Somali grifters have looted taxpayers for as much as $9 billion in Minnesota. If only that were the extent of it.

Via LifeZette:

An independent journalist in Ohio has released a video investigation alleging extensive fraud schemes involving the misuse of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits within parts of the state’s Somali community, adding to broader scrutiny of welfare programs and oversight failures.

A favorite scam involves connecting restaurants to grocery stores.

According to the journalist, these grocery stores are able to process EBT transactions for bulk food purchases, which are then used to supply the adjacent restaurants.

Then the grocery stores — which do their business in cash — report large losses that can be used to claim tax write-offs.

Muslim polygamous marriages also increase access to entitlement moola. Multiple wives get paid to be single mothers while working low-wage jobs as they displace the American population by squirting out staggering quantities of offspring.

He says Nakia was absolutely right. Hear from this Columbus resident here.

Meanwhile, in Washington State:

There are 539 childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language. Most don’t even give a street address.

I don’t know how many of these are submitting fraudulent claims for state grants and subsidies, but I have a strong hunch the number is not zero. pic.twitter.com/FoUQiFNqM6

At the Daily Signal, Jarrett Stepman sums up the liberal mentality that produced this situation:

This toxic, civilizationally suicidal impulse of misguided, self-destructive “empathy” mixed with self-loathing is costing us far more than the billions of dollars already pillaged from state coffers. In the end, it may cost us everything.

Combine the welfare state with open borders and you get a looting spree that will bleed America to death. Due to relative reproduction rates, the problem will continue to get increasingly severe even if Democrats do not open the immigration floodgates all the way — and once they get the opportunity, they will.
