To me this smacks of a "tip of the iceberg" moment.

While I hope the scale of the fraud is limited ... it wouldn't surprise me if the story keeps on going for a while, perhaps right through the midterms. Just as we saw with Dem pols' mortgage fraud, it strikes me that this kind of fraud is extended via conversations about "hey, this worked for us. What's working for you?"

Maybe you missed a step there?

""‘Their’ family means literally their direct family, followed by their tribe, followed by other Somalis (shaʻb) followed by other Islamics (ummah or Dar al Islam), against the Dar al-harb - the rest of the world.""

One of those long ago lessons when studying the Levant, in particular the Arabian culture, in the run up to being deployed in 1991 - not that I went overseas that time.
