Kristi Noem says half of Minnesota visas are ‘fraudulent’, claims Tim Walz brought migrants illegally

WASHINGTON, DC: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed on Tuesday, December 2, that half of all visa holders in Minnesota submitted “fraudulent” applications during a cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump.

She also took a jab at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, saying, “You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud on visas and their programs. 50 percent of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko Governor Walz either is an idiot or he did it on purpose,and I think he’s both, sir.”

Kristi Noem added on Tuesday, “He brought people in there, illegally, that never should’ve been in this country, said they were somebody that they’re not, they said they were married to somebody who was their brother or somebody else.”

The DHS chief also said that those who submitted “fraudulent” visa applications “signed up for government programs, took hundreds of billions of dollars from the taxpayers, and we’re going to remove them and get our money back.”

Meanwhile, former Minneapolis Sheriff Rich Stanek, who previously confirmed high levels of fraud in the state, said many of the immigration issues have been aided by locals’ generally affable nature.

He said, “Minnesota has always been a very welcoming place. But when people say ‘Minnesota nice,’ they simply didn’t ask. Or they ignored it.”

Moreover, of at least 1,000 immigrant households that US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) visited during a two-week period, almost half were found to be engaged in some form of immigration fraud.

USCIS Director Joseph B Edlow told reporters that “officers encountered blatant marriage fraud, visa overstay, people claiming to work at businesses that can’t be found, forged documents, abuse of the H1B visa system, abuse of the F1 visa, and many other discrepancies.”

During Tuesday’s meeting, Donald Trump also criticized Somali immigrants, saying that “they contribute nothing.”

“These are people who do nothing but complain. They complain, and from where they came from, they got nothing. … When they come from hell, and they complain and do nothing but b****, we don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it,” the POTUS said. 

Kristi Noem urges full travel ban after DC shooting

Kristi Noem called for a travel ban on all countries that, according to her, are sending dangerous immigrants into the US. The proposal comes in the wake of a shooting in Washington, DC, involving an immigrant suspect.

Noem announced on Monday, December 1, that after a meeting with President Donald Trump, she is recommending a “full travel ban” on “every country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.” She also criticized specific groups of immigrants as posing risks to public safety, claiming they were using resources intended for Americans.

Emphasizing her point, she said, “Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom, not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.”

She concluded her remarks by saying, “WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”

Meanwhile, the director of Citizenship and Immigration Services stated last week that the agency had paused all asylum rulings “until we can ensure that every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible.”
