副总统JD·万斯和特朗普内阁官员周五推出了总统的”消除欺诈特别工作组”。
白宫高级助手斯蒂芬·米勒周五与副总统JD·万斯共同启动白宫反欺诈特别工作组,承诺将”摧毁”这种不公平地加重纳税人负担并让不良行为者占便宜的腐败现象。
本月早些时候,总统唐纳德·特朗普通过行政命令启动了该工作组,称政府将”动用所有可用资源和权力打击欺诈行为、堵塞漏洞、执行资格规则、保护符合条件的美国人的福利,同时确保管理联邦福利项目的各州也采取同样措施。”
万斯担任该工作组主席并在周五的白宫活动中宣布启动,联邦贸易委员会委员安德鲁·弗格森担任副主席。
米勒表示,该小组成立的时机再好不过了,明尼苏达州及其他地区的医疗补助和其他欺诈团伙已成为全国头条新闻。

“我认为美国人需要了解这种欺诈行为的普遍性和广泛程度,[而且]我们所有的系统都是为高信任社会建立和设立的。我认为大多数公民可能认为领取大多数联邦福利时会有某种核查程序。但现实是,并没有这样的程序,”米勒说。
这位直言不讳的助手补充说,几十年来实施的高信任框架对于民主党执政的州来说严重不足,这些州的核查程序”故意”缺失,往往建立在信誉体系上。
“想象一个社区,比如双子城的工人阶级社区,假设有一位土生土长的明尼苏达人,他是一名电工或建筑工人;从事任何需要辛勤工作、奉献和专注的工作;担心自己养家糊口的能力,”米勒说。
“然后想象他的邻居是一个两年前抵达的索马里难民,开着一辆梅赛德斯奔驰,没有经济压力,在这个世界上似乎永远不用担心工作,因为他只是在州政府的一个办公室里,在一张纸上撒谎,就永远获得了无限的免费资金。”
“这种情况在全国无数次重复发生,”他说,”而这正是特别工作组旨在解决的问题。”

“这就是副总统领导下的特别工作组将要摧毁的腐败。”
万斯在早些时候的评论中表示赞同米勒的观点,称索马里出生的欺诈者以”工业规模”运作,窃取美国人的税款。
“我们认为欺诈问题长期存在,”他说,”我们将采取多项措施。首先,我们将恢复那些反欺诈保护措施,确保所有内阁官员关注正在发生的问题并重点处理。”
他表示,特别工作组的关键将是内阁办公室之间的沟通,例如农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯可以与住房和城市发展部部长斯科特·特纳等同事就共同关切的问题进行沟通。

“这不仅仅是偷窃美国人民的钱财。这也是偷窃美国人赖以生存的关键服务,”万斯说。
“你们中的一些人可能以前听过我讲述这个故事,但我认为我们在明尼苏达州索马里人社区看到的自闭症骗局很好地说明了整个政府体系中正在发生的事情。”

Miller pledges new Vance fraud task force will ‘demolish’ social services corruption
JD Vance chairs the new anti-fraud panel, which Trump launched via executive order to crack down on benefit eligibility abuse

Vice President JD Vance and Trump Cabinet officials debuted the president’s “Task Force to Eliminate Fraud” on Friday.
Top White House aide Stephen Miller joined Vice President JD Vance to launch the White House anti-fraud task force Friday, pledging to “demolish” the kind of corruption that unfairly burdens taxpayers and gives a free ride to bad actors.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump launched the task force via executive order, saying the administration will “use all available resources and authorities to fight fraud, close loopholes, enforce eligibility rules, and protect benefits for eligible Americans, while ensuring States administering Federal benefits programs do the same.”
Vance serves as its chairman and kicked off the White House event Friday, while FTC Commissioner Andrew Ferguson serves as vice chair.
Miller said the panel could not come at a better time, with Medicaid and other fraud rings making national headlines in Minnesota and beyond.

“I think what’s important for Americans to understand about how pervasive and widespread the fraud is, [and] that all of our systems were set up and established for a high-trust society. I think that most citizens probably assume that there’s some verification process that takes place for the receipt of most federal benefits. The reality is, is that there is not,” Miller said.
The outspoken aide added that the high-trust framework in place for decades is woefully inadequate for Democrat-run states, where verification processes are “willfully” lacking and often run on the honor system.
“Imagine in a community, a working-class community in the Twin Cities, say a native Minnesotan who works as a lineman or works as a construction worker; works in any job that requires hard work, dedication, focus; who’s worried about his ability to support for or provide his family,” Miller said.
“And then imagine that he has a neighbor who’s a Somali refugee who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes, and no financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world that never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper and got unlimited free money forever for life.”
“That situation repeats itself innumerable times across the country,” he said, “and is exactly what the task force aims to take on.”

“That is the corruption that this task force under the leadership of the vice president is going to demolish.”
Vance agreed with Miller in earlier comments, saying that Somali-born fraudsters have operated at “an industrial scale” to steal Americans’ tax dollars.
“We think fraud has been a problem for a long time,” he said. “We’re going to do a number of things. First of all, we’re going to turn back on those anti-fraud protections so that all of these cabinet officials are looking at what’s going on and focusing on it.”
He said the key to the task force will be communications between cabinet offices, so that, in his example, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins can communicate on shared concerns with a colleague like HUD Secretary Scott Turner.

“This is not just theft of the American people’s money. This is also theft of critical services that the American people rely on,” Vance said.
“Some of you have heard me tell the story before, but I think that the autism scam that we’ve seen in the Somalian parts of Minnesota really illustrates well what’s been going on across whole layers of our government.”
