A couple of years back, on what has become my annual fall excursion to Rochester Minnesota, I learned of Somali immigrants. About 100,000 of them have resettled in Minnesota, mostly in Minneapolis, but also in St. Cloud and Rochester. Due to their religious teachings, they mostly dress differently than other Minnesotans, so they are easy to identify. They were all similarly dressed. Their clothes were dark and foreboding. The women all had their heads covered, the men had their faces covered with beards. I never saw any of them smiling or laughing. Their clothes were dark and foreboding. Any speaking was in such tones to be unheard. I saw no children.

I happened to arrive the same week that a recent Somali immigrant had knifed, in an unprovoked attack, a number of non-Somali Minnesotans in St. Cloud. This was very much in the news there. This caused me to be even more careful and observant of the ones I saw.

I had taken the Ludington-Manitowoc ferry there, and on the ferry back I ran into quite a surprise. The boat was half full of people dressed in similarly identifiable religious garb. The women all had their heads covered, the men, their faces covered with beards. There were differences, though. Here, the clothes were bright and cheerful. I don't think I ever heard so much smiling and laughing and having a good time. The children were many, and all were having a grand time. The Ferry had organized Bingo and other games. There loud cheers from all when ever there was a winner, whether similarly dressed, or not.

The difference, of course, was that the ferry was populated with Amish. Their religion does not allow automobile travel, so this group was taking the Ferry to attend a wedding on the other side of Lake Michigan. The attendees were very happy to describe this to anyone nearby. They were simply having fun.

It's too bad that not all religions are so inclined.

Shocker: Rep Omar declined to respond on rampant terrorism recruitment in her Congressional District.
She’s commented about everything else to make herself look good. Rampant Somali terrorism recruitment in her district obviously doesnt advance her agenda.

Taxpayers demand to know if terrorism recruitment is being financed with stolen tax dollars. Read on

MINN SOMALIS STEAL $300 MILLION TAX DOLLARS——The Worst Scandal In Minnesota History?

Fox 9 television uncovers a far-reaching scandal: last year, more than $100 million in cash left the Twin Cities airport in carry-on luggage, bound for the Middle East and Africa: This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on. On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms. Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.

Where does the money come from, and where is it going? It was coming from Hawalas, businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking system. Some immigrant communities rely on Hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home.

[Former Seattle police detective Glen] Kerns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a Hawala in the region of Somalia that is controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group.

But the real scandal is where the money came from in the first place–welfare fraud:As Kerns dug deeper, he found that some of the individuals who were sending out tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of remittance payments happened to be on government assistance in this country. How could they possibly come up with such big bucks to transfer back home? “We had sources that told us, ‘It’s welfare fraud, it’s all about the daycare,’” said Kerns. *** Five years ago the Fox 9 Investigators were first to report that daycare fraud was on the rise in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with their childcare expenses.

“It’s a great way to make some money,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said In order for the scheme to work, the daycare centers falsely signed up low income Somali Muslim families that qualify for child care assistance funding.Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center, only to leave with them a few minutes later. Sometimes, no children would show up.

Either way, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare.Video from that same case shows a man handing out envelopes of what are believed to be kickback payments to parents who are in on the fraud. Evidently welfare fraud in various forms is widespread in Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community. This is, I think, generally known, but the scale of fraud disclosed here is astonishing:

“We believe that there’s a scope of fraud out there that we really need to get our arms around and ensure that those dollars are going to kids that really need them,” Acting Commissioner for the Department of Human Services Chuck Johnson said.

He told the Fox 9 Investigators his agency has 10 daycares currently under active investigation for fraud. Fox 9 has learned dozens more are considered suspicious. Search warrants obtained by the Fox 9 Investigators show each one of the suspect centers has received several million dollars in childcare assistance funds.

According to public records and government sources, most are owned by Somali immigrants. *** Sources in the Somali community told Fox 9 it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money.

The fraud is so widespread they said, that people buy shares of daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in. Government insiders believe this scam is costing the state at least a hundred million dollars a year, half of all child care subsidies.
