The Hearing Moment
At a House Committee on Oversight hearing, Rep. Brandon Gill pressed a Democrat witness about whether large scale Somali immigration makes Minnesota stronger or weaker, and then followed that sharp question with concrete statistics drawn from public data to test that claim.
The Numbers Gill Read
Gill cited figures presented at the hearing showing a high share of Somali-headed households using government programs: about 54 percent on food stamps, 73 percent on Medicaid, and roughly 81 percent receiving welfare overall, with about 78 percent still on welfare after ten years in the United States, contrasted with much lower rates for native Minnesota households.
Witness Response
The Democrat witness, Brendan Ballou, repeatedly said he did not know the exact percentages and argued the Somali community strengthens the state, while Gill kept returning to the data and the gap between the two positions in a calm but pointed exchange.
Why This Exchange Matters
This was not theater for theater’s sake. Lawmakers debated taxpayer cost, program integrity, and the practical outcomes of state social services policy while pointing to multi billion dollar fraud claims in Minnesota and asking whether current oversight is working.
Questions for Lawmakers
Gill used the hearing to push for clearer answers on program use, language acquisition, and long term economic integration, and to press state officials, all of which raises policy questions about oversight, accountability, and the best way to help new Americans become self sufficient.

Brandon Gill is a very sharp young man! I believe he has a bright future as a rising star political figure!
All IS being REVEALED! Fraud’s a Nationwide problem. 3rd world people bring their 3rd world crime with them. They Don’t care about our Rules of Law, Order, Justice. The Global Cabal must be eradicated from our Earth 🌎. N.C.S.W.I.C., W.W.G.1W.G.A., and P.A.N.I.C.
They are taught in formal classes in their homelands how to game the system. I have been an insurance fraud investigator for most of my career, and this is what I have seen in my experience with groups of people from different homelands. When the heat comes, they pick up and move to another region in my state and start all over again, heat comes, and again they move on. It’s a huge problem and in this state, fraud is not tolerated and prosecuted to the highest extent of the law. Does not appear to be the case in MN.
