A decade of Somali migration to the United States was plagued with mass fraud, the federal government and a retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official previously revealed.
BREITBART -- The P-3 refugee pipeline, created by the Refugee Act of 1980, allows refugees to apply for their spouses, unmarried children, and parents to also receive refugee status in the U.S. From 2003 through 2008, Africans, including Somalis, represented more than 95 percent of the refugees who arrived in the U.S. through the P-3 program.
In March 2008, after some 36,000 mostly Africans had entered the U.S. as P-3 refugees — the majority of whom resettled in Minnesota — the program was halted by then-President George W. Bush after the State Department unveiled mass fraud.
The State Department published a report in November 2008 detailing how the agency had started requiring P-3 refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Liberia to take DNA tests to prove they were blood relatives to the U.S.-bound refugees sponsoring them for such status.
