Stephen Miller went on Laura Ingraham’s show Friday night and did what very few people in Washington are willing to do. He said the quiet part out loud, and he backed it up with numbers that should make every taxpayer furious. According to the White House deputy chief of staff, the welfare fraud tied to Somali immigrants in Minnesota could end up being the largest financial fraud scandal in American history. Not hyperbole, not a slogan, an actual warning from someone who sees the federal books up close.
Laura Ingraham framed the moment perfectly. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had lashed out at President Trump earlier in the day, apparently offended that the president dared to highlight what is happening in his state. Ingraham summed up Walz’s position with sarcasm that barely needed embellishment. Somehow, it is President Trump’s fault that, by Miller’s words, Somalis stole a billion dollars and counting.
Miller did not flinch. He said Walz was right about one thing, the fraud is not new. According to Miller, the Somali community has been engaged in massive, endemic, systematic fraud against American taxpayers for years. What is different now is that the lid has finally been blown off. Miller said the federal investigation underway is all hands on deck, and that the scope and scale of the fraud is worse than anyone imagined.
Then came the statistic that should stop every conversation cold. Miller said official government records show that 90 percent of Somali households with children are on federal welfare. He added that the real number is probably closer to 100 percent, because federal records always undercount. In plain English, he described a population imported into Minnesota where virtually every household is receiving taxpayer funded benefits.
Miller explained how this happens, and it is not accidental. He called it the Refugee Industrial Complex. The federal government hands out billions of dollars to nongovernmental organizations that work with the State Department to identify the poorest populations from the most dysfunctional parts of the world. Those groups then place them in small American towns, especially in the Midwest, and fundamentally transform those communities.
🚨 STEPHEN MILLER NAILS IT: Somalis have been engaged in MASSIVE, systematic fraud against US taxpayers for YEARS. The scope of this fraud eclipses anybody's worst nightmare — and could end up being the greatest financial fraud scandal in US history. 💯 pic.twitter.com/ALhFAWlOMP

Minnesota, particularly Minneapolis and Saint Paul, became ground zero for this project. The nonprofits involved get rich. They rake in massive grants, become some of the wealthiest nonprofits on the planet, and their mission is simple. Fly people here, help them become citizens, and make sure they are signed up for every welfare program imaginable. The bill goes to the American taxpayer.
Miller called the system heinous and shameful, and he said President Trump deserves credit for shutting it down. Refugee resettlement has been stopped, with the lone exception of Afrikaners fleeing persecution in South Africa.
This is why Democrats are angry. Not because the fraud is not real, but because President Trump is exposing it. When the money stops flowing, the racket collapses. And if Miller is right, the fallout is only just beginning.
