You have been “combating” fraud since 2019, allowing fraud for 6 years sounds like you have been “enabling” fraud. You obviously don’t give “damn”. Start working for the people who pay taxes instead of allowing their dollars to end up in the hands of the Al-Shabaab

Who Is Helping Low IQ Migrants Defraud American Taxpayers?

December 31, 2025 12 Comments

By Brandon Smith

I’ve been writing about the inherent fraud behind third-world immigration for many years now, including the rarely addressed issue of remittances flowing from migrants in the US back to their countries of origin. Third worlders tend to act like a nest of vampires, bleeding the US and giving indirect sustenance to their failing home economies. This process is heavily enabled by foreign governments that rely on this river of dollars to stay afloat.  This is why political leaders in countries like Mexico and India lobby so hard to keep US borders open. They need that cash.

One problem I have consistently seen with mainstream coverage of this issue is that it often overlooks the fact that migrants who steal from American taxpayers almost always have help from people within our government.

To be sure, most Americans understand that the Biden Administration, for example, widely supported open borders and the mass invasion of foreigners. What they might not understand (until recently) is how deeply blue states and blue city governments have been involved in the scams. Minnesota is a prime test case.

The question needs to be asked: Who taught these third world migrants how to set up false business fronts to defraud taxpayer subsidies? Who has been hiding their blatantly illegal activities? How have they been getting away with the scam for so long despite incidents of high level whistleblowers calling out their criminality?

I often hear the argument (largely from migrants and leftists) that because these people are so clever in their racketeering they deserve to stay in the US. In other words, why would we want to kick out hundreds of thousand of people who are “so resourceful.”

First I would point out that it’s a common misconception that conmen are highly intelligent. You don’t have to be a polymath to rip innocent people off, you just have to be evil. Evil is often mistaken for genius because high trust societies have a hard time comprehending predatory behavior. They don’t catch it because they don’t expect it. Midwestern states like Minnesota used to be high trust, but that is quickly changing.

That said, a fraudster would at least need to have a comprehensive understanding of the system he intends to scam, not to mention the basic intelligence needed to enact the scam.  

The majority of migrants from countries like Somalia are generally low IQ – They are not very smart, which means the only explanation for their success in fraud so far is that they have help from the very system they are defrauding.

This is not hyperbole meant to insult Somalis, it’s simply a statistical fact. Somalia has one of the lowest IQ populations in the world, with the average IQ of Somali refugees and migrants sitting at 67. The country also flounders near the bottom of every list of average IQ measurements among hundreds of nations.

To put this in perspective, the average IQ score of the US population is 100, along with around 34% of the global population. Less than 9% of the global populace has an IQ over 120. Less than 1% have an IQ over 135 (considered “gifted” level intelligence). But what about the low end of the spectrum? The number of people within the global population with an IQ lower than 70 is 2% – Meaning the average IQ in Somalia is rare because it’s so minuscule.

These people are not criminal masterminds; they are useful pawns in a bigger scheme.

In 2018, Minneapolis TV station KMSP-Fox 9 aired an investigative report alleging that over $100 million in CCAP funds had been fraudulently obtained, primarily by Somali-owned or operated daycare centers in the Twin Cities area. A whistleblower from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) claimed much of the money was leaving the country, potentially reaching Somalia and the Middle East.

Nearly 20% of Somalia’s total GDP comes from remittances from migrants in the US back to Somalia.

There were around 60 convictions at the conclusion of the case, however, a wider investigation into Somalian fraud networks was not pursued, at least not with much enthusiasm. The exposure of the fraud was met with an immediate spin campaign, asserting that the case was racially motivated.

Protests and propaganda efforts were organized by an NGO called CAIR-Minnesota (the state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations). CAIR receives funding from a number of leftist NGOs and also garnered funds from the federal government under the Biden Administration.

Minnesota politicians closely associated with CAIR include State Rep. Ilhan Omar, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Governor Tim Walz.

In the case of YouTuber Nick Shirley’s recent exposure of Somali front businesses, Democrat leaders, the leftist media and NGOs have once again come to the rescue of the alleged fraudsters. Shirley has been accused of “white supremacy” merely for pointing out possible criminal activity, and anyone supporting him is accused of racism. There is a well-oiled machine protecting these people, helping them to escape scrutiny.

When Somali related fraud cases in Minnesota go before a judge, they are often dismissed despite ample evidence. The judges involved, including Sarah West, Amber Brennan, and Hilary Caligiurare, are ALL Democrat appointed.

Democrats in government have been integral to the continued survival of Somali fraud networks in the US. Minnesota under Tim Walz offers extensive state benefits for “refugees”, including ample welfare (over 81% of Somalis in Minnesota are on welfare).

