If there was ever a perfect case study in just how destructive the Democrat Party’s top two policy priorities — mass welfare distribution and unchecked immigration from the Third World — are to America, it’s what continues to unfold in Minnesota.
Federal prosecutors have uncovered hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars stolen over the past five years by Somali descendants living throughout the state in pockets of immigrant-dense communities. The schemes led to more than $1 billion in theft of welfare money intended for the impoverished who are supposedly unable to feed and house themselves. The dollars instead were pocketed primarily by Somali scammers who ran fake nonprofits claiming to help the needy.
The story has all the problems Democrats swear don’t exist: rampant welfare fraud, criminal immigrants, and bogus accusations of bigotry. The New York Times, of all places, captured the enraging nature of the situation in an article last weekend. “The episode has raised broader questions for some residents about the sustainability of Minnesota’s Scandinavian-modeled system of robust safety net programs bankrolled by high taxes,” the paper wrote. “That system helped create an environment that drew immigrants to the state over many decades, including tens of thousands of Somali refugees after their country descended into civil war in the 1990s.”
Wait, you mean impoverished foreigners from a war-torn, wildly corrupted country will flock to a state with European-style welfare giveaways and ultimately abuse the system? You’re telling me for the first time.
In one of the schemes, according to the Times, the state government had projected it would send out a few million dollars per year in reimbursements to organizations providing services to individuals at risk of homelessness, only to end up dumping more than $100 million into the fraudulent operation, which allegedly provided no service at all. (Two of the eight people prosecuted in the matter pleaded guilty.)
Another fake nonprofit said it was providing free meals to the needy and seeking reimbursement from the government, only to, once again, allegedly provide nothing (or almost nothing) to anyone. Administrators suspected something foul was afoot, but they kept pushing money out the door after the Somalis threatened to publicly accuse them of racism.
“In 2020, Minnesota Department of Education officials who administered the program became overwhelmed by the number of applicants seeking to register new feeding sites and began raising questions about the plausibility of some invoices,” the Times reported. “Feeding Our Future, the nonprofit group that was the largest provider in the pandemic program, responded with a warning. In an email, the group told the state agency that failing to promptly approve new applicants from ‘minority-owned businesses’ would result in a lawsuit featuring accusations of racism that would be ‘sprawled across the news.’”
This is what happens when Democrats are allowed to run things. They import Third World cultures and turn everyday life into a giant scam. That’s not just my assessment. Ahmed Samatar, a professor at Macalester College who is of Somali descent, said the same thing. “Dr. Samatar said that Somali refugees who came to the United States after their country’s civil war were raised in a culture in which stealing from the country’s dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread,” wrote the Times. “Minnesota, he said, proved susceptible to rampant fraud because it is ‘so tolerant, so open and so geared toward keeping an eye on the weak.’”
When Democrats swear not a single dollar can be cut from welfare programs and not a single immigrant should be deported, this is what they’re promoting.

Cut them off from the money supply. They’ll return to Somalia. Return that queen of somalia graft & corruption, ilhan omar, morally lacking & ethically challenged, to Somalia where she can continue her terrorist activities.

The Somalis for a large part are living on the public dole. To use public money for their benefit is paying them for the vote. It is also the classic system of Marxism which redistributes wealth from the wealthy to the have-nots. It’s a big reason why these Commies bad mouth the rich Capitalists. The tactic of dehumanization makes them feel guilty for their wealth so the Commies can steal it from them.
Encountered some young Somalis in Minneapolis recently. They wanted to bum a smoke and got threatening when I ignored them. I went back into my hotel but it was unpleasant. I was like: “glad I don’t live here!”
Applying a touch of their Sharia law would be perfect irony. Hands chopped off for the theft (followed by a ride with extended family back to Mogadishu, in irons). Then heads off for the organizers, a certain knucklehead included. You want Seventh Century? We can do that.
Good points.
If they refuse to learn English as the ones interviewed on TV today “No English.” “Only Somali.”
And they are not working (88% are on welfare now).
And they aren’t becoming part of the American Way of Life at all——keeping to themselves.
Then what is the attraction? Taxpayer money from the working American citizens.
They are draining a fortune from the system.
Funny, the Somalis are sort of bad luck. In their country “they fled the civil war there.” In ours, soon: Another civil war as anti-immigrant riots get going.
“On the 12 Days of Somali Fraud.
My State Prosecutor showed to me ....”
“...The Somalis for a large part are living on the public dole.....”
As low-IQ as the Somalis are, they’re still waaaayyyy smarter than any woke American lib.....way smarter.
The rioters will more likely be anti-assimilation riots. Riots by immigrants who think the world is their oyster and owes them a living. In our case the "world" is the sucker country with on-the-take politicians.
More specifically, those politicians who enable grafted USAid money (from the taxpayers) to nurture and reward a 'hate America: you're a fool to assimilate' attitude, and to pay for the machinery that creates phantom "citizens" to substantiate millions of ballots that elect those politicians.
You’re right. Like the No Kings types, they will proudly and defiantly refuse to do anything positive for America. Good street protest theme for them. They won’t even have to miss work——they don’t have jobs.
The Big Lebowski scene. Business Lebowski to unemployed Lebowski:
How are you going to go out and apply for a job today dressed like that?
I don’t think the Somalis are low IQ. I believe they are under-educated because their culture rejects anything that constitutes American culture. They have their own education system that has deep connections to criminal culture. While they rake in $billions from criminal activities, they can afford to pay politicians to win elections who will look the other way when they win.
In fact the politicians are just as corrupt, piling up $millions from their schemes.
Every illegal here is a scammer.
Your post is spot on! I might add, the Marxist city leaders need their welfare base, bought for the vote from the redistributed money they steal from the rich.
Isn’t Marxism a steamy pile?
This.
Yes, and the New Yorkers are about to step in it with their leader Mamdani.
