Batya Ungar-Sargon delivered a forceful denunciation of Democratic leaders, the media, and immigrant fraud during a recent statement reacting to what she described as a major Somali fraud scheme involving taxpayer-funded fake businesses.

Ungar-Sargon said the alleged misuse of public funds represents a betrayal of American taxpayers and working-class families, and she argued that the anger surrounding the case reflects years of ignored warnings and suppressed dissent.

Ungar-Sargon said the allegations involve billions of taxpayer dollars being directed to businesses that were never properly verified, placing responsibility on Democratic officials for failing to conduct basic oversight.

She also criticized media outlets for declining to cover the issue and accused immigrant recipients of abusing American generosity.

“So I’m just going to be real with you, forgive me, but I just find this story so utterly infuriating,” Ungar-Sargon said.

“Think of all of the different ways that the American taxpayer was betrayed here by the Democrats who funneled billions of dollars to fake businesses and never once checked up to make sure they were legitimate, by the media that refused to cover it by the immigrants themselves, who were gifted by the generosity of the American people with the greatest privilege on Earth, American citizenship, and then turned around and stole from us as thanks.”

Ungar-Sargon described the alleged fraud as part of a broader pattern she says Democrats have carried out for decades.

According to her statement, she believes the Somali fraud case is not an isolated incident but a smaller example of a wider system that has harmed working-class Americans.

“It’s so disgusting, but I think this is also a microcosm of a much bigger scam that the Democrats have been running for decades now,” she said.

Ungar-Sargon argued that Democratic immigration policies have contributed to lower wages and higher living costs, particularly affecting Americans who rely on affordable housing, healthcare, and education.

“To where they welcomed in millions and millions of immigrants, both legal and illegal, who drove down the wages in America, especially for working class Americans, and drove up the cost of things like housing and health care and education, the hallmarks of The American Dream, making that totally out of reach for working class Americans,” she said.

Ungar-Sargon also criticized what she described as a pattern of silencing Americans who objected to these policies.

She said working-class Americans who raised concerns were attacked and dismissed by political and media elites rather than engaged on the substance of their arguments.

“And then if those working class Americans had the temerity to object to their own disinheritance, rich Democrats would go on cable news and call them racists,” she said.

She further claimed that the language used by progressive activists and media figures was developed to divert attention from the economic harm she says immigration policies caused to American workers.

Ungar-Sargon said that this rhetorical framework served to shield Democratic leaders from accountability while discouraging public debate.

“It’s so disgusting,” Ungar-Sargon said.

“The whole woke vocabulary was developed as a smoke screen for the mass fleecing of the American working class.”

Ungar-Sargon linked this argument directly back to the outrage she said Americans are expressing over the Somali fraud allegations.

According to her statement, she believes public anger has been building for years as Americans noticed patterns of exploitation but were dismissed or ignored when they spoke out.

“And I think that is just a mirror image for what we’re seeing with this Somali fraud, and why people are so enraged about it, because they’ve been noticing this for so long, and they were silenced if they called it out,” she said.

“And no more. I think that’s what we’re seeing right now in this moment.”
