We wrote about an
two years ago, when she was about to be elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. What we have here is a story about a successful young woman who has put together what may be immigration-related marriage fraud by adroitly using a combination of:
- U.S. law to get (presumably) a green card for Elmi;
- The ongoing chaos in Somalia, which she says eliminated the possibility of obtaining birth certificates for herself or her alleged brother;
- Traditional marriages and divorces (i.e., unrecorded with the authorities) when they met her or her alleged brother's needs; and
- A huge dollop of luck.
The luck includes a substantial amount of governmental non-curiosity; the U.S. Attorney's Office in the last year of the Obama administration, according to the AP story, said it was not investigating the marriage-fraud charges; that might be attributed to political tilt.
And then, for almost two years of the Trump administration, there has been no (or no announced) investigation of the same charges, which either indicates that she is as clean as a whistle or that the new U.S. attorney is asleep at the switch.
Remember when the Bedwetters were so concerned about that the law said about illegally crossing the border was a misdemeanor ........ I guess they only care about the parts of law that suits them
