"We have come from hell to heaven."

One generation and they'll all be America-haters.

It's the law.

[battousai]

"America gives us the chance to study, to work and to make money. It's the best thing,"

At least they have the correct attitude... for now... America lets you prosper if you want to.

[faithincowboys]

"The mother attends English classes at the refugee center in the morning while her husbands stays home with the three youngest children."

Is there a typo in there or does the woman have multiple husbands?

[templar]

...America lets you prosper if you want to.

Unfortunately, America also lets you prosper even if you don't want to. If you're here illegally anyway.

In any event, these people seem to want to work hard and put out honest effort to get ahead. Something that makes the welcome in my eyes.

[Hildy]

We have a large Somali population here in San Diego and apparently a large gang problem has developed.

[Kay Soze]

Hey he probably made some of the clothes that are on sale at Walmart!

[Khurkris]

just something else to PO the Mescans...lol.

[Kay Soze]

They have a gang problem here in SD!

Must be frustrating for them not to be able to locate RPGs and AK47s - as their fathers could in their "old gang"!

[Age of Reason]

Send them back.

[WackyKat]

I smell the stench of a Reuters PC puff piece.
I bet if you talked to these people's neighbors and others who have to deal with them, you would get the real story.
Of course, no mention of how much free taxpayers money they're getting every month.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

But they do get homesick sometimes. That's why many of them vote Democrat, to lower America to the same status of the dunghole country they left.

Doesn't having the Bantu around attract Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner?

"Some Bantus practice polygamy and many subject their women to female genital mutilation -- both of which are illegal in the United States."

Cut off the clitoris because it is shameful that a woman should enjoy sex! The Black, Asian and Mexican gangs think they are tough characters. When it comes to cold, vicious, hard core killers these animals have everyone in the world beat.

Be sure to thank Sen. Kennedy for having them in your community.

[Missouri]

Be sure to thank Sen. Kennedy for having them in your community

Don't get me started on Kennedy. I'll lose sleep tonight.

Everytime I hear about Somalis, I think of Blackhawk Down. And I don't care if they're Bantu or not.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Now, Hassan, 20, and his family live in a four-room apartment in upstate New York. They buy clothes at Wal-Mart and food in a supermarket. Hassan works in a local cosmetics factory. His brothers and sisters attend American schools

Mr. Hassan Wal-Mart loves you along with the the millions of the illegal aliens that continue to flood our country..More people, buy more, more people, buy more....LOL!

You know, if we could only bring in 75 million more people, I'm sure the economy would boom. Would could build 40 story pink apartment building on the plains of Texas....YOWZA!

[GrandMoM]

BUMP

[junta]

Propaganda pure and simple.

[JustPiper]

Now, the United States has agreed to accept all 13,000 Somali Bantus remaining in these camps, and they will be brought over during the next few years.

I don't care if he's Bantus or ToyRus, Mexican or African or Iraqi, we are bringing yet 13,000 more illegals and a definite threat to security!!! Send them to Saudi!

I dunno. My dad is first generation American, and my mom was born in Italy. I think that makes me a .5 Generation American, but I was never too good at math. In any case, me and siblings are all conservatives. Me and my brother and sister are Republicans, and my other brother is a Conservative. We have consistently looked at Liberals and Democrats as downright nutty.

My sis married a conservative gentleman, and they now have a child. My brothers and I are all in our late 20s to mid 30s, and we all date cheap floozies and have lots of fun in doing so.

Conservativsm Lives!
