  Here in Minnesota, a local realtor reached out to me to
• 0:02
  tell me about another way that Somalians are scamming
• 0:05
  Minnesotans out of their taxpayer dollars.
• 0:08
  In her community alone, Somalians have bought up over
• 0:10
  455 homes. They buy these homes claiming
• 0:14
  they're turning these homes into home healthcare centers.
• 0:17
  She says the way we know Somalians have bought these
• 0:19
  homes is because all of a sudden extremely nice cars start
• 0:23
  showing up. Mercedes, BMWs, the nicest cars
• 0:26
  are parked in the driveway. And she said by law, the state
• 0:30
  will not come out and inspect these homes and make sure these
• 0:33
  homes even have clients living in these homes.
• 0:36
  She also said as a realtor, she cannot disclose to people
• 0:40
  wanting to buy homes in this neighborhood that Somalians have
• 0:43
  bought that home and they're using that as a home healthcare
• 0:46
  center. She said these homes can even
• 0:49
  take people in who've just been released from jail and the
• 0:53
  neighborhood does not need to know about this.
• 0:55
  But she says many of these homes do not even have clients in
• 0:59
  them, but the state is writing them checks every month for the
• 1:03
  clients that the Somalians say are in these homes.
• 1:06
  And these Somalians are making millions of dollars off of these
• 1:10
  homes every year. The Somalians have figured out
• 1:13
  exactly the perfect plan as to how to scam Minnesota taxpayers
• 1:18
  out of their money. They are banking on this making
• 1:21
  millions of dollars. And the government here in
• 1:24
  Minnesota is too lazy to go and check it out and to see if
• 1:27
  there's even clients living in these homes.
• 1:30
  The fraud in Minnesota is so deep.
• 1:33
  Let me know your thoughts on this one.
