Federal prosecutors uncovered over a billion dollars stolen through fake nonprofits that claimed to provide aid but delivered little or no service.The Times reported how the state&#8217;s generous safety net attracted immigrants from war-torn Somalia, whose cultural experiences wiht corruption allegedly made the fraud possible. Despite suspicions and warnings by state officials, fear of accusations of racism allowed the scams to continue. The author argues this situation exemplifies the problems of unchecked immigration and expansive welfare programs promoted by Democrats, contending that these policies enable criminal behavior and exploitation of the system.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bi9-zviZpJI\" target=\"_blank\">Fox 9 Minneapolis-st. paul\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/03\/scamming-somalis-are-the-love-children-of-dems-mass-welfare-and-immigration-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Scamming%20Somalis%20Are%20The%20Love%20Children%20Of%20Dems%E2%80%99%20Mass%20Welfare%20And%20Immigration%20Policies&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/03\/scamming-somalis-are-the-love-children-of-dems-mass-welfare-and-immigration-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Scamming%20Somalis%20Are%20The%20Love%20Children%20Of%20Dems%E2%80%99%20Mass%20Welfare%20And%20Immigration%20Policies&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/03\/scamming-somalis-are-the-love-children-of-dems-mass-welfare-and-immigration-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/03\/scamming-somalis-are-the-love-children-of-dems-mass-welfare-and-immigration-policies\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Scamming%20Somalis%20Are%20The%20Love%20Children%20Of%20Dems%E2%80%99%20Mass%20Welfare%20And%20Immigration%20Policies&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/03\/scamming-somalis-are-the-love-children-of-dems-mass-welfare-and-immigration-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print();

The New York Times, of all places, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/11\/29\/us\/fraud-minnesota-somali.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">captured<\/a> the enraging nature of the situation in an article last weekend. &ldquo;The episode has raised broader questions for some residents about the sustainability of Minnesota&rsquo;s Scandinavian-modeled system of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >robust safety net programs bankrolled<\/a> by high taxes,&rdquo; the paper wrote. &ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><em>Wait, you mean impoverished foreigners from a war-torn, wildly corrupted country will flock to a state with European-style welfare giveaways and ultimately abuse the system? You&rsquo;re telling me for the first time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In one of the schemes, according to the Times, the state government had projected it would send out a few million dollars per year in reimbursements to organizations providing services to individuals at risk of homelessness, only to end up dumping more than $100 million into the fraudulent operation, which allegedly provided no service at all. (Two of the eight people prosecuted in the matter pleaded guilty.)<\/p>\n<p>Another fake nonprofit said it was providing free meals to the needy and seeking reimbursement from the government, only to, once again, allegedly provide nothing (or almost nothing) to anyone. Administrators suspected something foul was afoot, but they kept pushing money out the door after the Somalis threatened to publicly accuse them of racism.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In 2020, Minnesota Department of Education officials who administered the program became overwhelmed by the number of applicants seeking to register new feeding sites and began raising questions about the plausibility of some invoices,&rdquo; the Times reported. &ldquo;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 &lsquo;minority-owned businesses&rsquo; would result in a lawsuit featuring accusations of racism that would be &lsquo;sprawled across the news.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This is what happens when Democrats are allowed to run things. They import Third World cultures and turn everyday life into a giant scam. That&rsquo;s not just my assessment. Ahmed Samatar, a professor at Macalester College who is of Somali descent, said the same thing. &ldquo;Dr. Samatar said that Somali refugees who came to the United States after their country&rsquo;s civil war were raised in a culture in which stealing from the country&rsquo;s dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread,&rdquo; wrote the Times. &ldquo;Minnesota, he said, proved susceptible to rampant fraud because it is &lsquo;so tolerant, so open and so geared toward keeping an eye on the weak.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>When Democrats swear not a single dollar can be cut from welfare programs and not a single immigrant should be deported, this is what they&rsquo;re promoting.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\">Traitors: The Democrat Party&rsquo;s Collapse into Anti-American Filth<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-30 bdr-top-bold-black\">\n<div class=\"row g-0 align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"article-author-profile d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n<div class=\"article-author-details\">\n<div class=\"label-md\">Eddie Scarry<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-twitter label-sm d-flex align-items-center mt-10\">             <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter me-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>             <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Visit on Twitter<\/span>            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eScarry\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-decoration-none\">@eScarry<\/a>           <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-md-end mt-15 mt-md-0\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/author\/eddiescarry\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">More Articles<\/a>     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Democrats<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/feeding-our-future\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Feeding Our Future<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/fraud\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Fraud<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/ilhan-omar\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Ilhan Omar<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/immigration\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Immigration<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/minneapolis\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Minneapolis<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/minnesota\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Minnesota<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/new-york-times\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">New York Times<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/somalia\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Somalia<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/somalis\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Somalis<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/third-world\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Third World<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/welfare\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Welfare<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Credit Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul\/YouTube Share Article on Facebook, Twitter, Truth Social, Email, or Copy Link.
