Fine Pushes Omar Expulsion Vote As Dual Citizenship Bill Targets Congress

“It’s not just about the vote,” Harris said. “It’s about access to our national security secrets. They get to learn things that people from their home countries would never get to know,” he said.

Harris also pointed to the number of lawmakers born outside the United States, raising questions about whether all prior allegiances have been formally renounced. He said the issue is part of a broader effort to prioritize American interests within the federal government.

Fine and Harris specifically cited Omar and another state-level lawmaker as examples of officials they believe may prioritize foreign interests. Fine argued that some Democrats have demonstrated that U.S. interests are not their top priority, though he did not provide specific evidence to support that claim.
