Critics of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was recently named Vice President Harris' running mate on the 2024 Democrat presidential ticket, are highlighting his liberal stance on immigration in spite of Somali gang issues that have plagued the Twin Cities over the last two decades.

Somali gangs began growing in Minneapolis in the late 1990s and early 2000s as refugees escaped a civil war in their home country.

"Minnesota has always been a welcoming place for new immigrants, and we have no problem with that, but back in 2008 [through] 2012 to the beginning of Walz's administration, the refugee population continued to grow and grow and grow," retired Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, a 38-year law enforcement professional and Minneapolis native, told Fox News Digital. "And it went unchecked."

Stanek, who retired in 2019, testified about Somali gangs before Congress in 2012, saying they are unique compared to "traditional" American gangs because they don't deal in narcotics as much as other organized criminal groups.

"The most successful gang prosecutions require a narcotics nexus. Somali gang criminal activities are not based on a certain geographical area or turf," he said at the time. "The gang members will often congregate in certain areas but commit their criminal acts elsewhere. The criminal acts are often done in a wide geographic area that stretches outside the Twin Cities seven-county metro area, and their mobility has made them difficult to track."

Typical crimes committed by Somali gangs, Stanek said at the time, include credit card fraud, including "credit card skimming," witness tampering and intimidation, store burglaries and what Stanek described as "a terrorism nexus to gang activity."

About 5 percent of Minneapolis is Somalian, but already 1 in 3 city residents living in public housing are Somali. One third!

Now, the first Somali immigrant to chair the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $7.5 million in taxpayer money, as a leading figure in the massive Feeding Our Future fraud. Dozens of people, overwhelmingly from the Somali community, stole more than $50 million while Tim Walz's government did nothing to stop them — after all, that would have been racist.

This is lunacy. America is one of the most desirable nations in human history. Instead of admitting useful people who would make the country better, we have admitted millions who are immediately going on the dole, either overtly or by stealing from the public.

Democrats enable this, because they don't see America as a real country. They see it as a pile of money for their clients to loot.

The sooner American blacks and white leftists can get past color and see it is culture that is the problem, the better. Until then, they, too will get played by this 'racism' BS.
