A major welfare fraud scandal involving Minnesota’s Somali community has been described as “the single greatest theft of taxpayer dollars through welfare fraud in American history,” according to Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy.
Miller, who also advises President Trump on homeland security, indicated that this fraudulent activity, allegedly perpetrated by numerous Somali migrants in Minnesota, is set to have significant implications for both state and national politics.
“We believe we have only just begun to uncover the extent of this issue,” he remarked during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News.
Authorities have charged numerous residents with exploiting a program originally intended to supply food to children during the pandemic.
To date, 59 individuals have been convicted in connection with these extensive fraud schemes, which amount to a staggering $1 billion.
Trump in an online post has vowed to send Somalis “back to where they came from,” and on Tuesday unloaded on Somalis migrants to the country.
“They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country,” Trump said during a cabinet meeting. “Their country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks and we don’t want them in our country.”
