Do you think demonizing an entire group of people based on their country of origin represents the best of America?

Another misleading article. Here is a more truthful version:

AI Generated
The extensive Minnesota fraud scandal, centered on the Feeding Our Future non-profit and its partners, exploited federal child nutrition programs during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the theft of an estimated over $1 billion across multiple social service programs. The core of the scheme occurred from 2020 through 2021, bridging both the Trump and Biden administrations; state officials first spotted signs of fraud under the Trump administration in 2019, but the federal indictments and subsequent convictions of over 60 individuals have taken place under the Biden administration, with more charges and trials expected as the investigation continues. As Governor, Tim Walz and his administration are responsible for state oversight of the programs, and critics allege a failure to act on early warnings and slow action in halting the theft. Walz has publicly accepted responsibility for the failures in oversight, asserting his team caught the fraud and referred it to the FBI. While the vast majority of Minnesota's Somali community—estimated to be over 76,000 people—were not involved, the actions of dozens of charged individuals, some of whom are of Somali descent, are not representative of the community at large, and the fraud had nothing to do with the Somali people currently residing in Minnesota. This fact is in stark contrast to the disgusting act of conflating the criminal scheme with the entire community, with President Trump publicly attacking the state's Somali population and calling them "garbage" in connection with the scandal. The stolen money was used for luxury cars, high-end real estate, and international travel, rather than for the thousands of meals they falsely claimed to serve to children in need who were the intended beneficiaries of the program.

Be careful about backing Walz. Walz was not, as he claimed, "a retired command sergeant major" nor was he in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre-- he was home in Nebraska. Does Walz say "the buck stops here?" Here's a short video, with Walz at the beginning:

 

[Say it aint so]

I don't know if Tim Walz is Christian, but finally, someone living the taking care of "the least of us" as Jesus noted.
Just wish more folks who claim to be Christian would take Jesus's teachings in consideration.

Did Christ's teachings include bringing in a culture from another nation which practices fraud and tribalism and stealing billions of taxes from us

No culture practices that. Good job falling in line with vilifying an entire immigrant community by the crimes of very small percentage of them.

 

[Say it aint so]

Ask that question aloud to yourself. And name me one culture that has not come America and have been immune from enacting some kind of fraud? The Native Americans would love to know.

Perhaps Christians, specially Trump supporting Christians should revisit their Bibles and concentrate on what Jesus asked of them in those red letter verses.

And btw, surely to be appealed but those convictions just got overturned.

 

[Vambram]

There are lots of cultures all over the world that live in sinful practices. There are also cultures of people who have immigrated to nations without assimilating to that nation.

Perhaps Christians in America should be more careful as to whom we invite into the USA. Perhaps Christians in every nation ought not invite people whom won't assimilate into that nation.

Do you mean those who aren’t Christian? The US does not discriminate based on religion. Right?

It’s not up to them.

That is NOT what I said, nor is it what I meant. Don't put words in my mouth that I didn't say.

 

[Vambram]

So?

So?

It’s not up to them.

I believe that if we have immigration policies that appear to be what it looks like you want that nations will lose their cultural identity. Is that what you want?

 

[comana]

That is NOT what I said, nor is it what I meant. Don't put words in my mouth that I didn't say.

Assimilate means what exactly? You addressed your post to Christians so I assumed you meant religion. Immigrants add to our culture, it has been evolving from the start. Assimilation sounds like stagnation.

Assimilation into a national culture ain't stagnation.

Watch: Tim Walz Tries to Make Somali Fraud Scandal Seem Perfectly Normal, Blames Trump for Talking About It

The words of a liar. The motivation of a coward. And Democrats wanted Tim Walz to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

You believe that. Do you have any evidence? We have had waves of immigrants for hundreds of years and do not seem to have lost our cultural identity yet.

And what of those who were members of the Minnesota government who knew about the fraud, covered for it, and benefited from it? Let's say people like Ilan Omar and Tim Waltz?

If there's evidence of wrongdoing, charge them and let the courts decide. If not, they're innocent until proven guilty, just like everyone else.
