 The Immigration crackdown/comments are a result of the  crisis in Minnesota stemmed from widespread  massive fraud within the Department of Human Services under the Walz administration , where millions of dollars intended for child nutrition and community programs were allegedly diverted while some went to terrorist linked orgs , while perpetrators faced little accountability. At its early stages AG Garland said it was the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/dec/05/tim-walz/MN-Somali-fraud-Donald-Trump-TPS-immigration/

 

Google ai overview:

"The "Walz scandal" most commonly refers to the "Feeding Our Future" fraud scheme, where over a billion dollars in federal child nutrition program funds intended to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic were stolen by a network of non-profits in Minnesota.

Nature of the Fraud: Dozens of individuals, many of Somali descent, were charged with crimes related to the fraud. They created fake meal sites and claimed to feed tens of thousands of non-existent children, using the siphoned off funds for personal luxury items like cars and real estate".

You very clearly heard the dog whistle.

 

 

This specific focus on the Somali community, particularly in Minnesota (home to the largest Somali American population in the U.S.), is driven by several intertwined factors, a combination of political opportunism (targeting a prominent critic, Rep. Omar, and an important state), weaponizing specific local crime cases that were not even managed by Somalis, and advancing a broad, hard-line anti-immigrant agenda.
 

Many historians argue that while the actions may not constitute full Fascism (as defined by the historical European movements), they represent a dangerous form of authoritarian populism or exhibit "fascistic elements" that can erode democratic norms.

 

The core consensus is that the tactics used—dividing the nation, targeting minorities as scapegoats, and glorifying a strongman leader—are the same mechanisms that enabled fascist movements to rise in the 20th century.

Trump is awkwardly and maybe rudely saying,  what many Americans or Europeans do think inside their minds. 

Trump is a bigoted racist and he is championing the far-right political ideology of remigration. This unpopular ideological advocates for the mass deportation or expulsion of non-white immigrants and minorities including naturalized citizens to achieve ethnic or cultural homogeneity in US. Immigrants enrich counties especially developed countries facing an aging demography and a lack of talents.

Only those Americans and Europeans trapped in their own fascist related echo chambers. The vast majority think outside the box.

Anyone in the country illegally, white or otherwise should be deported. 

 

Anyone naturalized under false pretenses should be denaturalized and deported, if it can be done legally. 

 

How do people on welfare that make no attempt to assimilate enrich the United States? 

 

How can people from third-world sh*t-hole countries even be vetted?

This is a laughable distillation of current "Syndrome" fears and dreams. 

 

America does need to sort out the population, and return people who should not be in the country. 

 

Some immigrants DO enrich countries , that is true. But only the ones who come with skills and talents that are needed. Plus, only those willing to accept and cherish American culture and values. Otherwise, they can stay home and "enrich" their own countries. 

 

Please tell me how non-educated and non-English speaking Somalis "enrich" the United States.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I get where you're coming from—skilled immigrants do add huge value right away, and embracing American values is essential for everyone to thrive. But folks like Somali refugees, who often arrive with little English or education after escaping war, start enriching the US immediately too. In Minnesota, the biggest Somali community, they generate over half a billion in income yearly, pay 67 million in taxes, and fuel an 8 billion dollar economic boost through jobs in factories, healthcare, and transport that locals often skip. Most jump into the workforce fast, poverty drops over time, and they're launching businesses—think Somali women starting food spots and fashion lines, or leaders like Ilhan Omar rising from interpreter gigs. Nationally, refugees like them earned 93 billion in 2019 and paid 25 billion in taxes, with higher entrepreneurship rates than native-born Americans. It's not just skills; it's grit, diversity sparking ideas, and that classic upward climb. What stands out to you about these stories?

Yeah, the Minnesota fraud scandal—where dozens of Somali Americans allegedly stole up to $1 billion from COVID kid nutrition programs—is absolutely serious and heartbreaking; no one defends that, and those involved need full accountability. It was orchestrated by a non Somali American wasn't it? But it's a subset of bad actors, not the whole community—78 out of thousands of Somali Minnesotans—and we see fraud in every group, from Enron to college admissions scams. It doesn't erase the broader $8 billion economic boost, tax contributions, or entrepreneurship from hardworking families who fled war and built lives here. Trump's rhetoric amps up the fear, but judging everyone by a few tarnishes the real American success story these folks mostly embody.

I did not post "a quote". I posted two statements and asked two questions. 

 

Your question was unrelated to either of my statements.

 

Answer my questions and I'll answer yours.

 

It's hilarious to see all the corruption hidden away in the Minnesota Somali community. Even more funny to see them exposing their own grift. 

 

Who would have thought it? I'm shocked. 

 

Who knew doctors and engineers could turn so bad after landing on US soil to save America. Especially ones from the mighty Somalia.

These people stealing from the state and Omar 

need to be prosecuted, citizenship revoked and put on a boat back to bum-**** Egypt.  And if Trump were half the fascist these daily hissy fit postings on this forum show- then all the saps in MN supporting Omar would be on the same boat back to bum **** Egypt. Would be fine with me.
