More than 8 in 10 households headed by Somali refugees in the state of Minnesota are on one or more forms of American taxpayer-funded welfare, new data published by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals.

The data, based on 10 years of data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), shows drastic disparities between native-born American households and Somali-born households in Minnesota, where nearly 80,000 residents have Somali ancestry compared to zero who had Somali ancestry in 1990.

In particular, the data shows that 81 percent of Minnesota households headed by Somali refugees are on one or more forms of welfare, including 27 percent who are on cash welfare, 54 percent who are on food stamps, and 73 percent who are on Medicaid. […]

Welfare use goes even higher for Somali households where children are in the home, the ACS data finds.

For example, 89 percent of Somali-headed households with children in Minnesota are on one or more forms of welfare, as 86 percent are on Medicaid. About 62 percent of Somali households with children in the state are on food stamps, while 23 percent take cash welfare.

“Nearly every Somali household with children … receives some form of welfare,” CIS researcher Jason Richwine writes. …

They must also vote in huge numbers.
the average congressional seat has about 761,000 residents. No citizens as aliens, legal and illegal count.
So 80,000 is just 10% of one district!
Yest Omar gets elected regularly

There are ample other studies that show the same thing.

I’m sure there are, of similar ilk.

Hardly.

It’s just an inconvenient truth.

There is zero scientific doubt that intelligence is literally the most inheritable trait from parent to child, no different than height or eye color.

People just don’t like to talk about it.

Just go to grok.com and ask “how genetically heritable is general intelligence”

You will get the answer “70-80%”, being the most heritable trait.

type in “what studies show the median IQ of Somali is around 67?” You will get a list of about 20 studies, with links.

You may, however, prefer to go to Chatgpt to get a lecture that such questions are racist, and you are a bad person for asking such questions.
