Rep. Brandon Gill said Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are moving beyond hearings and public messaging as they investigate large-scale fraud tied to open borders and mass migration, emphasizing that the goal is criminal referrals and prison sentences for those responsible.
Gill made the remarks while discussing what he described as growing recognition among Republicans of the scope of fraud uncovered through independent reporting and committee oversight.
He linked the issue directly to U.S. border policy and mass migration from unstable regions.
“Well, I think that Republicans are realizing the extent of the of the fraud and the problems with open borders and mass migration, and that includes bringing millions of people into the country from failed states like Somalia, where this type of fraud and corruption, that type of dealing with governments, is the norm whenever you bring in hundreds of 1000s or millions of people and from cultures like that,” Gill said.

“You ought to expect that same behavior to happen here in the United States. That's exactly what we saw.”
Gill said the Oversight Committee is now focused on accountability rather than optics, stressing that its work is intended to result in real legal consequences.
“But we're working on the Oversight Committee, and listen, the goal of what we're doing in Congress now in the Oversight Committee is, as James Comer mentioned, is to find criminal referrals,” he said.
“It is not for show. It's not just to show that we're doing something. It is for people to go to jail.”

The congressman referenced investigative reporting by Nick Shirley, crediting the independent journalist with uncovering what he described as widespread and systemic fraud.
Gill noted that Shirley’s findings were produced without the legal tools available to Congress.
“What we found, what Nick Shirley found in his investigation, and remember, this is somebody who is a independent citizen reporter, is fraud on an overwhelming scale,” Gill said.
“And he didn't have the power of subpoenas. He didn't have the power to haul people in for depositions.”

Gill said the Oversight Committee does have those authorities and intends to use them as the investigation continues. “We do, and we're going to do that,” he said.
“And I hope that we can find enough evidence so that people can go to jail for this.”

Does it make sense to send them to jail? Sending them to some third-world country where their survival skills will help the fit in is probably a better solution. How do you properly jail someone who does not speak English? They will just form gangs of fellow non-English speakers and try to run the prison.
Death penalty
They should be tried, stropped of their stolen assets and deported. Why spend money keeping them in jail?
SHOULD go to jail….there fixed it for you
Hate to say it, but Republican Congressional Whip, Emmer, has known about the Somali “problem” for 10 years. His financials must be investigated also.
Along with that white female MN judge, Sarah West, that overturned a UNANIMOUS jury guilty verdict against a MN Somali who defrauded the government of over $7 million!
