DAILY SIGNAL: Who Gets to Be an American? Trump Has an Answer
President Donald Trump made quite the stir in recent days after declaringhedoes notwant Somalis in the U.S.
Somalia“stinks and we don’t want them in our country,”according to thepresident, who added that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who isSomali, is “garbage.”
Trump’s comments come afternews broke that a fraud scheme among Minnesota’s Somali population cost taxpayers over$1 billion.Authorities are investigatingmultipleplots in which Somalis areallegedto have stolen taxpayer money by claiming social servicesbenefits.
“Nonprofits tied to the Somali community claimed to have fed tens of thousands of nonexistent hungry children, claimed to have provided services to non-existent homeless, and claimed to have provided therapy for nonexistent autistic Somali children,” according to theWhite House. “Kickbacks were paid, lavish lifestyles were funded, and money was sent overseas–some of it even allegedly funneled to a terror group.”
Additionally, Trump has paused all visas for Afghan nationals. This happened after a man from Afghanistan, who has been living in the U.S. since the fall of Kabul in 2021, shot two National Guard members near the White House the day before Thanksgiving, killing U.S. ArmySpc. Sarah Beckstrom.
AndafterTrumpvowed to pause immigration from “developing nationscountries,”the U.S. has frozen all immigration applications for foreigners from 19counties, andis reviewing applicationsthatwere approved during the four years of the Biden administration. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on Fox News Thursdaythatthe list will be expanded to “over 30”nations, butdid not specify.
For now, the listincludes:Afghanistan, Myanmar, Burundi, Chad, Cuba, Republic ofthe Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and Yemen.
