LIZ PEEK: Massive Minnesota welfare heist proves Democrats can't police their own mess
The massive Somali-orchestrated welfare fraud in Minnesota grew so big, even The New York Times had to cover it.
The takeaways are delicious: an indictment of sloppy Democrat-run Big Government, a repudiation of immigration policies that favor groups that decline to assimilate and that in some cases embrace anti-U.S. sentiment and exposing Governor Tim Walz for the lightweight he is.
Over several years, a cabal of (mostly) Somali refugees in Minnesota pulled off a giant heist of the state’s funds, embarrassing Democrat officials and highlighting once again the fraud that permeates our welfare programs. It was a theft so mammoth that hundreds of employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services wrote anonymously on X that Walz, who served as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate in 2024, "has failed Minnesota" and added, "Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota."
No wonder the liberal media has been mostly mute about the multiyear scandal that the Times describes as "staggering in its scale and brazenness," and that resulted in the loss of more than$1 billion of taxpayer funds. That’s as much, the Times notes, as Minnesota spends annually on its Department of Corrections.
