What if your community took in half of them, like that town in Ohio that ended up with 30,0000 Somalis who are now telling the original inhabitants how to live? I don't know why we have to take in every last loser and piece of human dreck from the entire world. I thought we were over there fighting so they would have a chance to live in a decent society on their native soil.
From a relatively urban area with a fair amount of Muslims (granted, not as much as Dearborn, Michigan, but.....) and other non-Christians; so far, society seems to keep on running.
I believe that town is in Maine.
Somehow, and I can't understand why, our government moved many of those muslim Somalis from Atlanta (where they were in constant conflict with the local black population) to this small Maine city where they proceeded to break the welfare budget.
The mayor appealed to them to get jobs, but many refused saying they didn't want to start a work shift until after 10:00AM.
Case in point. When the government does these refugee programs it almost always ends up imposing severe costs onto unwilling neighbors in the proximity of where they decide to settle them.
A couple thousand new residents aren't going to sway many national elections, but those residents (and their anchor children and grandchildren) can completely alter the political policies and makeup of a local government in a rural community. Dump a bunch of muslim refugees in a sleepy conservative farm town deemed "insufficiently diverse" by the DoS, and next thing you know there's a guy running for the town council or county commission on a platform of Shari'a law.
