Funding to start the downtown St. Paul Afro Deli and Grill came from the Small Business Administration (SBA).

I'd like to open a couple of restaurants, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't get all this funding.

Maybe he gets to sit in the "empty chair".

Do you suppose that he, just because he is a Somali, will be allowed to carry a couple AK-47s, some fragmentation grenades, a few IEDs, and other assorted weapons that none of us can have?

He can invite those that went to Somali to fight with the terrorists. There are lots of those.

With all the Somalis in the US there should be plenty of room in Somalia for Syrian/Balkan migrants to relocate.

I used to get to Minneapolis quite a bit, but that was before all those muzzies got there. They were brought in, just to vote democratic. I believe that was the reason.
