You\u2019re not the villain. You just have working eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Take Luke Rosiak, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Daily Wire<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u2018s investigative reporter, who this week <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/medicaid-millionaires-how-the-feds-pay-immigrants-billions-to-hang-out-with-their-families%20?contentProgram=Medicaid%20Millionaires%3A%20How%20The%20Feds%20Pay%20Immigrants%20Billions%20To%20Hang%20Out%20With%20Their%20Families&amp;contentType=Post&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;location=Home%20Tab&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Home%20Featured%20Carousel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">exposed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> what looks like a billion-dollar Medicaid scam in Columbus, Ohio. While doing his job \u2014 following the money, documenting the waste, naming the names \u2014 an individual at one of the companies under his microscope called him a \u201cracist.\u201d That\u2019s the play, isn\u2019t it? Do the illegal thing, claim victim status. Point out the illegal thing, get called a fascist, racist, bigot \u2014 oh my!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Over the last several months, through the work of DOGE and investigative journalists like Rosiak and Christopher F. Rufo, Americans have been jolted awake to the staggering misuse of their tax dollars. Our hard-earned money is being funneled through welfare programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP, and in some cases, traced all the way to terrorist organizations abroad, often finessed by the very people this country so generously welcomed in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In early 2025, DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, was charged with exposing and cutting federal waste, fraud, and abuse. With faith, trust, and Big Balls, $215 billion in fraud was found and cut, and the citizen cavalry didn\u2019t stop there. In November 2025, Rufo and Ryan Thorpe broke early ground on Minnesota, detailing what they <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/article\/minnesota-welfare-fraud-somalia-al-shabaab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> as a $9 billion fraud scheme embedded in the state\u2019s welfare and childcare programs, particularly Somali-run operations. Federal prosecutors alleged some of those funds traveled beyond Minnesota all the way to al-Shabaab, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization responsible for attacks that have killed Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Hey, Happy Thanksgiving! You\u2019re being robbed, and the cash is being packed into suitcases and shipped to the third world! Blessings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/medicaid-millionaires-how-the-feds-pay-immigrants-billions-to-hang-out-with-their-families\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE: DW Investigation Reveals One Of The Biggest Government Waste Scandals Hiding In Plain Sight<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In December of that same year, Nick Shirley\u2019s 42-minute investigation into Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota dropped on social media. The investigation uncovered an estimated $110 million in suspected fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In March of 2026, Shirley turned his lens on California, uncovering another $170 million in fraud via fake hospice centers. Rufo followed with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Gavin Newsom\u2019s Empire of Fraud<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">, estimating the state had hemorrhaged $180 billion to welfare scams involving dead people, prisoners, and criminal networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Californication? More like Califraudication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Which brings us to this week. Rosiak. Columbus, Ohio. Another billion dollars. At the center of it all \u2014 the Somali community, once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Cue the racist smears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Why is it that when you follow the highway-robbery road, it so often leads back to this diaspora?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Democrats\u2019 bleeding hearts, progressives\u2019 polite niceties, and the clans they imported created the perfect conditions for this tribal and criminal storm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the Western world outside of Somalia itself. Over 150,000 Somalis arrived in America beginning in the 1990s; that number now totals roughly 260,000, including U.S.-born children, the vast majority of whom are concentrated in Minnesota. The state didn\u2019t just become a resettlement hub; it became a target-rich environment, and the welfare state was the target.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In Somalia, clan-based loyalty isn\u2019t cultural flavor; it\u2019s the operating system. As Somali-American author Ayaan Hirsi Ali has written, growing up there meant \u201cloyalty to kin was absolute. Loyalty to the nation was theoretical at best.\u201d The state is not a civic institution; it\u2019s a resource. Something to be manipulated, defrauded, and stripped for parts, all in service of the clan. It is about survival. It is about control. The nation is irrelevant; your tribe is everything. Everyone outside it is a threat, not a neighbor. This mindset doesn\u2019t just enable fraud; it sanctifies it \u2014 and it sustains cycles of trauma, radicalism, and revenge that make genuine integration nearly impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">For many in this community, the American government has not been a ladder to assimilation. It has been a vending machine. Not a tool for integration, a tool for exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The numbers make this impossible to dispute, which is why the Left throws the word \u201cracist\u201d around. Minnesota\u2019s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program saw annual payouts explode by 4,515%. The Feeding Our Future child nutrition program received $3.4 million in 2019; by 2021, that number had ballooned to $200 million. In 2023 alone, Medicaid paid out $399 million in autism-related claims tied to Somali children, with a staggering 1-in-16 four-year-olds diagnosed. The money funded luxury cars and lavish homes, not the vulnerable children it claimed to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">When the indictments poured in, the majority of perpetrators were members of Minnesota\u2019s Somali community: Moktar Hassan Aden, Mustafa Dayib Ali, Khalid Ahmed Dayib, and Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed. In Columbus, Ohio? Same story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/inside-ohios-home-health-empire-7-buildings-288-medicaid-companies-250-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inside Ohio\u2019s Home Health Empire: 7 Buildings, 288 Medicaid Companies, $250 Million<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">As Rosiak put it: \u201cThey all share combinations of just a few names, like Ahmed Mohamed and Mohamed Ahmed. Documents reviewed by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Daily Wire<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> show individuals will spell their own name multiple different ways within a single document. And many of them list their birthday as January 1, because their birthdates are unknown.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Laughable. And when the auditors finally came looking, much of the money was already bilked, moved through hawala, an informal Islamic money transfer system that operates almost entirely off the books and leaves virtually no paper trail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Our hard-earned cash, flying in a suitcase over the Indian Ocean, on its way to Mogadishu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This isn\u2019t a uniquely American problem. Somali clusters in Stockholm, London, and Toronto have followed the same playbook, testing the limits of liberal democracies that mistook empathy for surrender. The result, in each case: entrenched poverty, failing schools, and gang violence hardening into generational dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The diagnosis has been made. The only question is whether our ruling class has the spine to follow through on treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Anyone entering this nation must assimilate and integrate into the civic and social fabric of the country taking them in. That expectation is not bigotry. It is the basic contract of immigration. It is especially non-negotiable when people are arriving from places where rape is routine, women are killed with impunity, and justice is rarely served.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We don\u2019t do that here. And our tax dollars sure as hell shouldn\u2019t be subsidizing it over there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The prescription is straightforward: financial restrictions tied to verified citizenship status, aggressive taxation on remittance transfers, prosecutorial teeth in immigration-related fraud cases, and the backbone to see it all through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Reporters aren\u2019t racist for exposing rot. You aren\u2019t racist for talking about it. As for the leftists who let this fester for decades while calling everyone else a bigot? They have a lot of explaining to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/why-government-waste-keeps-leading-us-to-the-somali-community\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dearest readers, if you\u2019ve ever been called a racist, bigot, or fascist pig simply for pointing out what\u2019s in front of you, have no fear.
