Somalis are not ‘trash.’ Every one of them is as much a creation of God as you are, with every human failing, yet so loved by God that he sent his Son to die for them, and not just us.
There are, however, a great many Somalis who represent a threat to the religious liberty and lives of the rest, which is why there’s probably only about 10,000 Christians left in Somalia. Any Muslims that persecuted Christians in Somalia were bound to do it here as well, and these are threat to everyone’s religious liberty. So why were they brought over...the first Somalis, the truly persecuted ones could not be thrilled by that, only terrified.
The question is, why did so-called charitable organizations, after bringing over persecuted Christians, assist in serving as cover for, rather than objecting to, bringing in second and nth waves of the very people who persecuted the first?
There is the obligation to love one’s enemies, but we can love them without bringing them here. So why did they bring them here? It looks like they simply chose the pieces of silver over the welfare of the flock.

A lot of the "mainstream Lutheran" - think ELCA - orgs were co-opted by the left a very long time ago, allowing some very bad people to set policies diametrically opposed to the Gospel, while providing a sort of residual religious camouflage. There are still some - mostly older - people I know who automatically assume that the word "Lutheran" is a guarantor of trustworthiness, and whenever they begin to have doubts, their new young pastor assures them that bad is actually good.
Check out some of the leftists, gay priders and pan-Islamists who are faculty at "Lutheran" colleges like Luther in Decorah and Wartburg in Waverly. The "welfare of the flock" means something completely different nowadays.
Sure they are ... NOT.
Somalis should stay in Somalia, maybe they can Make Somalia Great Again.
To these apostate Lutherans, ‘trash’ are congregants that believe marriage is one man and one woman, biblically.
The ELCA hierarchy went apostate and leftist long ago, along with RCC, PCUSA, ECUSA, NBCUSA and on sand on.
If they’re a member of The World Council of Churches, linked below, consider them apostate. If you’re part of one of these, flee from it.

However, sometimes there’s an obligation to kill them while you’re loving them.
The Somalis that ended up in Minnesota are deeply infested with “trash” to which I referred. What was once a decent community — Minneapolis — is now rife with Somali gangs and jihadists, many of whom shuttle back and forth to Somalia to commit acts of terror. This country made a horrible mistake by ever involving itself in Somalia’s civil war in 1992-93, and I will never forgive those who brought those wretched people here to this country.
