Minnesota is drowning in fraud.

Apparently, Congresswoman Omar may have been involved in this fraud.

What did Ilhan Omar know about the $1B welfare fraud case in her Minnesota district?

“[Rep. Omar] knew who these people were. People she personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars in this program.”

The article doesn’t allege that she was involved in it.

@rambot due to your silence, your obvious answer is "nothing." There is absolutely nothing about Samali heritage that is of value to the United States. Furthermore, why is Samali heritage important to you, much less the American citizen in general? Because in my opinion, their heritage produced an African hell scape. They claim to be fleeing said hell scape, but everywhere they muster, they trying bringing that hell scape with them. Perhaps the problem IS their heritage and culture, not the country they claim to be fleeing from.

Shall we apply your "logic" to every immigrant group that fled their home country for the United States?

I wonder how familiar folks are with the culture they’re deriding.

Yes. If it is not in the best interest of the United States, they should not come, or should be sent home.

I have yet to hear anything about Somalian culture that benefits the United States. Got anything?

 

[wing2000]

Yes. If it is not in the best interest of the United States, they should not come, or should be sent home.

Just to be clear, you assert that because some Nigerians are criminals, all Nigerians should be assumed to be criminals because in your words, "their culture produced an African hellscape"?

I've yet to hear anything about angry conservative culture that benefits the United States. Got anything?

Have you tried asking anybody who's been to Somalia or who lives around Somalis? Have you tried reading a book about the Somali people? Have you tried reading articles written by or listening to podcasts featuring Somalis who've immigrated to the US?

IOW, have you actually gone looking for it in a sincere manner? Or have you just taken your ignorance as proof that such cultural benefits don't exist?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

None whatsoever. What part of Samali heritage is of value to the United States?

It’s Somali. At least learn to spell it correctly. We can’t have illiterate people dumbing down the culture of our nation, you know. But since you brought it up, how about some examples from other cultures you believe have contributed positively so we can see what metric you’re using to judge Somalia?

Your deflection to avoid answering proved my point.

Deflecting the question with another question with an ad hominem? You just proved my point.

They gave you that classic Movie 'Black Hawk Down'.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Just to be clear, you assert that because some Nigerians are criminals, all Nigerians should be assumed to be criminals because in your words, "their culture produced an African hellscape"?

Apparently I was not clear enough since even you cannot think of a single example of Somalian heritage and culture that brings value to the United States.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

They gave you that classic Movie 'Black Hawk Down'.

Oh! And that one movie where the Somali pirates hold Tom Hanks hostage.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

You just proved my point.

I didn’t think you really had one besides displaying your ignorance of and hatred for other cultures.

Where do your people hail from and how have they and specifically you, contributed to our country?

 

[iluvatar5150]

Your deflection to avoid answering proved my point.

And your refusing to answer proves mine.

I don’t know anything about Somali culture, but I don’t automatically assume that my ignorance of a thing makes it worthless.

OTOH, I have a ton of experience with angry conservative culture and am very confident in assessing it as worthless.

Ilhan Omar's links to Somali food fraud scheme in Minnesota revealed​

New details reveal Ilhan Omar's potential links to those convicted in the Somali fraud case in Minnesota.​

​

The progressive Somali-born congresswoman has so far not been directly tied by prosecutors to the scandal - but she does have connections to at least two convicted food fraudsters.​

​

And now the Trump administration is investigating whether the millions fraudulently obtained were then funneled to terrorist organizations, including Somalia-based Al-Shabaab.​

Yes. If it is not in the best interest of the United States, they should not come, or should be sent home.

Mmmmm... Can't you just feel that Christian love of their neighbor.

Ilhan Omar pressed to explain how fraud in Minnesota got 'so out of control'​

During a Wednesday interview on CNN’s "The Lead with Jake Tapper," Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., appeared to struggle to explain how fraud became "so out of control" in Minnesota after federal officials announced an investigation into an alleged Somali fraud network operating in the state.

You go first. What value did your "heritabe and culture" bring to the United States?

 

[Say it aint so]

Clearly, we have very strong disagreements about your conclusions.

Be precise. What is it you disagree with? And what support to you offer to conclude there is reason to disagree with what I said.
