The article criticizes a federal study used by Democrats to justify open borders and increased refugee admissions, claiming that refugees provide a net benefit to the US economy. The study, resurrected by the Biden administration in 2024, concludes that refugees and asylees add $8.25 billion annually to federal coffers. However, the article argues that the study is flawed, omitting major government spending programs and misclassifying Social Security as welfare. The author contends that the study's conclusions are preposterous, given the high welfare usage among refugees, and that it is being used to justify increased refugee admissions and spending.

The article discusses a massive fraud scheme in Minnesota involving publicly funded day care outlets, largely run by Somalis, that are allegedly fronts for collecting government cash and laundering it. The author claims that the mainstream media has largely ignored the story, and that politicians, including Gov. Tim Walz and Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar, have tried to downplay or cover up the issue. The author suggests that social-services fraud is part of the fabric of blue-state governance and that the left-leaning media is complicit in covering it up.
