More right-wingnut bullshit.
CLAIM: “President Barack Obama resettled 70,000 Somali refugees in
Minnesota. No wonder Rep. Ilhan Omar was elected.”
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Minnesota received only 6,320 Somali refugees under
the Obama administration, according to data from the U.S. Department of
State’s Refugee Processing Center.
THE FACTS: The data shows a total of about 54,000 Somali refugees came to
the U.S. while Obama was president from Jan. 2009 to Jan. 2017. Of those,
only 6,320 settled in Minnesota. In contrast, the administration of
President George W. Bush placed roughly 9,800 Somali refugees in Minnesota,
the data shows.
