Tomi Lahren's Ancestor Tried To Forge U.S. Citizenship Papers, And People Cant Stop Laughing
http://www.guacamoley.com/lol/2017/09/09/1Iaf5f/tomi-lahrens-ancestor-tried
On Tuesday, September 5th, President Trump announced he was planning on ending the DACA program and called on Congress to draft replacement legislation before Obama's signature immigration policy expired at the end of the next 6 months. The DACA program protects those were brought into the country illegally at a young age from deportation, and allows them to work in the U.S. while giving them no path towards citizenship. DACA recipients, known as Dreamers, were often raised in this country (they pay taxes and have committed no crimes), and are being threatened with deportation to a place they have no memory of or connection to. While the Trump administration defended his disavowal of DACA as an attempt to protect the rights of Americans whose jobs are being "usurped" and wages lowered by DACA recipients, protests began almost immediately in reaction to this new policy. Critics have accused President Trump's decision to put DACA in jeopardy as cruel, short-sighted, and racist.
One person who does not have any problem with DACA ending, however, is conservative pundit Tomi Lahren. Tomi's views on immigration are well documented:
That's right. Tomi's great-great-grandfather, Constantin Dietrich, was born in Odessa, Russia in 1887 and came to America looking for a better life. While living here, he was indicted by a grand jury for forging a document and swearing falsely to the date of his declaration (apparently because he had let too much time pass before completing the naturalization process). It looks like he was guilty of the crime and was in danger of being deported!
An ironic twist: the jurors took pity on poor Constantine and acquitted him of the charges. He became a full-fledged citizen in 1926 and now, just over 90 years later, his great-great-grandaughter would have wanted him thrown out of the country! Jennifer Mendelsohn, the genealogist who discovered the factoid, had no idea she was going to track down such a juicy detail:
I was curious how long it would take me to hit an immigrant if I dug into the tree of Tomi Lahren, the platinum blonde, snowflake-hating ultra-conservative firebrand recently hired by Fox News. The answer was ‘not long,'” Mendelsohn wrote, “but I never expected to hit pay dirt quite like I did.

Platinum blondes who think all those other people are the real immigrants. How great is it that Tomi's Russian!
I'd like to investigate every prominant anti-immigrant Trumpster and see if they have the correct documents going back to when their ancestors entered this country.

Send her back to Russia!
They used these arguments against Japanese and other Americans during WW2, and more recently against Muslims and anyone who looks Muslim. So why not Russians like Tomi Lahren?
her out of our country. She can apply for visa/citizenship like anyone else. Legally!
I love the scent of hypocrisy in the morning 
were that Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren were "too manly" in their pantsuits. 
Right wing hate media has plenty of men but you might not find them nice on the eyes!
