MASSIVE EBT & CHARITY FRAUD EXPOSED: Immigrants Are Openly Buying Food with Food Stamps and Collecting It from Charities, Then Shipping It Overseas to Sell for Profit
Twitter / X / MuckRaker ^ | May 27, 2026 | Staff

Posted on 05/28/2026 4:06:08 AM PDT by Red Badger

In Lawrence, Massachusetts, a whistleblower revealed a welfare scam that the Dominican community has been running for over a decade.

Here is how it works: Dominican immigrants buy food with EBT cards or take it for free from food banks. They then load it into shipping barrels and send it to the Dominican Republic, where it is sold for profit in local bodegas.

We tracked the entire pipeline, from corner stores in Massachusetts to shipping hubs in New York to bodegas in Santo Domingo that are stocked with food paid for by the American taxpayer.

We are prepared to share our findings with any legitimate investigative body.

We need to step up deportations. Time to dispense with the obstructionist protestors and quit wasting time. Throw them in the klink and get to work getting rid of foreign parasites.

As of 2024, there are approximately 1.3 million to 1.4 million foreign-born immigrants from the Dominican Republic living in the United States. When including U.S.-born residents with Dominican ancestry, the total population of Dominican descent is estimated at over 2.5 million.

The Dominican immigrant population has increased by 46% since 2010, marking it as a rapidly growing population. Dominican immigrants are the second-largest Caribbean foreign-born group (after Cubans) and the fourth-largest Latino immigrant group in the U.S..

The majority of this population is concentrated in the Northeast, particularly in the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area.

As of 2012, roughly 50% of Dominican immigrants in the U.S. were naturalized citizens.Data shows an estimated 164,000 undocumented immigrants from the Dominican Republic, according to 2022 reports.——immogrationpolicy.org

This has been going on in NY for years. Bodegas sell those blue barrels for food shipments to 3rd world countries.

Ya know who is the queen of the massive growth of the food stamp program and the massive increase in expenditures? None other than Red Rosa De Lauro (D, Yale)

Here we go. Only offer basic cheese, bread and peanut butter.

It is meant to be a lifeline, not a freaking luxury cruise boat.

And if these cockroaches can’t support themselves without stealing from America, send them back.

“I don’t think this is technically illegal.“

I’m not sure it is either, if everyone is ACTUALLY legally qualified to recieve food stanps, and not selling it themselves. Dominicans have a reputation for being pretty hardworking and resourceful people in NYC.

“”””Here we go. Only offer basic cheese, bread and peanut butter.””””

That would work for people on EBT for a very short time to keep them from starving but it wouldn’t work for most, the elderly poor can’t eat that for the rest of their lives, especially as they lose interest in food in old age, the permanently handicapped same thing, households with children that are going to be on EBT for more than a couple of weeks, even the single person recovering from an illness or injury and out of work, would have a hard time surviving for long having a box of cheese, bread, and peanut butter dropped off over and over, and over.

If it isn’t violating the law or the rules then it would be simple enough to add some sentences to the law and/or rules, “personal use”, “household use”, “those on the application” or whatever.
