Ten Years In—And Still on the Dole!

ACCOUNTABILITY – ASSIMIMATION

81% of Somali households in Minnesota, after a decade-plus, hooked on aid! Need a minute to read that again and let it sink in? TEN YEARS ISN’T VACATION!

Somali-Headed Households in Minnesota (Overall)

• 81% use at least one form of welfare (cash, food stamps/SNAP, or Medicaid).
• 54% receive food stamps (SNAP).
• 73% have at least one member on Medicaid.
• 27% receive cash welfare (e.g., TANF, SSI, general assistance).

For comparison:

• Native-headed households in Minnesota: Only 21% use any welfare, with 7% on food stamps and 18% on Medicaid.

Somali Households with Children

• 89% receive some form of welfare (nearly every such household).

Long-Term Residency (10+ Years in the U.S.)

• Welfare use drops only marginally—still around 78% for Somali immigrant households after a decade or more (per congressional testimony citing the CIS data and related figures). The report notes rates are “only marginally lower” than the overall Somali population, with persistent high reliance.

These figures highlight the depth: It’s not just occasional use—it’s widespread across major programs, especially for families.

National Non-Citizen Households

Around 59% CIS’s 2022–2023 analyses (using Survey of Income and Program Participation data):

• 58.6%–59% of non-citizen-headed households (including legal green card holders and undocumented) use at least one major welfare program.
• This compares to about 39% for U.S.-born households.

The information above is my research from different AI platforms.

What should any reasonable citizen expect after they’ve been welcoming and have sacrificed themselves by working hard and sharing their resources? Are the welcomed immigrants pulling their weight?

To add insult to injury, the Americans who opened their country to these immigrants are painted as selfish! I’m not kidding. There are viral videos mocking those same Americans.

Apologies? Promises to pull their weight? Nah! Just blame shifting. Name calling like – Racist! Xenophobe! Privilege!

The elected officials elected to protect our interests? What about them? Well, they’re the ones with megaphones casting those accusations! Not a joke!

The failures – No Accountability! No Assimilation! No Allegiance!

The repair/fix – LIVE GRATEFUL – GRATITUDE – MEA CULPA
