What in the hell is going on in the Tim Walz ruled state of MN?   We've had three major instances of massive fraud in government programs over the past 5 years.  What in the world is preventing the DFL controlled state government from preventing this fraud?   How much of the costs of this fraud will be borne by the tax payers on top of the ballooning budget?    As two of these frauds were committed primarily by Somali immigrants, one must wonder is there is something in Somali culture that accepts defrauding the government as acceptable, much like the Afghani and Pakistani cultures accept child rape and cousin marriage as normal?

It doe suggest a trend, and one would be justified in wondering of Waltz benefits from it. If he's doing anything about it, one would think publicizing his plans to bring the fraudsters to justice would be job one for a politician, especially one like him who is currently under heavy scrutiny and mocked for incompetence.

There is at least one official who's being investigated. I think it's more about trying to be nice to immigrants by giving them free reign.
