(The Center Square) – New reports allege that millions of taxpayer dollars have been fraudulently stolen from the Minnesota welfare system and then sent to the Somali-based terror group Al-Shabaab.

The article alleges that those millions of dollars in Minnesota taxpayer funding from the many different fraudulent schemes was then funneled to households in Somalia, with some of that money then ending up in the pockets of al-Qaida-linked Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab.

 

 

A similar case is investigating fraudulent claims of child autism, made by the Somali community in that area. Millions of dollars siphoned off and sent to Islamic terrorists back in Somalia.  

 

These people need to GO.

The trillions spent on Covid was one giant fraud,

The folks who were in charge of the Covid funds should be prosecuted as well.

Why would the Somalis go to Wisconsin?  Do they find snow and subzero temperatures appealing?

 

There seem to be quite a few in Las Vegas.  They wander around tweaking on some kind of drug and hang outside various fast food restaurants panhandling.  Some life.  It looks like the left abandoned them.

 

I’m pretty sure they were Somalis.   They all had that unique look…just like that actor Barkhab Abdi.  Without the rifle of course.

 

 

Always interesting to see the folks who rage against DEI on the grounds that discriminating on the basis of race or ethnicity is wrong, but have no problem with tarring all Somalis.

You need to read the title again, this is against the Wisconsin Somalis involved in crime, not all Somalis.

 

Nice try though....

Exactly. It is no surprise though. Somalis in the US are the second most likely group to be on government benefits, at 42% sucking on the government teat. The only group with more are Afghanis, at 45%.

 

They're getting away with it because the white liberal women are protecting them like pets.

Perhaps Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, the US Congress woman can help sort this out. She has excellent ties with the Somali community in the USA.

The article was about Somali criminal rings. But a few of the comments not so much. But maybe I've got it wrong. Maybe Hanaguma and especially Airalee were only referring to the criminals and believe Somalis should be welcome here.

That's a very dubious statistic:

Perhaps, but it also depends on the clan membership within the Somali community.  Wrong clan? No help.

Politicfact are regime shills and retards. 

 

40% of a population is a statement on just how terrible that particular group is and why should never be allowed to immigrate. 

 

What does Politicfact do? Misdirect your attention to the proportions of the entire country to make the problem appear smaller. They do this all the time with "per capita" debates and it's also to protect some non-white class of people again white people.

If she's sucking Somali cock that makes her crime even more intolerable. She needs to be fired and then deport her back to Somalia with all her pets.

Cherry picking much? The article went into detail about why those figures were unreliable. So, if you really want to get into the issue of who is a retard, I suggest you look closer to home.

That was the TLDR and it's BS. They inverted the concern from per population to per country. It's dishonest and hell and makes them liars.

 

Is the ~40% of the Somalis on SNAP true or false. Answer that question. True or false. No spin or obfuscation and what about this nonsense. 

 

If it is true that means Somalis are garbage immigrants regardless of what % of the population they are or what the nominal dollar amount is. Garbage in, garbage out.

Google ai Overview:

Yes, Minnesota's Republican state lawmakers have formally requested a federal audit of the state's Department of Human Services (DHS) amid ongoing fraud investigations.

 

What a mess those Dem state bureaucrats have created with their Systemic Progressive initiatives .

That's a stupid comparison Placeholder. You're so predictable. They  were the ones who committed fraud in the billions and helped fund terrorism.

First off, who do you mean by "they"?

Second, you must be doing your own independent investigation. I read that they were suspected of stealing millions. According to you it's billions. Do I hear any bids for trillions? Going once going twice sold to even keel  for billions.

A lovely country full of lovely 67 IQ people.  Nothing about race.  The country is and has been a basket case for as long as I remember.  They need to fix their own country first.  No country needs 67 iq criminals.

The OP needs to re-spell some of his headline......add an N.

Its right from the Garlands mouth too. The only thing missing is the *newer reporting uncovered.

“These indictments, alleging the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme charged to date, underscore the Department of Justice’s sustained commitment to combating pandemic fraud and holding accountable those who perpetrate it,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “In partnership with agencies across government, the Justice Department will continue to bring to justice those who have exploited the pandemic for personal gain and stolen from American taxpayers.”

Here Placeholder. Sorry Charlie......

 

Major fraud cases involving members of the Somali community have been uncovered in Minnesota, not Wisconsin. Federal prosecutors and investigative reports suggest the total scope of fraud across various programs could exceed a billion dollars, but these are based in Minnesota. 

Here are the key details regarding the fraud in Minnesota:

• Location: The alleged fraud schemes are centered in Minnesota, which has a large Somali-American population.
• Scope: The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota has prosecuted half a billion dollars in government fraud over the past couple of years, and the acting U.S. Attorney has stated the total amount could exceed $1 billion when ongoing investigations are completed.

Funny how leftists always say IQ means nothing and then subsequently play the race card.

 

Lets take a look at average IQs by country and see if there is a pattern.
