The cold tundra of Minnesota was a foreboding land to early settlers. French fur traders came to the bountiful lakes of the Northern Territory in search of hides and pelts. German and Norwegian farmers came for some of the richest farmland in the world. Flour mills in Minneapolis hired Irish and Polish workers and iron ore mines on the great Mesabi Range brought in Swedish and Eastern European immigrants. Today, many immigrants come from Mexico and Central America. They work in restaurants, at summer farms, and on roofing and construction sites. Programmers from India and Asia work in the many high-tech jobs the Twin Cities provide. Except for the proud Native American tribes, some of whom have become very wealthy from casino gambling revenues, all citizens of Minnesota are or were descendants of immigrants.
And, as you may have heard, Minnesota has the largest Somali population outside of Africa. Like many immigrants, no doubt, most came for new opportunity and jobs. Many also have come for some of the most generous welfare benefits in the nation. Aided by many charities, notably Lutheran Social Services, Catholic Charities, and American Refugee Committee, Somali immigrants have transformed the face of Minnesota, not only in major cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul but in many outstate mid-size cities such as St. Cloud and Wilmar.

“We are a nation of immigrants.”
Immigrants who INTEGRATED. They wanted to become Americans.
The current bunch just want to live like them and keep their old ways.
We are not multicultural, we are multiethnic with ONE culture.
How could they have been immigrants when there was nobody here? Did they ask the trees, the mountains, the animals if they could come?
Excellent point
Roger, penitently packing up now...
Hunh? Something wrong with the article?
All immigration needs to stop for 30 years. At least. If the USA is to survive.
Hmm interesting I don’t recall sending you a ping.
They’ll be rethinking this when the “skinnies” set up pirate operations on the Great Lakes.
Judeo-Christian, period.
Is this a private thread?
Ask Merkel and some of our own citizens how that works out....
Bullshite! As a Minnesotan, I can say the most they've done is displace other cab drivers and janitors. Other than expanding the welfare roles and making regular people feel uncomfortable at malls, there's not a whole lot they've done here except just linger in ever increasing abundance. THE STUPID IS STRONG HERE.
