Former senior Canadian Intelligence official David Harris told United Press International there was concern that returning militia veterans with "the kind of skills that ... could make them very dangerous," might try to stage terror attacks.

This is just great! :(

The Governor of Maine and Rep Tom Allen (D) brought in over 1,200 Somali's to Lewiston, Maine several years ago.  The majority won't work because they have to do prayer every 4 hours.  No one will hire them, so they are sucking on our welfare system.

And Minnesota is the cousin of MAINE!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The operators of truck driving schools in Kansas City and southern Missouri conspired to help more than 70 Somali and Bosnian nationals illegally obtain commercial driver's licenses, federal prosecutors alleged Thursday.
