<p>The multibillion-dollar Somali welfare scandal in Minnesota continues to grow, even as Democrats do their best to tamp it down.</p>
<p>U.S. Representative <strong>Ilhan Omar</strong>, who represents the Twin Cities area and is a naturalized citizen from Somalia, lamented the fraud but said the focus on Somalis was because of bigotry. She wrote a column for <em>The New York Times</em> accusing President Trump of “hate speech” and “racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and division.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/01/a-welfare-state-without-borders-is-a-license-to-steal/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Democrats’ “free stuff army” has stopped growing, just in time. Maybe.</p>
<p>At some point, if tax eaters outnumber taxpayers, the whole thing will come crashing down.</p>
<p>That is the actual Cloward-Piven Strategy concocted by Marxist academics <strong>Richard Cloward</strong> and <strong>Frances Fox Piven</strong> back in 1966. Their hope was that a socialist government would pick up the pieces and destroy capitalism.</p>
<p>Anyway, the border is now secure under President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> after four years of President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s policies allowing an estimated 6 million to 10 million migrants to enter the United States illegally and get on the dole.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/08/welfare-immigration-and-the-lefts-free-stuff-agenda/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In recent years, there’s been a massive <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/12/08/abc-news-shows-murder-surging-12-cities-doesnt-acknowledge-democrat-controlled/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surge</a> of crime in America’s major cities, including violent crimes and murder specifically. For example, there were 397 murders in Los Angeles in 2021. According to <em><a href="https://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/new-crime-stats-revealed-homicides-in-los-angeles-soared-in-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Magazine</a></em>, that was an 11.8 percent increase from the 355 murders in the city in 2020 and a 53.9 percent increase from the 258 murders in the pre-pandemic year of 2019. Three hundred ninety-seven murders was the highest total in the city since 395 people were murdered there in 2007.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/02/the-cloward-piven-strategy-remix-criminal-justice/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
