ICE told to get the eff out

The 98 people (so far) who have been charged over this type of fraud will be delighted.
$9 billion
It’s how modern Amerrica was founded. Trumpf’s grant for example.
There is historic fraud of about $250 million in Minnesotoa over the past few years.
There was one scheme involving a lot of Somalis. That is true
So far they have uncovered new fraud in the tens of millions.
Trying to blame $9bn on Somalis is utter nonsense and typical racist Trump tactics. The investigators have said that the Somali angle is something they are only 'vaguely' looking at. Fraud on government schemes across the USA is about $250bn a year. Nothing about Minnesota is that unusual.

And still nobody can explain haw someone with no residency or right to work can pay income taxes, buy healthcare, insurance. Etc etc.
You have been told many times. You are just unwilling to listen.
How do you define a 'useful' member of society. If somebody works hard, doesn't commit any crimes, looks after their family, supports their friends and the community, then I would class them as useful. Most illegal workers actually do pay taxes, whilst being ineligible for benefits. It is a very different system to here. The USA is a massive country. For decades, it has been accepted with a nod and a wink and it has hugely benefited both sides.
Read and weep...
- Undocumented immigrants fill essential labor needs in key industries, often taking jobs with high labor demands and in sectors experiencing shortages. In Florida, they account for large shares of workers in agriculture (60%), construction (23%), and building/maintenance (18%), while in Texas, they are concentrated in agriculture (54%), construction (28%), and landscaping services (51%).
- Tax Contributions: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars annually in federal, state, and local taxes, including sales, excise, property, and income taxes. In 2022, they paid an estimated $4.9 billion in state and local taxes in Texas and $1.8 billion in Florida.
- Economic Growth and Spending Power: These individuals drive economic activity as consumers, with undocumented immigrant households nationwide having nearly $300 billion in spending power in 2023. Studies have found that the overall economic benefits of undocumented immigrants in Texas outweigh the costs to the state.
This the part where MBK reverts to irrelevance and blurbs on about how you'd feel if low paid jobs that no UK worker wants was filled by an immigrant.
