Minnesota was known as a pleasant place, aside from the climate, with a high standard of living. But then Democrats implemented their strategy of ensuring electoral dominance via demographic engineering. Turns out that importing massive numbers of unassimilable moochers from the most corrupt and arguably the most dysfunctional country on the planet has negative societal effects — not to mention staggering costs for taxpayers.

The Center for Immigration Studies has the stats on what Democrats have accomplished in Minnesota regarding government dependency. Some of the highlights:

• More than half (52 percent) of children in Somali immigrant homes in Minnesota live in poverty, while only 8 percent of children in native-headed homes are in poverty.

• About 39 percent of working-age Somalis have no high school diploma, compared to just 5 percent of natives.

• About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent.

• Nearly every Somali household with children (89 percent) receives some form of welfare.

Meanwhile, even in light of the unfolding >$1 billion Somali welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota, Governor Tampon Tim Walz calls for opening the floodgates even wider. Not even the most gullible wokester could be so delusional as to believe that to be in Ameria’s best interests.

What Democrats have been doing to Minnesota demonstrates what they intend to inflict on the country as a whole. The plan is to use mass Third World immigration and the welfare state to force us to finance our own displacement and the deliberate ruination of our country.