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) provides low-interest loans (typically $5,000–$150,000) to startups and expanding businesses owned/operated by minorities, women, veterans, persons with disabilities, or low-income individuals. The institution does not provide public data on who is getting these loans, but Somali migrants seem to be enjoying special access.

The loans help Somalis to launch the very businesses at the center of the current fraud controversy.

James Clark, the Inspector General of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) as of late 2025, has publicly raised concerns about fraud in DHS-administered programs, including those implicated in cases involving Somali providers (e.g., Medicaid services like autism therapy and housing stabilization, as well as childcare-related issues tied to the ongoing scandals).

Clearly, nothing was done by Democrats from 2018 to today, at least nothing that would lead to actual arrests. But why?

The Somali motive is clear: They have established what is essentially a raider colony in the US designed to siphon billions of dollars from American taxpayers and transfer those funds overseas. They see an opportunity to plunder and they’ve taken it. And, with Democrat leaders running interference, the migrants are emboldened to expand.

The Democrats, however, have more complex and long term plans. Since the Obama era Somalis have received expedited immigration and citizen status because of the instability within their home country. As “refugees” they get fast-tracked. This helps us to answer the question “why use Somalis?”

They are also 99% Muslim, and around 80% of Muslim migrants vote Democrat. In states with tight elections, adding 100,000 migrant voters who represent a surefire demographic for progressive candidates can tip most elections in the favor of Dems for decades. In Minnesota’s major elections, Democrats won all contested statewide executive offices, all U.S. Senate races, and the presidential vote in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

In most of these elections Dems won by 100,000 to 200,000 votes. In other words, Dems have secured a loyal majority edge through incentivized third world immigration. And in exchange, they allow migrants fast citizenship, easy access to subsidies and minimal scrutiny as they commit theft.

I would argue that the partnership goes well beyond incentives and suggest that Democrats and NGOs are training migrants on how to commit fraud. Investigations into Somali businesses need to extend to local Democrat leaders and any organizations that closely align with migrant operations.

I often hear the argument that the number of migrants involved in this criminal activity is small in comparison to the 100,000 plus migrants in Minnesota. I’m not going to explain per capita to these people yet again, but I would point out that I see no Somalis jumping at the chance to apologize for the behavior of their very tribal community.

None of them are coming forward to demand transparency. None of them are acting to police their own. There is absolutely no attempt at assimilation with America’s society or laws.

Instead, we see Somalis all over social media defending the criminals, dismissing the evidence and even bragging about the extent of the crimes. This is why Donald Trump referred to them as “garbage”; because that’s what they are. It is apparently a feature built into their culture – To justify theft as a means to assert dominance over other cultures they see as prey.

Much like a dog marking its territory, third world cultures tend to view criminal actions against foreigners as a way to “leave their scent” and send a message to the host population that they are in charge.

As I have argued over the years, immigrants see the US as a big fat cash cow waiting to be milked. They just didn’t have the mental capacity to take advantage on a large scale until our own bureaucrats and non-profits started helping them. Deporting these migrant groups is necessary, but it is also a temporary solution to a bigger problem.

In the end, the only way to stop the plunder is to punish the politicians and NGOs behind the curtain. Examples need to be made.

