Have you folks in Maine seen this!?!?!? From Neil Boortz's site today:

SOMALI INVASION HEADING FOR AUGUSTA, MAINE

Last week I told you about hundreds the thousand or so Somalis who have migrated from their homes in Atlanta, Georgia to the small community of Lewiston, Maine. Evidently one of their advance scouts discovered some rather generous housing and food welfare benefits in Lewiston – and the march was on. . Believe it or not, an Atlanta radio station which broadcasts a program aimed at Somalis, actually warned its listeners to pace their arrivals in Lewiston so that the social services system wouldn’t be overwhelmed. Sell, it didn’t work. The residents of Lewiston found their social services budget more than doubled. Tax increases are in the offing to take care of their new residents.

Well, relief may be on the way for the residents of Lewiston. The Somalis have dispatched another team of welfare scouts and have discovered Augusta! So, to the residents of Augusta, Maine. ---- get out your checkbooks. Thanks to your generous welfare program, you have company coming.www.boortz.com

Enjoy Mainers. You might want to protest this also!!!

i'm surprised the WINTERS don't deter these people. usually warm weather immigrants choose warm weather states and vice versa. . .

I was in the Portland airport a few months ago and there was this Somali mother with her baby waiting to board a plane to DC.........it seemed so out place being in Maine, she was there with some relatives, all dressed strangely (for Maine standards that is). Never figured it out until hearing about this community in the papers. Bend over taxpayers (again)! And if you disagree it's off to the diversity gulag for you...........

Wasn't there some western state whose welfare consisted of $100 and a bus ticket to Los Angeles....? Maybe it was a joke, I don't know, but it sounded good to me.

Why do you think we have a billion dollar deficit (which is 20% of the budget)?
We're do gooders up here. There isn't a state run subsidy that we haven't got.

I thought you might be interested in my post about a new group of "Somali" refugees coming soon:
