JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Minnesota wasn't always like this. They have deep Scandinavian roots. They say that's why they're so happy and generous. But then we imported thousands from the second most corrupt country in the world, Somalia. They took advantage. People used to know their neighbors and now you can't even talk to them.
[...]
Minnesota gave the Somalis bucket loads of welfare but that wasn't enough. They stole a billion more and when they got caught, they tried bribing jurors. Democrats didn't lay a finger on them because of racial blackmail, so the Somalis ran their racket. Rob us, spend it on luxury apartments and cars, fund some terrorists and then pump thousands into the campaign war chests of Ilhan Omar, the AG Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Small Fry.
Now, all those Democrats are playing the race card too. They say Somalis are the backbone of the community, but the numbers don't back that up. 60% of them are poor. 80% don't even have a high school diploma. Unemployment is in the double digits, and a third are on food stamps. And as you have heard, a lot of them cannot speak English. This is a drain on the system and federal immigration law says we can deny an immigrant residency if they're a public charge, meaning if they are going to rely on government benefits, bye-bye.
