"A high-trust, traditionally homogenous community with a deep civil society marked by thrift, industriousness, and openness..."

. As the Washington Times noted in 2015, in Minnesota, these refugees “can take advantage of some of America’s most generous welfare and charity programs.” Professor Ahmed Samatar of Macalester College in St. Paul observed, “Minnesota is exceptional in so many ways but it’s the closest thing in the United States to a true social democratic state.” A high-trust, traditionally homogenous community with a deep civil society marked by thrift, industriousness, and openness, Minnesota seemed like the ideal place to locate an indigent Somali population now estimated at 100,000.
The case of Fozia Ali, recently sworn in as a member of the park board of an upscale Twin Cities suburb, is illustrative. Ali’s daycare center in south Minneapolis was suspected of billing the government for more than $1 million of bogus child-care services. According to Special Agent Craig Lisher, the FBI “found records that she was collecting a significant amount of money for a much larger number of children than were actually attending the center.” Ali’s case also had an international component. “We are aware that some of the funds went overseas, what she was cashing out, money from the business,” Lisher noted. He declined to specify the purpose to which the funds were put. Ali used a phone app to register charges to the Minnesota state government while she stayed at an $800-per-night hotel in Nairobi. She pleaded guilty in March to charges of wire fraud and is serving time in federal prison. But the scam goes well beyond Ali. Though the total loss to the state’s $248 million daycare program remains to be determined, we have a serious case of deceit, obviously. But the real damage, harder to measure, is likely to be to the high-trust values of Minnesota, where newcomers can dupe the natives so easily.

Kent WA, south of Seattle. You should see the fraud and schemes with a % of the govt settled Somalis.
It is not all of them - many are hustling driving delivery trucks, cabs, working in convenient stores etc.
But a significant % (maybe 20) are just about scamming the system.
Ahhhhhh. The joys of (choose one): multiculturalism, one-worldism, diversity.

Buuuuump!
Catholic Charities brought in the bulk of them.
And Lutheran Social Services. That organization brought a group of them to Fargo, N.D.
I despise them and other pseudo-religious “charities” for what they’ve wrought upon our country.
And I’ve never been to Nairobi, but I can’t imagine it has an $800 hotel room - for that price it better be a 3000 sq foot penthouse. Or someone is scamming $600 a day.
In other words, Americans are suckers, and Minnesotans are even more so. Go there and get free things, plus they will support you when you rape and kill.
This is what happens when you put violent, ignorant, superstitious, fanatical, uncivilized brutes in a place where the people are thrifty, industrious and open to being raped.
Eloi
You got that right.
How did you know that from Maine (jest curious...)?
Honesty is considered stupidity in Somali culture.
