intentional fraud so much as desperation, mix-ups, or a lack of paperwork. Like a young child carried out in the arms of an older sister while the rest of the family was slaughtered in front of her, then claiming her as her daughter to get her to safety. Before the days of DNA, such incidents occurred frequently in wars, and no one was ever aware.

I just made that one up, but it is close to a case I dealt with (but different enough not to identify anyone). Usually, in regular times, when these situations were discovered, often decades after the fact, immigration (sometimes with the help of a congressional representative) was pretty effective in ensuring the person was naturalized correctly. Most of the time, they still qualified under the original statutes for refugees; there had been either honest mistakes or cover-ups for them when they were young kids. Usually, to save their very lives.

Suppose this woman is now a naturalized citizen. In that case, that is probably what happened in her family, but stating this in a public forum on the floor of her legislature without a whole and honest explanation isn't a good look. Now, if there are any issues, her position is likely to be in jeopardy. If things were done legally to clear up the mess, she would be unlikely to be deported. However, under the current political climate, if they were not, she might be. I hope she enjoys living in Asia or wherever she can find to move.

This also makes it difficult for people, who, though not by their fault, discover they are in this situation.

Now, back to the LA Every-generational riots that happen about every 20 years or so, since my childhood. I remember tanks and soldiers at the local shopping center (1960s), and I was in San Francisco for the mirror riots about Rodney King (1990s).

This time, I fear that forces of several sorts are making things much worse than usual, and the situation is likely to spread to other cities (like the early 1960s) and risks getting out of control. But I don't for a moment think this is all spontaneous; it has all the marks of something being encouraged and supported from the outside.

Throw her ass, as well as any illegal staffers, in jail, to be deported soonest. In fact, if there are any others in their state house that are illegals, toss them in the net too. Illegals like this are traitors, too!

‘I’m a citizen,’ clarifies Minnesota Democrat after saying she came to the U.S. illegally

By: Michelle Griffith - June 9, 2025 6:35 pm

Rep. Kaohly Her, DFL-St. Paul, revealed a stunning detail about herself during a debate on the Minnesota House floor Monday: She came to the United States as a child illegally.

“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Her said.

Her said she was trying to inspire empathy in her Republican colleagues, who were about to vote to take away state-funded health care for adults in Minnesota without permanent legal status.

“I tell you this story because I want you to think about who it is that you are calling illegal,” Her told House Republicans on the floor. “My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here. We had more privileges and more ability, which is why we came here in that way.”

The fourth-term lawmaker’s remarks quickly ignited a firestorm in right-wing media, which questioned her legal status and ability to cast a vote in U.S. elections. One of her Republican colleagues, Rep. Walter Hudson, R-Albertville, called for her to be investigated, and she’s already receiving threats and insults on social media.

In an interview with the Reformer, Her clarified that she and her parents are U.S. citizens. Her is a refugee from Laos and moved to the U.S. when she was three. Her’s parents took their U.S. citizenship test, and Her became a citizen as a minor when she was in middle school, she said.

Her said her father technically broke the law when he filled out paperwork for the family to come to the U.S. as refugees. He did so to expedite the process to come to the U.S., though they would have come to America anyway.

Her came to America along with a wave of Hmong refugees, who were critical allies to the United States during the Vietnam War and the “secret war” in Laos, assisting in intelligence operations, disrupting north Vietnamese supply routes and combating communism’s spread through Southeast Asia. Her’s grandfather was a colonel in the war, she said. As American allies, they faced violent recriminations from the communists after the war, which is why the U.S. welcomed them here, especially through laws like the Refugee Act of 1980.

Her’s father worked at the U.S. consulate, and he processed their family’s paperwork in a way to expedite their timeline to immigrate to the U.S. as refugees. People who were set to come to the U.S. as refugees could do so quicker if they had family connections to the military, CIA or USAID.

Her said her family didn’t qualify for those pipelines, but an uncle — in the Hmong familial sense of the word, i.e., a family friend — worked for USAID. When Her’s father processed the refugee paperwork, he claimed familial connection to the friend that worked for USAID, which wasn’t accurate.

“Technically, you would say my father broke the law, right? But we would have come anyway,” Her said.

Minnesota House Republicans, alongside DFL House caucus leader Melissa Hortman, voted Monday to strip MinnesotaCare from undocumented adults. The Senate later voted to do the same.

Her said she wishes she would have been more clear about her citizenship status on the House floor, but she doesn’t regret telling her story.

“The truth is until people see a face with somebody and a situation, it is really easy for us to other each other,” she said, using “other” as a verb. “And as somebody who’s been marginalized because of who I am my whole life, I never want to do that to somebody else,” Her said.

She isn't illegal if her parents naturalized when she was a child and her status was regularized. However, she should have discussed that in the speech. Not doing so was an error. It made the whole issue about "her" and not about health care.

If I were discussing this, I would point out that the taxpayer pays for this anyway, because hospitals must be reimbursed for the emergency care they provide. It is illegal for them to deny it. Note, I said emergency care, not all care. However, the hospital either receives funding from a government agency (usually state or federal) or insured patients are charged even higher amounts to cover the costs, which are then recouped through premiums.

Most of the people she is talking about won't have any money, so the hospital can "charge" them all they like, but it is getting blood out of turnips. They will be wasting their time, as will most attempts to claw back the money from the government.

Preventing illegal immigration in the first place is, of course, the most cost-effective.

Who the hell wrote this article?

What the heck is going on with using "her" incorrectly in so many places? :shr:

Either this is a woke person, or someone who is still learning English grammar.

We have a county hospital in Dallas who is overrun with illegal aliens either getting healthcare or popping out their fifth baby at the taxpayer expense. That’s why property taxes are so incredibly high.
