Who knows why they chose Minnesota and Maine?

I don't think the governement chose Maine. Most of those Somalis in Maine originally lived in Atlanta, and then they heard about the unusually generous welfare benefits in Lewiston and the rest is history.

It will leak out into every urban and suburban neighborhood eventually for a lot of reasons.

I am very familiar with a small town in Michigan between Toledo and Detroit. Ten years ago this was Anytown, USA. Nothing ever happened here. It wasn't particularly rich, just middle class and comfortable.

You can see the decline in the last decade. Section 8 housing seems to be the way it is spread into these areas.

It is seriously time to head for the hills.

Having been to Minneapolis, it is not a place I’d want to be on the dole (especially if I was from Africa).

The UN doesn’t make the US do anything the US doesn’t want to do; accepting the Somalis was done for the same reason we leave the southern border unguarded. We simply don’t have enough people (at 300 million) to compete with 2 large Asian countries with over a billion each.

In a global economy we’re not the big fish anymore.

The old melting pot certainly isn't what it use to be. It's more like a sweltering pot or bubbling cesspool pot.

Somalis who were allowed into the US in some sort of cocked-up Catholic Charities/State Department/Democrat Governors deal, were largely from the bandit-ridden Kenyan border areas and were forced into refugee camps by what passes for a government in that remote and godforsaken country. These tribes live on camel, cattle, and goat rustling and drug smuggling over the Kenyan border. From these camps, they have been dispersed throughout Europe and the US.

Their US settlement areas were chosen for easy availibility of welfare and government programs, and where it was reckoned they would receive the greatest benefit amounts.

They are very primitive Muslims. They are polygamous, practice female circumcision, and tend to be extremely contentious. Their male children routinely refuse direction from female teachers in schools. Their family units feature 4 wives at a time and many have 10-20 children. It is safe to say that the "Maine experiment" has been an unmitigated and very costly disaster for the state.

In Maine, they were settled in huge numbers the Lewiston-Auburn area, which already was economically depressed, given multiple Section 8 housing units (polygamy) large grants, and are the disproportionate beneficiaries of many state, federal, local, and church programs.

In Columbus, Ohio, another settlement site, many of these tribally scarred militant Muslims actually work at the Airport! Their Imams have actually been recorded delivering fire-breathing Jihadist sermons.

Quite a few young Somali men have been caught leaving the country to receive jihadist training in Africa and Afghanistan.

This group is a problem.

Police at the scene said they had to use chemical agent to get the crowd under control as they were being pelted with objects as they tried to break things up. … [One student] said the fights were over pride. ‘I know it’s a pride thing between Muslims and black people,’ she said. ‘They want their pride back for something. I don’t know.’ She also said ‘boys were hitting girls’ and that some people were lying on the floor, with their hands over their heads, in surrender.… The fight, students say, was the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans.”

8 of 20 no wait... eh... six of one half a dozen of the other? LOL with this PC geography fail. You know what was missing from this mess? A bucket full of Skittles should have been heaved into the melee.

Did anyone but me LOL at this?

I did until I remembered that Somalia is in South America so it makes perfect sense, right?

Lets face it... Somalis are about the most backward Muslims on this planet and we are dumb enough to import them. Their backwardness (never saw a flush toilet till they got here)and their Muzzie crapping around will cause tension with native blacks being Christian

An African dropping the N word on an African-American is an instant fight. I saw it in an office once. African see themselves as superior and American blacks as criminals. American blacks know it and don’t like it.

Considering who American black voters support, I guess melanin is thicker than water.

Somalia is a sparsely populated country with about the same density as Colorado. Only Colorado doesn't have over 2000 miles of coastline astride a major trade route, nor is it located in a semi and tropic region with a mild climate year round.

Turn Somalia over to the Jews or Chinese and it would be the most prosperous country in that part of Africa within two to three decades.

The problem with Somalia, like most third world countries, is the people and the system which they help perpetuate. I'm sure they would have preferred to locate in Florida if only had Florida provided the cornucopia of benefits and ELCA sponsors as Minnesota.

For the shiftless and indolent, lounging around on a sandy beach on the taxpayer's dime may be ideal. But if it isn't available, lounging around in a heated taxpayer furnished apartment with a big screen teevee in Minneapolis still beats the hell out of living on the edge of starvation in Mogadishu.

“This group is a problem.”

I don’t doubt that for a minute. I remember when the Haiti situation was dteriorating under BJ CLinton, and he wanted to force Florida to let them in (in a similar manner to Cubans. Florida’s governor at the time (I don’t know whether or not it was Jeb) threatened to bus them up to DC, and BJ relented. To put so many Haitians on the dole along with all of the others in Forida already on it would have destroyed the state.

So this was over “pride.” Maybe there’s a good reason the Bible says pride is a bad thing.

Of course it’s widely accepted. It seems every day I hear a someone speaking fondly of prostitutes, especially wives. The President even mentioned it in the SOTU.

In bizzaro world.
