MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Minnesota is home to the nation’s largest Somali community — a rapidly expanding Muslim population that has become a flashpoint in national debates over integration, welfare fraud and how the group is reshaping the state’s historically Scandinavian, Christian cultural landscape.

That scrutiny intensified this week after President Donald Trump blasted Somali Minnesotans as welfare abusers who have been raiding state coffers for years.

"I hear they ripped off — Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions every year. … They contribute nothing," Trump said, amid news that some Somalis were involved in bilking that state out of hundreds of millions of dollars in various fraud schemes.

"I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you. Somebody says, ‘Oh, that's not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country. Their country’s no good for a reason. Their country stinks and we don’t want them in our country."

Trump and members of his administration have also accused the population of committing immigration fraud in order to bring friends and relatives to the U.S. and again claimed Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother — a charge she has repeatedly denied.

For years, accusations of crime and gang activity — and the fact that a small cohort of Somali Minnesotans traveled overseas to join al-Shabaab — have cast a long shadow over the community’s efforts to assimilate.

They don't even have a word in their language that translates to assimilate much less try to assimilate.

Nobody comes to America to assimilate anymore. It’s not like before when, yes immigrants banded together with others from their origin countries, but they came to be Americans and did their best for them and their children to learn and live as Americans. For years now immigrants and ‘migrants’ come to America to take and flip us the bird demanding that America bows to their thid world shithole culture.

Ilhan Omar needs to be FULLY investigated again and this 'Little Mogadishu' needs to be FULLY investigated.  Are they here legally for one and are they adhering to local laws and zoning laws?  Putting up mosques?  Permitting? 

This is unsettling to say the least, and I am glad to see arrests are starting to happen.
