Minnesota: ‘Nearly Every’ Somali Household with Children Is on Welfare
Breitbart ^ | 12/10/2025 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 12/11/2025 5:35:26 AM PST by SmokingJoe

More than 8-in-10 households headed by Somali refugees in the state of Minnesota are on one or more forms of American taxpayer-funded welfare, new data published by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals.

The data, based on 10 years of data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), shows drastic disparities between native-born American households and Somali-born households in Minnesota, where nearly 80,000 residents have Somali ancestry compared to zero who had Somali ancestry in 1990.

In particular, the data shows that 81 percent of Minnesota households headed by Somali refugees are on one or more forms of welfare, including 27 percent who are on cash welfare, 54 percent who are on food stamps, and 73 percent who are on Medicaid.

Compare this massive welfare use to native-born Americans residing in Minnesota, only 21 percent of whom are on one or more forms of welfare, including just 6 percent who are on cash welfare, 7 percent who are on food stamps, and 18 percent who are on Medicaid.

This country needs the European Model of Workfare. If you can fog a mirror, you show up M-F at 8AM to 5PM shift at a gov’t facility. It might be cleaning toilets, washing windows, whatever...you show up for work. No show, no pay. If you have kids, you still work your job, after dropping them off at school or a gov’t-run daycare center partly staffed by newly-trained welfare recipients. It’s amazing how many welfare people find better-paying jobs very quickly, especially when subject to random drug testing. It’s time for people to take responsibility for their lives rather than have the American taxpayer foot the bill.

The average Somali is not worth a damn because they have no marketable capabilities. Keep in mind they are from Africa, Somalia.

Their inherent inferiority makes them useless in America

I’ve seen lots of references to the low IQs of Somalis, but they do seem to be pretty clever at gaming the system, don’t they?

What countries in Europe have that policy? Welfare use by migrants is massive.

Migrant benefits in Europe vary by country and legal status (asylum seeker vs. refugee), but generally include basic needs (housing, food/cash, healthcare, education for kids), integration support (language classes, job training), and pathways to employment, especially for those with recognized protection, while the new EU Pact aims for harmonized, efficient systems, but implementation varies. Refugees get more rights, like work access and family reunification, while asylum seekers get support pending decisions.

Types of Support

International Protection Beneficiaries (Refugees/Subsidiary Protection):

Access to healthcare, social security, and social assistance (often tied to integration).

Right to work, family reunification, and housing.

Education for minors, skill recognition, and vocational training.

Asylum Seekers (Pending Decisions):

Accommodation: Provided housing (hostels, flats), often not in desired locations.

Financial Aid: Cash allowances for food, clothing (e.g., UK’s ASPEN card, France’s daily allowance).

Basic Services: Medical, legal, psychosocial support, interpreters, and schooling for children.

Country Examples

Germany: Offers full benefits like “Bürgergeld” (citizen’s income) to those unable to work, plus accommodation.

Poland: Provides family benefits (allowances, childbirth aid) if income thresholds are met, similar to nationals.

UK: Offers basic support like housing and weekly cash payments on a debit card.

EU Framework

The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum (2024) aims to create more harmonized and efficient asylum processes, strengthening integration, but national implementation takes time (until 2026).

Key Factors

Legal Status: Determines level of benefits (asylum seeker vs. protected refugee).

National Policies: Specific allowances, housing allocation, and integration measures differ significantly by EU country.

Integration: Many benefits (especially financial/social) are linked to participation in language courses, civic orientation, and vocational training.

It’s bad enough that they are all welfare parasites, but they are also primitive savages. The worst of the worst.

They get to come here and live with free stuff provided by Americans.

People in this country are drowning in high prices and debt with little relief.

It is disgusting. This is but one of the many reasons why.

One doesn’t need to be especially smart to game the system, when the people running that system want it to be gamed. I’m looking at you, Walz.

I noticed that. They are quite good at the theft. They have a pirate class in Somalia.

Just don’t ask them to do anything that is helpful to America.

Wow. Their “assimilation” consists of more gaming the system, not less.
