Ilyas Maye, 24, is one of the young Minneapolis Somali men who has returned to his homeland. He went back last year, for three months.
"I went outside to see what the world had to offer me," said Maye, who owns a clothing store on Lake Street in Minneapolis. "And I would go back again."
He did not, he insisted, go to fight. He went for a new perspective on his life in America. And others are doing the same thing, Maye and several other local Somali men said Wednesday.
Many have found only disappointment here -- lost jobs, trouble with the law, poor prospects. So, he said, they go back to Somalia for a fresh start or to reconnect with their culture. Or, he said, "to do something good."

What authorities are trying to determine is whether they are participating in terrorist activities.

spit-load of Somalis in Maine...i wonder if they are also leaving

Illegal Mexicans next? Politico’s alway’s claim that if it was not for Yobs they would not come in. Well the Yobs are going fast.
they are certainly welcome to return to somalia..... goodbye
Dear “Homesick” Somalis,
Then go and don’t let the door hit in your Somali ass on the way out.
I am SURE we could take up a collection for these “individuals” to go back to the mud hut they are missing.
No place to cash the welfare checks.
How fast can they be loaded and shipped back? Tomorrow?
BYE!
But the problem is, they keep coming back. As we have seen, they are being recruited while here, they go home to fight or train and then they come back.....and folks at the StarTribune think this is a wonderful thing...
Political correctness is going to get us all killed!
Where can I make a donation to help buy them one way tickets back to Somalia?
Let ‘em go. Cancel their visas so they can’t come back, too.
The gall of these creeps and their slavishly anti-American news paper saying that all they find here is “disappointment.”
Ingrates.
“Somali men cast longing looks home (MN Somalis)”
GO HOME to your turd-world hellhole, lowlifes!
It seems to me these young Somali men need a spriritual advisor to accompany them as they head back to Mogadishu, someone like, hmmmm, someone like Stuart Smalley.
How much does it cost to charter a plane? I mean, the least we could do is to help ...
He owns a clothing store, but has been deprived of opportunity in the US? Cry me a river.
“Longing looks” at “home”? Their “home” is HQ to Islamofascist pirates! What a bunch of savages.
