Who else thinks that these revelations of fraud will come to absolutely nothing whatsoever?
I don’t want to be cynical but what is the solution? Dragging screaming, tearful black women in hijabs away from their nine kids? Having that be the news story for months? And then what? Even if several of the fraudsters go on trial, what prevents an army of new ones replacing them? Nobody is getting deported, that’s all a fantasy. We couldn’t deport Kilmar Abrego García who is illegal, and these are all citizens. So then what? Even taxing remittances has not been passed and there seem to be no plans to do it.
And what’s the motivation to do anything? Voters will move on from this story to some imaginary war on Venezuela (if they are on the right) or war on Denmark (if they are on the left).
You should see the procedure I go through to expend state funds on buying printer paper for my department. We keep the paper under lock and key. There’s pre-order accountability and post-order accountability. I know everything that was bought with department money in the past 6 years, and I can guarantee that no state funds were wasted or misappropriated. I’m an honest person, and the recent revelations of mass fraud didn’t tempt me to start stealing. But now whenever I file a request to buy a package of printer paper in the amount of $6.55, I’ll feel stupid. And cynical. That’s the only effect of this debacle. To make honest people cynical and disappointed in the very concept of a country as a meaningful category of engaging with reality.

There are more like 6000 home daycares or “family childcare centers” plus the 1700 or so full-sized daycare centers with active licenses in MN.
Of those, I don’t know how this person decided which names are Somoli-sounding,. The list is available for anyone to see, and the names aren’t a quarter “Somoli-sounding” to me.

After almost three decades of work requirements on welfare, it’s odd for that poster to assume being on welfare means not working at all.
It’s also odd to assume the non-Somolis would have to speak Somoli to go to a Somoli-owned daycare. It has been nearly two decades that Somolis have been immigrating to Minnesota, meaning some Somoli adults got all of their formal schooling in MN. Why couldn’t a daycare with a Somoli-sounding owner’s name operate in English?

So all those women in burqas have high-powered careers that necessitate daycare? What are you on about?
Also, do you have children? Would you leave them with a Somali dude? No, you wouldn’t. And nobody would as evidenced by the fact that we haven’t been hearing from thousands of Anglos whose kids have been at the “Learing Center”.

Please look at the actual list of daycares and not at what someone else is telling you the ownership is.
Daycares with less than a dozen kids are women who run babysitting for the neighbors out of their home — exacctly the kind of daycare poor peope use when they go to work.

I’m not going to count it individually because I have a life but just from the first page, doesn’t it seem like an insanely high number for such a small percentage of the population, especially since it’s a group where people do not need childcare?

An immigrant group with over 80% on welfare is a scandal in and of itself. The US government wanted to deport N, a quiet, law-abiding, taxpaying immigrant who never claimed a cent in welfare. But people like these are all extremely necessary and should be brought in en masse. What explanation is there besides the very obvious one?

I dare you to listen to this woman, five times. Listen to the catch in her voice on “every day” and “and…[hard swallow] move to our state” Starts 20 seconds in.
How much money did she take? And how not-careful was she about the papertrail?
