Seattle ...East African Migrants with Suitcases of Cash Leaving US – They’re ALL ON WELFARE

Seattle and King County officials have stopped several migrants with suitcases full of American dollars leaving the United States.

All of the suspects carrying the suitcases full of cash were on welfare. KING5 reported:

“ Travelers pulling suitcases full of cash started showing up at Sea-Tac Airport last year holding tickets for flights headed out of the United States.

The people carrying the cash didn’t hide the fact from Customs. Just the opposite, they reported it. Anyone traveling out of the United States is required to declare any amount over $10,000 and fill out a one-page federal form.

These reports are what caught the attention of terrorism investigators in Seattle…

…Seattle and King County are home to tens of thousands of immigrants and refugees from East Africa, many of whom use the hawalas to send much-needed money back to loved ones in their homelands. Given the presence of active terrorist organizations in Somalia, investigators worry that some of the money ...

Kerns said the first cash shipment rolled through Sea-Tac early last year. A man carrying $750,000 in cash told Customs officials he was transporting the money overseas. Over the next several months, couriers carrying as much as $2 million boarded commercial flights at Sea-Tac.

He researched the names of the ten clients who transferred the most money through hawalas last year.

“All ten of them were on welfare benefits. DSHS benefits,” said Kerns. “It’s fraud. Straight up fraud – every one of them.”

Kerns said he, along with an agent from a federal agency he would not disclose, took their case to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle.

“They don’t want to touch it,” said Kerns. “My opinion – I believe it’s because it will look like they’re targeting a certain population.”

>Tax dollars funneled through welfare schemes to fund terrorists in Africa.

We have lost our minds. This should be Exhibit A on the ‘why you don’t give free stuff to foreigners’ list.

Every home in EVERY ghetto in the U.S. has more big screen TVs, iPhones, $$ cars, smokes, booze, $$ food, etc. than that in most taxpayer house-holds.....and you expected the same fraud to NOT be used elsewhere??

Just restoring our 4th/5th/13th Rights would solve: Economy/savings-gap, illegal immigration, fraud/waste/abuse, broken families+

Exactly.

So many cars are stolen and driven into Mexico that their government, rather than stop the crime, decided to tax it.

Now it costs a few hundred $ to get a car into that country.

I’m surprised they didn’t confiscate it.

They are targeting a certain population; FOREIGN CRIMINALS!

” it will look like they’re targeting a certain population.”
Yes it would. The criminal population.

Meanwhile, innocent white citizens carrying cash from their business across the street to a bank get their cash confiscated and not returned, despite being under $10,000 deposits. Lots of reports abound of white citizens getting their cash taken even though from legitimate enterprises. Obama don't like white folks (neither does Hillary, when you think about it).

In an alternate world,
It would not end well for the perpetrators of said theft. Threats would not be levied towards anyone, but un announced significant life altering events would occur.
IMHO
And those folks stand by and take it with no recourse...
