Rep. Ilhan Omar has deleted a tweet where she appeared to suggest that Latinx immigrants will be hurt by a “merit-based” immigration policy for some reason:

And here’s Ted Cruz, son of a Latinx immigrant, ripping the Minnesota congresswoman over her take:
As the son of a Cuban immigrant whose Dad came to get a math degree & become a computer programmer, I’m troubled that Dems seem to believe Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration. Bringing in more scientists, engineers & doctors is good for US jobs. https://t.co/iugniZgJtL

And although she deleted the tweet, she still has this up on her timeline:
“Our research suggests that prejudice against Latinos is an important, if veiled, reason that some Americans advocate admitting primarily highly educated, highly skilled immigrants.”
