The ratio is actually 99.5% legal residents from Somalia but the investigation was of 1000 homes with 50% discovered to have fraud. So the ratio is bound to get worse....
Of at least 1,000 immigrant households that US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) visited during a two-week period [Operation Twin Shield in September], nearly half were engaged in some form of immigration fraud.
USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow told reporters after the operation concluded that “officers encountered blatant marriage fraud, visa overstay, people claiming to work at businesses that can’t be found, forged documents, abuse of the H1B visa system, abuse of the F1 visa, and many other discrepancies.” .....cases of marriage fraud found to be a particular problem.
Stanek — who called USCIS’ findings “extremely high” — thinks local left-wing officials have been openly ignoring those abuses for decades, possibly with the long-term goal of building a voter base that would support their agendas.
“You’ve had several governors in a row — Mark Dayton and Tim Walz — who have ignored it. You had local officials in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Hennepin, Ramsey County, that have have ignored it,” he said. “It’s all about votes.”

A COVID-era food relief program that sent money to nonprofits, particularly in the Minneapolis area, ended up funneling taxpayer funding to those organizations’ employees, many of whom were Somali.
They then spent lavishly on luxury cars and real estate holdings — while other funding streams purportedly flowed back to the Somali terrorist organization al-Shabaab.
As a result, the feds have prosecuted 78 scammers and convicted 59 linked to the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, named for the nonprofit that pocketed at least $250 million in taxpayer funding.

“Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation,” the account charged.
One homelessness program started as $2.6 million in 2021 saw its costs soar to $104 million last year, after being rife with fraud, the New York Times reported.
“Minnesota has become the land of 10,000 frauds under Tim Walz,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) told The Post about the scandal.
“This is a total slap in the face to the hardworking, law-abiding people of Minnesota. The Walz administration is either too incompetent or completely unwilling to clean up their own mess.”.....
a Kenyan immigrant who paid just $100 for a fake death certificate in his wife’s name so he could marry his way into the US. The trouble is, his wife was alive and well, and found with their five kids in Minneapolis.
“Incidentally, he has another wife living in Sweden with whom has an additional three children,” Edlow said.
Another migrant found living in the Twin Cities was the son of a “known or suspected terrorist on the no-fly list,” and had made numerous attempts to commit marriage fraud before being caught in the operation, according to officials. He is now in custody for deportation...........
A third person conned an elderly American woman into marriage – and while the bogus couple have since divorced, officials said she “lives in fear” of retaliation from the conman.
“95%” are “good people” who want “to raise their families” – a minority have caused an outsized negative impact with rampant crime and gang activity.
Credit card fraud and burglaries have been chief among those crimes – while in some extreme cases recruitment to overseas terror organizations like ISIS have been encountered.
