We are talking about billions in fraud here.
President Trump noticed and announced an end to TPS for Somalis. Now even the New York Times is forced to grapple with it.
“The fraud scandal that rattled Minnesota was staggering in its scale and brazenness… Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided.”
The Times briefly recaps the Somali meals, housing and autism fraud so far (it skips the day care fraud) and admits that “Ms. Hassan is of Somali ancestry, as are all but eight of the 86 people charged in the meals, housing and autism therapy fraud cases, according to prosecutors.”
The Somalis got away with it in part because they shouted about racism. Again, as Front Page and the Freedom Center reported, but what’s extraordinary is that the New York Times is reporting on it.
“Feeding Our Future, the nonprofit group that was the largest provider in the pandemic program, responded with a warning. In an email, the group told the state agency that failing to promptly approve new applicants from “minority-owned businesses” would result in a lawsuit featuring accusations of racism that would be “sprawled across the news.” Feeding Our Future later sued the agency, which continued reimbursing claims and approving new sites in the months that followed.”
As a trial in the meals fraud case was coming to a close last summer, an attempt to bribe a juror included an explicit insinuation about racism, prosecutors said. Several defendants in the trial were found to have arranged to send a bag containing $120,000 to a juror along with a note that read, “Why, why, why is it always people of color and immigrants prosecuted for the fault of other people?”
Kayseh Magan, a Somali American who formerly worked as a fraud investigator for the Minnesota attorney general’s office, said elected officials in the state — and particularly those who were part of the state’s Democratic-led administration — were reluctant to take more assertive action in response to allegations in the Somali community.
“There is a perception that forcefully tackling this issue might cause political backlash among the Somali community, which is a core voting bloc” for Democrats, said Mr. Magan, who is among the few prominent figures in the Somali community to speak about the fraud.
Again, we reported it, what’s extraordinary is that the Times is reporting it, and the paper comes so close to saying the ‘unsayable’.
“The episode has raised broader questions for some residents about the sustainability of Minnesota’s Scandinavian-modeled system of robust safety net programs bankrolled by high taxes. That system helped create an environment that drew immigrants to the state over many decades, including tens of thousands of Somali refugees after their country descended into civil war in the 1990s.”
Indeed. But what are those questions? The paper won’t say.
But the obvious question is that a welfare system geared to Americans can’t survive if it’s being ripped off by a foreign invasive group with no skin in the game and a religious doctrine entitling them to take whatever they want from infidels. And no, they don’t pay those ‘high taxes’.
The same thing has been happening in Sweden and Norway.
The reckoning is the one that President Trump put forward. You can’t have a Scandinavian and a Somali culture together.
