The State Department is freezing all immigration from Somalia after an internal investigation found that the “vast majority of Somali migrants take welfare once present in the United States,” the Daily Caller has learned exclusively.
The freeze is expected to remain in place while the State Department reassesses immigration processing procedures. The effort is meant to “prevent the entry of foreign nationals who would become a public charge on the American people,” the State Department shared with the Caller.
The State Department will freeze immigration from approximately 75 countries, including Somalia, on Jan. 21.
“Under President Trump, we will not allow aliens to abuse America’s immigration system and exploit the generosity of the American people. For years, foreign nationals from Somalia have entered the United States and extracted wealth from the American taxpayer, including by taking welfare at obscene rates,” Deputy Principal Spokesperson Tommy Pigott told the Caller.
“The Trump administration is exercising the State Department’s long-standing authority to end this abuse of our immigration system,” he added.
The Somali community, especially in Minnesota, has been under fire following a report that accused some of stealing millions in taxpayer funds through fraud schemes.
There are about 80,000 Somalis in Minnesota alone, and a majority are foreign-born, according to the Minnesota Compass. Overall, most of the community lives in the Minneapolis region.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Tuesday that it is ending Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals living in the United States.
DHS also deployed more officers to the Minneapolis region to arrest illegal aliens. Numerous child rapists, murderers and other illegal migrant convicted criminals have been arrested by deportation officers.
“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a public statement. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.”

I think it’s time to stop saying ‘you have a s***hole country with a s***hole culture and s***hole values, therefore you deserve refugee status and a lifetime of easy living in the USA, your diversity makes us stronger’.
Exactly!
We should offer them $1,000,000 to renounce U S. Citizenship and return to Somalia immediately.
It may cost us 80 billion dollars but ultimately we'll save money in the long run.
Not a penny. They’ve taken enough.
Get the ones here out.
Here are two:
Send Tim Walz and Jacob Frey with them.
Kick out every one we legally can.
Every last one.

I wish he would freeze all immigration…for at least 5 years.
A few years ago my dad was scammed out of a ton of money by a guy he said had an African accent. He’s 86 and naive and like a fool I never warned him about the internet. They had him “invest” in African gold and sent him videos where you could plainly see the gold was fake. Anyway, besides fraud, I heard these Somalis are also into internet scams and I wonder if it was one of these bastards who scammed him.
He’ll get sued on this in 3, 2, 1.
The Somalis are a shitty corrupt people. They have no business being in this country.
We need more emigration to Somalia. Clinton brought this trash home. Trump will put it back where it belongs.
80,000 Somalis in Minnesota alone.
That giant sucking sound you hesar is your tax money going to them.
