The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Among his unhinged posts on Truth Social today, Trumpedo wrote:

Much of the Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia. “Congresswoman” Omar, an ungrateful loser who only complains and never contributes, is one of the many scammers. Did she really marry her brother? Lowlifes like this can only be a liability to our Country’s greatness. Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

First of all, about 60% of Somalis in Minnesota were born in the U.S., and therefore are U.S. citizens by birth. Second, of those born outside the U.S., about 87% are naturalized U.S. citizens — a high naturalization rate relative to many immigrant populations.

So between 85%–90% of Somalis in Minnesota are legally in the U.S. as citizens.

Roughly 5,800 Somali residents in Minnesota are not citizens but have legal visas, refugee status, have Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or have filed for asylum.

In short, less than 1-2% of the Somali community in Minnesota are undocumented.

So is Trumpedo a racist or a Nazi?

Or both?