Exclusive: Ilhan Omar’s hubby’s $30M firm quietly scrubs names from website – as ‘Squad’ member faces mounting questions on sudden wealth amid Minnesota welfare fraud | Gabrielle Fahmy & Geoff Earle, New York Post Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details — including former Obama officials — as scrutiny grows over the family’s skyrocketing wealth, The Post has learned. Omar (D-MN) went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year — as a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolded right under her nose in Minnesota. Close to 90 people have been charged so far, including at least three with direct ties to the lefty Squad member, though she has not been charged. It was Somalia-born Omar — who was seen in a resurfaced video last month dishing out food in a restaurant now at the heart of the scandal — who introduced the legislation critics say paved the way for what the feds have called the largest fraud of the pandemic. The Jimmy Choo wearing socialist introduced the MEALS Act in Congress in 2020, relaxing oversight of government sponsored children’s meals programs during the pandemic, which critics say allowed fraudsters to claim they served millions of meals without verification, while pocketing millions of dollars in government subsidies. Shortly after the scheme played out, Omar’s husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, launched Rose Lake Capital in 2022, a venture capital management firm. The company saw its reported value go from nearly zero in 2023, to between $5 million and $25 million in just a year, and touted its officers’ $60 billion in “previous” assets under management — an amount many Wall Street money managers only dream of. “There’s a lot of strange things going on,” said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center. “She was basically broke when she came into office and now she’s worth perhaps up to $30 million…she needs to come clean on these assets.” Rose Lake Capital, which touts its “deep global networks built from on-the-ground work in more than 80 countries,” had less than $1,000 in assets in 2023, according to Omar’s financial disclosure. Yet despite the reported windfall, the business’s only address is a WeWork in DC, according to its LinkedIn page. Between September and October — when federal prosecutors announced charges to eight more individuals, including six of Somali descent, for their roles in the welfare scheme — the names and bios of Rose Lake Capitals’s nine officers and advisors were removed from the website. None of them were charged in the fraud. These names include lobbyist and former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli; former Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus; DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman; former DNC treasurer William Derrough and former ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank Keith Mestrich, who once described Amalgamated as “the institutional bank of the Democratic Party.” Meanwhile Mynett’s other business, a California winery that previously faced fraud allegations and was declared a failed venture in 2023, was suddenly worth between $1 million and $5 million in 2024 — a windfall of 9,900%. The fraud case involved a wine investor suing Mynett in Oct. 2023, accusing him of swindling him of $900,000 as he “fraudulently misrepresented … that estCru, LLC was a legitimate company.” Mynett claimed he simply struggled to build a business during the pandemic. The case settled out of court in November. The winery, eStCru, at some point around 2022 promoted a line of wines with names like “Blockchain” and “The Devil’s Lie,” with a prestigious California winemaker who said she abruptly stopped getting paid in early 2023. The business was only worth between $15,000 and $50,000 in Omar’s financial disclosure that year, making the sudden windfall the next year even more puzzling. It, too, is listed as operating out of a WeWork, and doesn’t appear to actually sell any wines anymore, according to extensive internet searches. Despite the high worth placed on the business, its website is a broken link, the phone number is disconnected and the last social media post for the winery dates back to 2023. “While working families were being ripped off by a massive welfare scam, Omar’s campaign took money from convicted fraudsters, her husband launched a firm that suddenly ballooned in value, and [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz looked the other way,” slammed Kiersten Pels, spokesperson for the Republican National Committee. When she first took office in 2019, the left-wing “Squad” member declared a net worth between negative $25,000 and negative $65,000, claimed to own no assets and only carrying student and car debt. Now Omar’s assets have suddenly skyrocketed to anywhere between $6 million to $30 million, according to her latest financial disclosure — just months after the congresswoman dismissed claims she was a millionaire as “ridiculous” and “categorically false.” Her links to the Minnesota welfare scheme have started to come to light in recent weeks. Her campaign received $7,400 in direct donations from at least three now-convicted fraudsters, though the Squad member defended she returned the donations after the scandal broke. She’s been closely linked to at least two individuals from Minnesota’s Somalian community who’ve been charged in the fraud. One is Salim Ahmed Said, the co-owner of Safari Restaurant, where Omar held her 2018 congressional victory party. Said was found guilty in August of stealing more than $12 million for serving 3.9 million “phantom” meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, blowing much of the money on a $2 million Minneapolis mansion and a $9,000-a-month shopping habit at Nordstrom, according to prosecutors. “Does Ilhan Omar know these people? Are they from her wonderfully managed Home Country of Somalia?” President Trump posted on his Truth Social platform when the news of the charges first broke. “Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great state, and billions of dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from.” As the scam was underway in 2020, Omar even appeared on video at Minneapolis’ Safari Restaurant to praise the program. “Every day Safari provides 2,300 meals to children and their families,” she boasted in Somali in the video, while being filmed handing trays of food in a parking lot with her pandemic-era facemask pulled down below her nose. The other individual, Guhaad Hashi Said, worked on Omar’s campaign in 2018 and 2020, and pleaded guilty in August to running a fake food site called Advance Youth Athletic Development, where he falsely claimed to serve 5,000 meals a day and pocketed $3.2 million out of the food program. On Capitol Hill last week, Omar said she had no regrets about introducing the MEALS Act. “Absolutely not, it did help feed kids,” she told a reporter. Minnesota governor Tim Waltz – Kamala Harris’ former running mate – has also faced intense scrutiny for letting the scandal unfold under his watch. Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote a letter calling for him to resign, and Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) hinted at possible criminal charges. “Ilhan Omar is as disingenuous as they come,” he told The Post Saturday. “She promotes socialist policies while cashing in a taxpayer-funded paycheck and sitting on tens of millions of dollars. At least now we have an explanation for why she’s so out of touch with the priorities of hardworking, everyday Minnesotans.” The Treasury and Justice Department has already launched an investigation into the alleged money laundering. When reached for comment, Omar’s communications director sent The Post a message saying the entire office was closed until Jan. 5 – without offering an alternative contact. Mynett did not return The Post’s messages, and both his businesses’ numbers were not working. nypost.com/2025/12/27/us-
