While the Somali Fraud gets all the headlines, people don't realize how lucrative we make it in Minnesota for the Somali's to come here, hate America and not work
Say there is an Unemployed Somali Couple with 3 kids...here are the LEGAL benefits they get,(without ANY of the Fraud)
Free housing (Up to $2500/mo)
Roughly $2,000/month in cash and food benefits
Full medical coverage for the whole family, Zero Out of Pocket
Energy assistance grant for utilities. Covers most or all
Discounted or free cell phone/internet via the Lifeline program
WIC for young children and infants, plus free school meals
$2500 a month for Daycare,(can be paid to the nieghbor)
Oh and if the Kids are "Autistic" they get $990/mo for each, non taxed because its SSI
So while we need to go after the Fraud, we also need to look at the LEGAL benefits we are providing to people that hate us and hate our country
