What a great catch by Grabien’s Tom Elliott.
Here’s then-President Obama explaining why economic refugees don’t qualify for asylum in the United States and how it would be so much better if they were able to file asylum claims in-country rather than making the dangerous journey through Mexico:

But it’s only racist when President Trump says it:
Is it possible that BHO is a racist? I hope that the Squad can clarify this for us….I'm all confused…

5 years ago. Obama was trying to make America white again, apparently. Though I don’t recall Nancy Pelosi mentioning that. Amazing how the standards have changed for Trump.

It would be nice if the media would do a better job of reminding folks of this:
So Barack also had his own Go Back Home moment with members of Congress? #complicitmedia

Will The Sqaud have a press conference to address this?
Someone needs to tell @RepAOC @RashidaTlaib @IlhanMN @RepPressley
