‘All of the systems in our country, whether it is voting, welfare, benefits, were set up based on the honor system. The idea that you could trust the average person. In many states we don't even check.

But we became a society — as we've seen with the Somali refugee problem in Minnesota — where you have a large number not playing by the rules, and the amount fleeced from us is in the hundreds of billions. We could balance the budget if the only dollars that went out went to individuals who are lawfully and correctly eligible to receive them. So you are now seeing the most robust and muscular effort to be rid of fraud in the history of any developed country.’
