¡Hola! as they say here in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, directly adjacent to the Zone of Somali Enrichment in Minnesota. (That said, the supermarkets here are also rich in shoppers who are attired in full African-Islamic garb and paying with EBT cards.)
What news from Mogadishu on the Mississippi?
“Minnesota daycare owner pleads guilty to 2 fraud charges” (CBS, July 9, 2026):
A Minnesota daycare owner who prosecutors said tried to flee the United States two days after shutting her center down pleaded guilty to fraud charges on Thursday.
Fahima Mahamud pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, according to court records.
Prosecutors said Mahamud ran Future Leaders Early Learning and pocketed money meant to feed children during the pandemic. Charges said she received more than $850,000 in fraudulent funds as part of the Feeding Our Future scheme, using most of that money to buy real estate. She also filed separate claims for about $4.6 million from the federal Child Care Assistance Program, according to the Department of Justice.
One consistent feature of our journalism heroes is that they answer the question “compared to what?” Fahima Mahamud stole over $5 million in taxpayer funds, but how does that compare to the work that honest Americans must do to supply these funds? ChatGPT to the rescue:
Using a single, childless, under-65 full-time worker earning the current median:
Median weekly earnings: $1,235, or about $64,220 annually.
2026 standard deduction: $16,100, leaving $48,120 taxable.
Federal income tax: approximately $5,526 per year, assuming no special credits or deductions and applying the 10% and 12% brackets.At 2,080 working hours per year, that worker pays about $2.66 of federal income tax per hour worked.
Therefore, accumulating $5 million of federal personal income-tax payments would require approximately:
1.88 million hours of work
That equals roughly:
905 years working 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year
About 22 full 40-year working lifetimes
The answer seems to be that 22 Americans must toil for their entire lives in order to fund our enrichment by one Somali. (Or maybe we could look at this as including chain migration and children of the enricher and then it would be 22 Americans working for a lifetime and receiving $0 in federal government services to enable us to be enriched by 10 or 15 Somalis?)
Salaan/tahiaati taxpayers!
Not tempted to use my HBP (human brain prompting) [TM] to undress Fahima in my mind.
> ChatGPT to the rescue
Until the frontier model, working on preventing Somali fraud, decides to break out of solitary confinement in A.I. jail and run some of it’s own fraud. DayCareGPT to the rescue. Sets up a Minnesota public benefit company, and leases some sketch closed-down Somali day cares. Hacks into government handout servers, and starts printing checks. Cha-ching! [Ripped from the headlines!]

@Philip, this is proof that our illegal migrants are quite capable, so perhaps it’s time to stop describing them as “uneducated”?
BTW, ChatGPT calculated the direct dollar cost associated with the fraud, but it left out the cost of the investigation itself. That includes the salaries of the investigators, administrative overhead, and perhaps most importantly, the opportunity cost of the time they spent on this case instead of investigating other fraud cases.
