Not Just Syrians: 1000s of Somali Refugees Enter U.S., Despite Having Same Terror Vetting Problem
PJ Media ^ | 11-19-2015 | Michael van der Galien

Many people believe that it's time to start refusing refugees from Syria and Iraq, as we are incapable of determining if terrorists are hiding among them. But another group of immigrants poses a serious security threat that is going ignored: Somalis.

Somalia has been partially overrun by Al-Shabaab, an organization that shares ISIS's radical views, goals, and strategies. It frequently publishes videos and photos of executions of "unbelievers" or people suspected of working for the Somali authorities.

According to Refugee Settlement Watch, a total of 100,000 Somali refugees have come to the United States in recent years -- 8,858 of them in 2015 alone. Since October 1 of this year, 827 refugees have been added to that amount. The Somalis are generally resettled in Minnesota, Arizona, New York, Ohio, and Texas.

There appears to be as much risk of importing Muslim fanatics pretending to be refugees from Somalia as from Syria. Worse yet, the risk may be greater: In April, Breitbart reported that six Somali "refugees" were arrested because they wanted to join ISIS. That wasn't the first time Somali-Americans tried to do so:

Authorities say a handful of Minnesota residents have traveled to Syria to fight with militants within the last year...

In October of this year, even NPR had to admit that many "marginalized, young Somalis look East to join ISIS." A Somali-American councilman in the Twin Cities explained:

"I don't know any of the young men, but I do know some of their family members. You know, it's a shock to the community. And we've had this issue of recruitment back in 2006 when young Somali men left Minnesota for the first time and joined the Al-Shabaab movement..."

Walk through any big airport in the US.
Mpls, Denver, Atlanta, Phily, Dallas.

You can’t buy so much as a stick of gum from anyone but a Somali.

“The Somalis are generally resettled in Minnesota, Arizona, New York, Ohio, and Texas.”

I can’t speak for the other states - but as for Minnesota, we are definitely over-run with them.

The reside primarily in the West Bank area of Minneapolis and also out in the upscale southwest suburb of Eden Prairie.

There is a growing crime issue with Somali youths - although the Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) is loathe to report it. A fair number of Somali youth have been recruited to go back to Somalia and fight for Al-Shahab. When the police try to investigate crime involving Somalis, they are met with a wall of silence.

Unless the politicians are harmed by either the terrorists or a mob of angry relatives of the sure to come victims of the terrorists, none of this will change.

Somali's have been imported into America for decades. Whomever really runs our country wants us as a Third World sewer. It seems to be leftists doing the dirt they (Somali's) have been placed in a number of strategic places; i.e. Cincinnati Ohio thus turning that state towards blue; Detroit and Flint turning Michigan blue. They want 60,000 Syrians in Pocatello, Idaho thus turning that state blue.

They’re HEEEERE....

Pork in all its forms should become the national staple when it comes to protein sources.

Slip it into every prepared meal. Muslims won’t know when it is in the next bite they take of fast food or in a restaurant.

Muslims would feel they were poisoned with every mouthful.

I have another question. Why is it that war refugees have to be moved to some other country? Particularly ours? Why aren’t the settled in refugee camps in their own country? We never thought it necessary to move whole populations to some other country before? Why abandon the country? These people have their own place and need to stay there.

This isn’t dealing with refugees. It is resettlement of whole populations. No country is big enough to resettle this many people and we don’t have the money to support them.

Somalis have been imported since 1990.

Yes, and they hated us back THEN, even as we were going in and distributing humanitarian supplies and food. They didn’t want it and attacked our soldiers/vehicles as they came through with that food! They didn’t want the food, they didn’t want us...and I know this because a family member was one of those soldiers.

Remember Black Hawk down? He was there for that, too.

I agree with others that they should be kept in their own countries with protective camps etc, and not shuffled all over the world.

Shuffling them all about is one way to get their ‘’soldiers’’ into all the countries at the receiving country’s expense. Much like how Trump plans to make Mexico pay for the wall to secure our own borders.
