Minnesota Governor Tim Walz challenged President Trump.
Walz’s late move had to be seen to be believed.
That’s because Tim Walz threatened Trump with one demand that will leave you red with rage.
Tim Walz looked the other way when Somali scammers in Minnesota stole $9 billions from taxpayers.
Walz then cheered on insurrectionists who instigated violent clashes with ICE agents deployed to Minneapolis to crack down on illegal immigration in the wake of the Somali fraud scandal.
ICE agents ended up arresting 4,000 criminal illegal aliens before President Trump wound down the operation.
But ICE agents leaving Minneapolis wasn’t enough for Walz.
Walz then held a press conference demanding that the Trump administration reimburse Minnesota for deporting illegal aliens, who Walz claimed were vital to the state’s economy.
“One of the first things we can do, and what we’re focusing on today, is: What can we start doing on the economic recovery, the damage that has been done to our economy, specifically to small business owners, and even more specifically, to immigrant small business owners … The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here,” Walz stated.
“Many Minnesota businesses – especially small businesses — are facing economic hardships that may prove insurmountable,” economic development manager Matt Varilek added.
“The massive negative economic impact that is resulting from the fact that a lot of [company] workers don’t feel comfortable showing up, a lot of customers don’t feel comfortable showing up, and so we’re seeing massive reductions in that foot traffic, massive reductions in revenue,” Vladek continued.
The audacity! Tim Walz demands that law-abiding Americans should compensate Minneapolis businesses for the loss of their deported employees.

Even in the wake of a fake news media smear campaign, polls show the majority of Americans support President Trump’s mass deportation.
Despite everything that happened in MN, three new polls found that the clear majority of Americans—52%, 56%, and 61%—still support deporting every illegal alien, not the “worst of the worst.” It’s not because they’re racists. They’re sick of being robbed of the American Dream. pic.twitter.com/gleEpIMEMa

That’s why Democrats are now trying to twist illegal immigration into an economic issue by claiming illegal immigrants benefit the economy.
Democrats produced a report claiming that deporting illegal aliens costs $40 million in deportation costs.
But that number pales in comparison to the billions of dollars it costs to jail illegal aliens, provide healthcare, and how much they suck up in welfare benefits.
