YouTuber Nick Shirley has generated millions of views across multiple platforms doing reporting on the Somali immigrants defrauding state vouchers for daycare facilities that are either not up to code or clearly fronts for money laundering. Billions have been looted in fraud by these people, equivalent to the GDP of Somalia. The corruption implicates numerous daycares and even Governor Tim Walz. Fraud is quite common amongst Somali immigrants, who notoriously scam the system to receive money for their fake autistic children. Minnesota is a hotbed for this fraud, but not the only state where it persists.
The electoral victory for Trump came through the support for mass deportations, yet the religious institutions and their various NGO’s have long been profiteering off the flood of foreigners coming into America. In 2024, we reported on SEND Relief actively facilitating illegal immigration at the Southern Border and, last year how the SBC was a subcontractor for World Relief, an NGO dependent on government contracts.
Evidently, the Southern Baptist Convention has its hands in the daycare voucher programs. Dovely Daycare in Boston, MA, is one such daycare that caters primarily to so-called refugees. Their website makes explicit who exactly they serve. They were sponsored by SEND Relief and the New England Mission Foundation, which is a Southern Baptist aligned local partner. Dovely operates out of Arborway Community Church.
Dovely openly admits that it is funded primarily through government vouchers, so much so that they require at least half of their capacity to go towards these welfare users. They lament the inaccessibility of daycare services and the plight of the fake refugees who should neither be in America nor sustained by taxpayer dollars. The problem is that “refugee families” should not be receiving welfare vouchers from taxpaying Americans, and it is a bigger problem when Christian organizations monetize the welfare state.
Regarding their employment, the government has flooded many communities with these bogus refugees. Their refugee status comes from checking the right boxes on the paperwork, which they often receive assistance from other NGOs who tailor towards sponsoring mass immigration, like LIRS. As Dovely explicitly states, their inability to learn the language or retain employment demonstrates that they are incapable of being self-sufficient, thus reducing them to leeches off the system, which includes these welfare vouchers.
Dovely started out as a pet project of Karyn Beckler before opening a daycare, which according to SEND, was supposed to open in August of 2025. SEND relief even quotes Becker as stating that she is not a “kid whisperer” or kid person, as she is a girl boss, Harvard MBA who works in the healthcare industry. In the article, Beckler lamented that they are only allowed to receive two-thirds of the market rate for daycares, but when the daycare is operating out of a church, then much of the overhead costs are removed.
Against Daycare Vouchers
It should also be noted that these welfare vouchers should not exist and function as wealth redistribution programs from Americans who pay net taxes to foreigners who deplete the system. There should not be “daycare vouchers” as this fundamentally assumes that “daycare” is a right. Democrats then use this language to increase taxes for these excessive programs. Then the welfare programs become their own industry, with businesses that grow dependent on the continuation of the welfare state. The flood of immigrants into America then exacerbates the problems with these programs.
Under Massachusetts law, the current daily reimbursement rate in the Boston Metro area is $121 for an infant, $110 for a toddler, and $81 for preschool. Each of these assumes a daycare center at a minimum of five hours per day. The program’s costs are expected to exceed $1 billion for FY2026 in the State of Massachusetts, serving between 60,000 and 63,000 children, which translates to over $17,000 in subsidies per child. There is a backlog of demand for these vouchers, which means that the immigrants are competing with the natives for these same vouchers. This does not include the Commonwealth Cares for Children (C3) grants which are expected to be $475 million, which go directly to the daycare providers.
The use of vouchers creates a bifurcated daycare market, which, much like subsidized housing programs, those not under subsidies are paying higher fees because of the artificial split in the market price. Much like Dovely, entire daycares will spring forth to cater primarily to the subsidized market, even going so far as to limit their ability to serve unsubsidized customers. This same dynamic occurs in subsidized housing programs, only at a larger scale as slumlords get government subsidies for constructing low-income housing.
Considering how much money is involved, it is very easy to understand how these programs can become so easily wrought with fraud, which is amplified by an administration that actively favors certain minority groups and interests over the net taxpayers of the state.
Harm Thy Neighbor
The Southern Baptist Convention would likely say that caring for the immigrant is loving their neighbor, but in reality, it is hatred for one’s countrymen. Immigration is a net-harm to the native population. The economic “benefits” of immigration come at the expense of the native populations, and when the immigrants are subsisting off welfare programs or using public education, the largest local and state expense, they make the cost of living worse for Americans. They are helping groups who will inevitably compete with Americans for jobs, housing, college admission, and other resources. America for Americans means that Americans should not have to compete with foreigners for these resources vital, nor should they be dispossessed of their birthright.
Every dollar that the Southern Baptists, Lutherans, Catholics, and Presbyterians spend supporting immigration in the United States is a dollar spent harming Americans. One cannot rob Peter to pay Paul and call that loving one’s neighbor. SEND is misusing tithes and offerings, much of which given in good faith, by sponsoring a daycare program that leeches off voucher programs to serve foreigners. Even if they are not committing outright fraud, the Southern Baptist Convention should have no association with an organization whose existence is taxpayer subsidized to the detriment of the people of Massachusetts.

Excellent article! For the Christian who wants to help the poor, the benevolence ministry of your local church may be a good option, but there’s little likelihood that a BigEva relief ministry will be.
