False refugee study used by Dems to justify open borders — and massive spending
Opinion by Don Barnett • 13h

Even as massive fraud schemes are uncovered in Minnesota, orchestrated primarily by Somali refugees, Democrats are circling the wagons.

Refugees and asylum-seekers provide a substantial net benefit to the United States, they claim, generating more wealth than they take from the government.
 
But that talking point is based on a federal study that was rejected in 2017 by the first Trump administration as methodologically unsound and preposterous in its conclusions. The study was resurrected and expanded by the Biden administration in 2024.

Today, 73% of Somali households have at least one member enrolled in Medicaid, and 89% of Somali families with children participate in at least one welfare program.
