A decade of Somali migration to the United States was plagued with mass fraud, the federal government and a retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official previously revealed.
The P-3 refugee pipeline, created by the Refugee Act of 1980, allows refugees to apply for their spouses, unmarried children, and parents to also receive refugee status in the U.S. From 2003 through 2008, Africans, including Somalis, represented more than 95 percent of the refugees who arrived in the U.S. through the P-3 program.
In March 2008, after some 36,000 mostly Africans had entered the U.S. as P-3 refugees — the majority of whom resettled in Minnesota — the program was halted by then-President George W. Bush after the State Department unveiled mass fraud.
The State Department published a report in November 2008 detailing how the agency had started requiring P-3 refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Liberia to take DNA tests to prove they were blood relatives to the U.S.-bound refugees sponsoring them for such status.
The DNA tests ultimately revealed the State Department was “only able to confirm all claimed biological relationships in fewer than 20% of cases (family units),” the report stated.
Retired ICE official Charles Thaddeus Fillinger published a 30-page brief in July 2018 regarding what he calls “the greatest refugee fraud crisis in modern times” and “possibly the biggest blunder in immigration history.”

Obama was the one behind this. Glad that Bush put a halt to it. Of course, the media will hide this.
Was it Bill Clinton that brought all the Somali’s here after his botched mission over there?
Can the SCOTUS ruling on birthright citizenship be retroactive?

Somalis arrested for running underage prostitution ring in three states.
Would be nice to live in a country where the leadership didn’t actively hate the average citizen. No sane person sees Somalia and thinks to themselves that “boy we sure need that in America !!”
‘Greatest Refugee Fraud Crisis in Modern Times...” you don’t say?
Handsome bunch...I’m surprised Hollywood hasn’t reached out to conduct screen tests for this crew.
If you want to come to the US from other countries, you must post a surety bond. Any DUI or crime, and you forfeit the bond and return from where you came from. If your background vetting falls apart, back you go, along with the bond guarantee forfeiture.
If I want to move - migrate to Trinidad, I must prove sufficient assets to not be a public charge, and if I want to drive a car, I must post a bond to cover any liability to anyone else or their property.
Not exactly the Brady Bunch, huh?
You are refugee only when you cannot go back to your home country.
If there are KGB agents waiting at the airport to arrest you, then YES, you qualify as a refugee.
You are not refugee, if you fly regularly back with suitcases filled with money!
Not exactly the Brady Bunch, huh?
More like “The Untouchables.”
Handsome bunch in those mug shots.....I’m surprised Hollywood
hasn’t reached out to conduct screen tests for this Somali crew.
Hah——Tinseltown isn’t making that many horror movies these days.
The Bushes were before Obama
2003-2008 GWBush-43
They shut it down, partly, after the damage was well done.
