What the hell are they doing in Maine?

When our Governor was still a Senator, he worked with Rep. Tom Allen and the Catholic Charities to bring in 1,200 Somali's to Lewiston.  Last I heard, 49 of them worked, while the rest lives off of state welfare.  Why Maine?  Beats me.

But the one hijacker stopped over in Portland (right by Lewiston) the night before 9-11.  Who did he talk to?  A lot of us are wondering that very thing.  WHO did he talk to?  Why did he spend the night in Portland, Maine?  Why not Bangor or Boston?

BALDACCI AND ALLEN SEEK FEDERAL ASSISTANCE TO ADDRESS INFLUX OF SOMALI IMMIGRANTS

June 6, 2002

Representatives Baldacci and Allen called for $100,000 in funding to enable Catholic Charities of Maine to provide needed services to Somali immigrants in Lewiston and other communities. Catholic Charities provides outreach and assistance to refugees and immigrants.

Maine has a hard time finding work and feeding their own. Yet Baldacci and Allen want to help the INFLUX of immigrants! What's up with this!

There are some Christian Somalis - who probably would have made very good immigrants - but I doubt that your Somalis were among them.

Catholic Charities is a notoriously left wing group that does everything possible to avoid supporting Christians (although they once did a lot of good by bringing Christian Hmongs to this country after the Vietnam War). I stopped contributing to them long ago.
