Alright, Minnesota, we'll give you a small break for the time being in order to shame the Republican-run Ohio.
Daily Wire's Luke Rosiak has been investigating welfare fraud committed by Somalis in Ohio and the BILLIONS we're spending to fund these new arrival millionaires is astounding.

Let's dive into the details from reporter Luke Rosiak.
I set my sights on Ohio, which like Minnesota has been granted waivers to expand Medicaid well beyond its original purpose. Under the guise of health care, Ohio pays people to go to Medicaid beneficiaries' homes to perform "homemaking" and 'chores' like cooking and cleaning. The people performing these 'personal services' tasks don't even have to be health care workers — and in many cases, are actually relatives of the Medicaid recipient.
According to a Daily Wire data analysis, Ohio spent a billion dollars on home health care in 2024, the last year for which data is available.
Since the services are performed inside private residences, there is no way to know whether the workers went at all, or what they're actually doing in exchange for taxpayer funds. An infinite number of small black boxes inside a black box. Multiple signs said the service provided, and billed to the government, was sometimes just 'companionship & conversation.'
Medicaid dollars, billions of them, are being spent on home health services which, in the appropriate scenario, just means paying for people to perform maid services and other home nursing services.
But, as Rosiak points out, there's absolutely zero method for accountability. People sign up, get the check, and that's it.
As people have realized the United States government will pay them to hang out with their own families, northeast Columbus has seen its economy replaced by businesses that bill Medicaid. And Columbus, a city with the second largest Somali population in the country, has become, on the surface, the most unhealthy city on the planet.
"Well if the government is going to pay you to do it," one home health operator told me. 'People see it as lucrative, so they just jump on it.'
The new welfare queens aren't the recipients whose low incomes qualify them for poverty programs. They're the companies getting rich off them.
The welfare queens are evolving.
And people don't think we have a fraud problem in this country?

According to the DW investigation, nearly every single person involved in the scam is a foreigner, a large number named some variation of Mohammed.

People from other nations, particularly Somalia, are flocking to the United States and pirating from all of us in broad daylight.
Here's Rosiak on the scam:
The business model is simple: a 40-year old Somali immigrant gets paid for spending time with, and maybe cooking for, his own 65-year-old mother. The middle-man is one of thousands of 'home health' firms that have the 'NPI' number necessary to bill Medicaid.
The 40-year-old becomes an 'employee' of that company, but has no clients other than his mother. There is no way to verify whether he actually even provided the 'services' — unless his own mother is willing to testify against him.
This poverty program is different from things like food stamps, because it has no monetary cap and its extent is decided not by politicians, but by any doctor willing to sign a form saying you could use some help around the house. It only takes one doctor who will say yes to churn out enough forms to bankrupt a state.
We need to stop all of these home health medicaid payments until we figure out what the heck is going on.
This is insanity ... and we are all paying for it!!

How is this different from all of the fake daycares in Little Mogadishu in Minnesota?
