Your tax dollars:
These food stamp scams by Muslim immigrants always get my attention. I first learned about them because we had one where we live, and that Mohamed (Mohammad) recently was sent to the big house. These Michigan Mohameds will soon be joining him. From the Ann Arbor News.
Four men who owned and operated an Ypsilanti Township convenience store are accused of fraudulently obtaining more than $432,800 by redeeming food stamp and WIC benefits for cash, phone cards, carpets, knives, and other non-food and ineligible items, authorities said today.
The men, all relatives who ran the Abbas Phone Card and Grocery store, were arraigned today on charges of committing food stamp and WIC fraud.
Named in the indictment are:
• Aidarus Abbas Mohamed, 54, a store owner and the applicant for federal food stamp and WIC benefits.
• Mohamed Mohamed-Abas Sheikh, 46, the owner’s brother and manager of the store.
• Ahmed Mohamed Abas, 23, Sheikh’s son and a store employee.
• Abdurahman Mohamed Abas, 20, also Sheikh’s son and a store employee.
American taxpayers funding jihadist activity abroad?
Now this part is stunning and it’s the first of these stories where we have confirmation of the practice we all thought was happening—the money (the taxpayers’ money) is being sent out of the country!
The indictment charges the men sent some of the money they fraudulently obtained to unknown recipients in the Horn of Africa, Europe, the Persian Gulf and West Africa, through their operation of an unlicensed money remitting business.
You know this isn’t a coincidence—all these Muslim immigrants just happening to be in the convenience store business. There are probably worldwide workshops, training sessions, on how to get into the US and open stores with access to the federal food stamp program.
Hint to readers, if you have any suspicion of such activity in your neighborhood, go to your local police and suggest they investigate. It takes time, maybe as long as two years, but eventually these ‘Mohameds’ get nailed.
