Fraud to the tune of less than a million dollars per person is being pursued instead of the fraud in the hundreds of millions taking place in the seat of government. Yep, sure sounds like the Gilded age.
Oh. Interesting timing for this story @nytimes.com . Something something fraud Canadians bad something something $$.

There's a guy from South Africa partnering with a convicted felon to steal Social Security from grandparents in the U.S.
Two dozen…so like 24-30ish people. If this is supposed to be a “GOTCHA!” moment to sow anti-Canadian sentiments, it’s not gonna work! We see through your BS @nytimes.com!
Seriously? There was a time in this country where news was ethical, unbiased reporting of facts
It has all become nothing more than sensationalism now.
That's a paltry sum compared to the billions that President Muskrat has been awarded in government "contracts". I call that a pay to play ponzi scheme.
Super excuse to increase the tariffs to 50%. That being said in jest, I must say I have no tolerance for these scammers and would fully support a beekeeper approach to these slime balls.
Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Something to convince us the Canadians are horrible. So they are another problem. Kind of like what Trump did with Zelensky. A set up so that he could demonize Ukraine and pull back any support. Evil.
NYT - wait until you hear about this guy who scammed the US government out of BILLIONS of dollars. Where is he now?
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) was chief executive of Columbia/HCA during his tenure the company defrauded Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal programs. They were fined $1.7 billion!
You're serious right? Nothing about the innocent men, women, and children that have been disappeared byt this regime? What about the veterans? What about the elderly? What about schools? You suck.

I suspect the Canadian in the first group was responsible for the group of 25 from Quebec.
This is a despicable crime!
