Someone should probably ask Rep. Ilhan Omar and her brother about this.
From the New York Post:
Nearly half of all immigrants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Twin Cities were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud during a recent sweep by immigration authorities, officials revealed Tuesday.
'Officers encountered blatant marriage fraud, visa overstay, people claiming to work as [sic] businesses that can't be found, forged documents, abuse of the H1B visa system, abuse of the F1 visa, and many other discrepancies,' US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) director Joseph B. Edlow told reporters Tuesday.

Officials didn't point to a specific group, but the Twin Cities has seen a massive uptick in Somali refugees and immigrants in recent years — with more than 82,000 from the East African country living in Minnesota.
A criminal case involving a large network of Covid relief fraud is also making its way through the federal courts. You will be unsurprised, dear reader, to learn that the suspects are all Somali.
The U.S. Department of Justice called this network "the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the nation."
The DOJ is still finding and arresting new suspects who stole American money to line their own pockets, and in many cases, send to Somalia - the failed state run by warlords on the East African coast.
In the case of immigration fraud, USCIS agents visited more than 1,000 homes in the Twin Cities area in September to check compliance.
'Our officers found indications of fraud, non-compliance or public safety and national security concerns,' Edlow said. 'What they found should shock all of America.'
The operation - dubbed Twin Shield, and carried out with the help of ICE - began on Sept. 13 and concluded this week, with Edlow calling it a 'success' that could soon be repeated in cities across the country.
How many of the tens of millions of "legal" immigrants in America are actually here illegally?
