Kenya’s government announced Friday that it was being “forced by circumstances to reconsider the whole issue of hosting refugees,” which is a huge deal because the country hosts more than 600,000 of them.
Three quarters of the refugees in Kenya are from Somalia, many of whom fled a devastating famine between 2010 and 2012. Others have fled the violence that has plagued their home country.

Hopefully half of them will get to Germany and on their welfare before they get shipped over here.
Send them back where they came from, or have them humanely euthanized.
OMG, what about George?
We’re not God.
Cue the gut wrenching videos asking for contributions, etc etc for the children.
Send them HOME to THEIR home...NOT here...
Sounds like ... hmm ... Islam is the problem.
“Somali Americans are Americans of Somali ancestry. The first ethnic Somalis to arrive in the U.S. were sailors who came in the 1920s. They were followed by students pursuing higher studies in the 1960s and 1970s, and a few migrants thereafter. However, it was not until the 1990s when the civil war in Somalia broke out that the majority of Somalis arrived in the United States. The Somali community in the U.S. is now among the largest in the Somali diaspora.
Total population: 85,700 (total Somali ancestry); 76,205 (Somalia-born)

25th anniversary for one of the refugee camps? Is that correct?
Well the religion for the entire country is Islam (Sunni).
The Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down) was in 1993, so yeah, refugee camps from the Somali Civil War have been around for 25 years.
It’s just hard to believe. I knew it was true, it just never ceases to amaze me how long ago certain things occurred that seem like more recent history than they actually are.
Yes, they are - and I was NOT talking about them ... I was talking about refugees from Kenya. THOSE people need to go back to Somalia. When a person's an American citizen American IS their home.
Kenya has had a problems with Somaili “Shiftas” (bandits) in NE Kenya going back at least as far as the late 1970’s.
“You can’t just lump the children together with extremists.”
Watch me.

I didn’t think you meant any different. I was just supplying some data on Somalis in the US.
Interesting information... I thought you had misunderstood... my fault.
