Wonder how many Somalis live in St. Cloud ?
Too Many
It's huge. I just heard on TV it's 15% the population.
I went through NOEL Missouri yesterday. Somalis everywhere still dressed like they were in the desert.
“Wonder how many Somalis live in St. Cloud ?”
Too many. But now there’s one less.
The Somali population in St Cloud is not known for certain, but is believed to be about 4,000 to 5,000.
The city has a population of about 65,000. The immediate surrounding towns are Waite Park, Sartell, Sauk Rapids. So al together the population is about 100,000.
Crossroads mall is a magnet for shoppers from East central, west central, and northern Minnesota up to about Brainerd. But all the Somali immigrants are in St. Cloud.
The city has been extremely generous to them. They go to the food shelf run by Catholic Charities, and good luck to those persons who come into the FS after any Somali women. They literally raid the fresh produce section and is often bare after they are through. Some are friendly and smile.
Others are all business and one of the women became angry with me because I was forcing her to slow down. She was grabbing things so fast, I had to conclude it was on purpose so she could get more free stuff. Hoping I would not see her going above her limit.
Last spring Gov. Mark Dayton came to St. Cloud to hear citizens concerns about the continuing influx of Somalis into our city. Dayton told the people that if they did not like it they cold move elsewhere.
So, you see what we are contending with. It’s like that all over the country. St. Cluod is a conservative part of the state. Bringing in all these Somalis is designed to move the electorate into the Democrat column, I believe.
