Speaking on Newsmax about how the fraud problem of the sort that has exploded on the American political scene thanks to the massive amount of it committed by Somali migrants in Minnesota can be fought back against and defeated, Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) explained that he is pushing legislation that would make the provision of welfare to legal or illegal immigrants illegal.
As background, the scale of the fraud committed by Somalis in Minnesota has proven nearly unbelievable to many Americans, as stories have emerged of migrants doing everything from pilfering hundreds of millions of dollars from fraudulent SBA loans to stealing from programs meant to aid parents of autistic teens and provide free meals to needy kids.
All told, the fraud could total more than $18 billion, and that’s just in Minnesota. As such, that has led to an explosion in calls for cutting off immigrants legal and illegal alike from welfare programs of any sorts, as Americans are naturally horrified both by the fraud and by the idea that we’re allowing public charges to flood into our country.
Rep. Fine, commenting on the problem when speaking to Newsmax, noted that his bill would address the welfare problem and cut off illegals, saying, “I think there’s a simple step that we can take right now. We can pass my bill, which would make legal immigrants ineligible for any form of welfare.”
Continuing, the congressman explained that many of those who are doing the robbing and fraud are not only not Americans, but are here legally, belying the typically pro-legal immigrant messaging that is typical. He said, “Many of these people who are robbing us aren’t even Americans. They’re people who are here as refugees or on temporary protective status or whatever.”
Adding to that, he explained that those migrants who are being caught stealing are not in America because they want to help the nation by building better lives, but because they want to steal from welfare programs. He said, “They didn’t come here for freedom and opportunity. They came here for free stuff, and we need to eliminate that.”
Further emphasizing that message, the congressman then explained that it is imperative that we fully cut off the migrants from welfare programs, saying, “If you want to be a guest in our country, you don’t get to steal the silverware. And so I think that we need to just cut all of them off. See if you want to come here for a job, we can have that discussion. If you want to come here for free stuff, stay at home.”

Concluding, he noted that we need deportations and targeting of the fake refugees, saying, “And then we need to just deport all of these people. We need to get every illegal out of the country. President Trump’s doing a great job on that, but now we need to be pushing out these fake refugees who’ve come in here and just want to mooch as much as they can. It’s time to clean the country out.”
