I posted earlier about the growing number of scandals and frauds that permeate MN state government, this is related, but not included in that.
Omar Fateh, the front runner (at one point) for MPLS mayor is being investigated for funneling taxpayer money to his wife's nonprofit, which seems to have been pert of the DHS/HHS fraud scandal.
Fateh has already lost his DFL endorsement because the voting process was steeped in fraud, but for some reason he's still a viable candidate for mayor. One wonders why so many in the DFL would support someone so ethically challenged.
It's been argued that, since so much of the recent. massive fraud has originated within the Somali community is this isn't an example of importing Somali attitudes toward defrauding the government along with Somali immigrants. This doesn't seem like an outlandish conclusion, even excluding Ilhan Omar's connection to a Somali warlord who apparently committed "genocide", and her various other ethical lapses that have been reported. The wholehearted support of the Somali community for a man accused of kidnapping and raping a 12 year old girl, also adds to concerns.
Maybe this is a cautionary tale of blindly accepting immigrants who choose not to assimilate to US culture and norms.
