Recipient of Soros Money Flees to Africa As Wife Arrested For Welfare Scam

The fund was created to help immigrants, but these immigrants helped themselves.

Well this is inconvenient. 

In 1988, Paul and Daisy Soros created a Fellowships for New Americans which gives immigrants $90,000 for two years of graduate education. Paul said they did this in order to honor “the contributions of immigrants and children of immigrants to the United States,” and to help fund graduate study for immigrants “who are poised to make significant contributions to US society, culture or their academic field.”  

If the name "Soros" rings a bell, Paul is the younger brother to Democratic mega-donor George Soros.

But a recent recipient of the coveted award, Fidelis Agbapuruonwu, didn't live up to the part about making significant contributions to our country. Instead he and his wife, both Nigerians, apparently took this liberal money and then some. The Daily Caller reports that Mrs. Helen Agbapuruonwu was "charged with felony welfare fraud after she allegedly 'fraudulently obtained public assistance in excess of $100,000 under false pretenses' for about six years between 2010 and 2016." Fidelis has “fled the country and is somewhere in Africa."

It's also worth noting that Fidelis had a very high paying job at a prestigious international law firm. "While there," the Daily Caller reports, "he earned $1.5 million a year — a high salary for an associate-level attorney." I'd say so.  

So, immigrants to America who were inundated with liberal money and abused the welfare system still couldn't overcome their moral failings to create new lives for themselves?  

Stop me if you've heard this before.
