My initial post said people were tired of seeing immigrants using and exploiting government welfare; not that the vast majority of them are exploiting.
My argument wasn’t against the implication about the “vast majority exploiting”, not even the article you posted suggested the vast majority of Somali immigrants were “exploiting”. I was arguing against the suggestion that the problem of “a large proportion of Somali immigrants in Minnesota live in/near poverty and remain so over 10 years resulting in a net draw on tax funding” is generalizable to immigrant populations across the country.
Why would you say people (presumably you mean in general) be tired of seeing it if you weren’t suggesting it was also a pervasive problem? If the situation of the Somali immigrants was statistically uncommon across the country, then the explanation of “people are tired of seeing it” would be a poor one.
