The massive $1 billion (and growing) Minnesota welfare fraud by Somali refugees and the accompanying tired accusations of racism used to silence whistleblowers led me to think of my Greek immigrant family in Chicago.
We’re not welfare cheaters hiding behind accusations of racism. Family ties were critically important and our clans, but not at the expense of the love we bore America.
The City Journal broke the Minnesota fraud story wide open about the ties to terrorist groups, after Minnesota leftists like the fool Gov. Tim Walz suppressed reasonable inquiry.
Minnesota conservatives screamed for years begging the media pay some attention to the rampant fraud in Little Mogadishu, formerly known as Minneapolis. The City Journal piece is here for you to read.
My family wasn’t from the hellholes of East Africa, but of Greece.
Yet beautiful, civilized Greece had been a savage hellhole too, at least as savage as Somalia for a time, with communist death squads and child murder and raping. It was the mouth of hell.
