Pramila Jayapal Says Deporting Somali Scammers Will Hurt US Economy

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington claimed during a Thursday appearance on MS NOW that deporting Somalis accused of scamming Minnesota’s welfare programs would harm the American economy.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is surging into the Minneapolis area to target illegal immigrants from Somalia after revelations into at least $1 billion in fraud, some of which reportedly went to the radical Islamic terrorist group Al-Shabaab. Jayapal claimed that President Donald Trump’s comments about the scammers were “extremely dangerous.”

“It’s all lies. The Somali-American community, I have one of the largest populations in my home state. In fact, I got my start working on immigrant issues, working with the Somali-American population,” Jayapal told “Ana Cabrera Reports” host Ana Cabrera. “And calling people garbage, calling them leeches, all the ways in which he’s dehumanizing immigrants, that is — that is the goal of this administration, is to dehumanize immigrants. But let me be clear, despite that, the majority of Americans across the country, regardless of political party, know that immigrants from all over the world, Somalia, India, wherever they’re from, Latin America, Africa, that immigrants have built this country and make this country what it is today and so Americans are not accepting this.”

  1. Deporting Somali scammers will hurt Somali economy. They’ll have to find another sucker country.
    But there are no countries as generous and full of thieves and the fatally naive as America.
