Men and women pulling “suitcases full of cash” started showing up at Seattle’s Sea-Tac Airport last year holding tickets for international flights bound for Africa.
Transporting large amounts of cash overseas is perfectly legal. But it was who was carrying the money … and where it was going that caught the attention of law enforcement, according to a report by KING 5, the local NBC affiliate for western Washington.
Those hauling the cash-laden cases were Somali-Americans who’d come to this country as refugees. They routinely send money back to Somalia. And many of the greenbacks headed to the jihadist-infested East African country come from welfare checks the refugees receive from the U.S. government, compliments of American taxpayers.
Carrying more than $10,000 while traveling out of the United States is legal as long as the traveler declares it by filling out a one-page federal form.
It was while looking at these slips of paper that terrorism expert Glenn Kerns found a disturbing pattern.
“The thing was the amount, the staggering amount,” said Kerns, a Seattle police officer who was assigned to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force for 14 years before he retired in December.
The cash couriers were working for hawalas – businesses that derive their name from the Arabic word for “transfer.” Hawalas are part of a traditional system of banking in Shariah-compliant Muslim communities.

But is all of it going to downtrodden family members?

It would make sense, since Somalia is home to an active jihadist rebellion from al-Shabab, an al-Qaida affiliate that slaughters Christians in neighboring Kenya and seeks to establish an ISIS-like caliphate in East Africa.

Wow, I've never heard that. Will you please post some reference links?
They've ALREADY broken ONE law, why not others? And Obama would NEVER prosecute them."
why not?
I mean they're prolly registering under 4-5 different names to vote.
According to the law signed by Bill Clinton any time the police find a “citizen” carrying more than $10K they can take it and keep it.
Does the clan lifestyle explain why they all smell exactly the same?? Seriously-do they all use the same heavy perfume? I’m not even being snarky-it’s an overwhelming and rather offensive odor that you can smell from 10 feet away. And it’s the same odor on every one!
“And Obama would NEVER prosecute them”
The IRS still turns a blind eye to the billions illegally handed out to them:
“The IRS is defending its decision to let illegal immigrants claim up to three years’ refunds on income even if they never paid income taxes, telling Congress in a new letter last week that agency lawyers have concluded getting a Social Security number triggers the ability to go back and ask for previous refunds”

Btt
it happens under the umbrella of the civil forfeiture act.
see my post #29 for a few links.

you can google civil forfeiture act abuse for more info.
7. This same GAO report quotes a state official who notes “that local affiliate funding is based on the number of refugees they serve, so affiliates (private contractors) have an incentive to maintain or increase the number of refugees they resettle each year rather than allowing the number to decrease.”
8. Refugee resettlement is a self-perpetuating global enterprise. Staff and management of the hundreds of taxpayer supported U.S. contractors are largely refugees or immigrants whose purpose is to gain entry for more refugees, usually for their co-ethnics.
9. According to David Robinson, a former acting director of the State Department’s refugee bureau, writing about the refugee contractors: “the federal government provides about ninety percent of its collective budget” and its lobbying umbrella “wields enormous influence over the Administration’s refugee admissions policy. It lobbies the Hill effectively to increase the number of refugees admitted for permanent resettlement each year ….If there is a conflict of interest, it is never mentioned…. The solution its members offer to every refugee crisis is simplistic and the same: increase the number of admissions to the United States without regard to budgets…” How Public Opinion Shaped Refugee Policy in Kosovo, 2000, David M. Robinson, http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf&AD=ADA432218
We hesitate to quibble with an authoritative source on the percentage of federal money floating the refugee industry, but from an accountant’s perspective that percentage is actually over 100 % given the amount of money the industry is able to pocket without any proof that it was spent on refugees.
There are entire industries built in and around the illegals.
They like to burn frankincense for incense, use heavy garlic and curry on their cooked meats, and don’t change clothing too often. You know when you are getting near them by your nose, that’s for sure.
A lot of church denominations’ ‘social ministries’ are assisting in planting a great many refugees all over America, too. Anti-Christian refugees.
Those churches are apostate, infiltrated by progressives long ago whose intent is not to share the saving message of Jesus Christ.
That’s why we must pray for hard Trump’s safety.
Attacking the immigration/refugee gravy train ( money, votes, power) is a dangerous path.
Yes. I agree there is big money at stake & big risk for anyone pushing this scam out into the light of day
The money is going to fund Al Shabaab in Somalia.
