Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar’s state is awash in billions of dollars in Somali fraud involving taxpayer money. The state is also a hotbed for illegal immigration. Omar says she’s exhausted and doesn’t want federal authorities to tackle both issues. Why? She says the fraud investigations and immigration raids are costing American taxpayers too much. Yes, she seriously said this.
Here you go. (WATCH)
Ilhan Omar is mad that investigating fraud in Minnesota and enforcing immigration federal law is “wasting so much of our taxpayer resources.”

She has no idea what she is actually saying, they really are this stupid

A Democrat genuinely caring about wasteful government spending is a rare creature indeed. Omar doesn’t care.
Posters note that none of her fellow Democrats on MS NOW are going to call her out.
No notes. Incredible.

Never a dissenting voice on MSNOW, no critical retort whatsoever.

They’re not going to criticize one of their own teammates.
Posters say the federal government is obligated to investigate the fraud going down in Minnesota.
Poor Ilhan is “so exhausted” that this administration would actually spend government resources to investigate the defrauding of government resources, and to do their Constitutional duty of enforcing laws.

I know I’m exhausted just listening to her nonsense.
Before this the MSNOW hosts were mad at Nick Shirley and other “youtubers” for doing journalism that they won’t do. It’s an insane asylum over there.

Stop spending taxpayer dollars on investigations of our total abuse and misuse of taxpayer dollars. What a freaking joke..
— Ava- I Love My USA! 🇺🇸 (@WEdwarda) January 12, 2026
Here I was thinking that the fraud was wasting my tax dollars. I’m so glad she clarified things for me.

Such a relief, Ilhan!
One poster says Omar is exhausting his dictionary.
I am running out of words to describe this vile creature.

“Why are you spending so many taxpayer dollars on investigating the billions in fraud of taxpayer dollars"
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) January 12, 2026
She prefers tax dollars to go to Mogadishu instead.
