LANCASTER, Calif. – The asylum seeker from Somalia hung his head as an immigration judge grilled him about his treacherous journey from the Horn of Africa. By air, sea and land he finally made it to Mexico, and then a taxi delivered him into the arms of U.S. border agents at San Diego.

Islamic militants had killed his brother, Mohamed Ahmed Kheire testified, and majority clan members had beaten his sister. He had to flee Mogadishu to live.

More than 240 Somalis arrived during that period — more than twice the number from the year before.

"More" being the operative word there because officials have absolutely no clue who or how many have crossed our wide open borders.

Blah , blah, blah. Documentary verification of fact?

Send him to Lewiston Maine, small town America where Somali gangs roam the streets mugging and beating the citizens?

Where did he get the money for such a long tortuous journey? Al Qaeda?

Even if his story is true, he will likely join the ranks of Somali criminals here in the USA.

Hope they check his underwear to make sure there’s no “Boomware” there before they send him back to Mogadishu.

The Somali asylum seeker was grilled by an immigration judge about his treacherous journey from the Horn of Africa..........claiming Islamic militants had killed his brother clan members had beaten his sister. He had to flee Mogadishu to live. By air, sea and land he made it to Mexico, and then a taxi delivered him into the arms of US border agents at San Diego.

NEWS FROM THE GRAVY TRAIN Mexico is the staging area for a new class of refugees whining for "Political Asylum." Social Security has a "persecution" classification (originally for those claiming religious or political persecution from Eastern Bloc countries).

Now the Mexican govt is coaching its citizens to pour into the US, whining about "persecution from abusive spouses, and from drug wars." Some of these whiners are wealthy people, squatting on US soil, intent on draining the US treasury.

THE RIPOFF UP CLOSE Social Security provides outrageous government financial aid to "refugees" claiming "persecution." These people never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they can collect seven years straight...... and can get extended payments if they are politically well-connected. The SS checks can amount to $1000 a month, and more. The category was created for those coming from eastern Europe and other Soviet satellite countries circa WW II....and they're STILL collecting.......connivers draining the US Treasury.

"How are asylum authorities going to substantiate these claims," said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the advocacy group Federation for American Immigration Reform. Mehlman said his organization opposed expanding the asylum law, which was created in 1980 largely as a means for Communist Bloc citizens to defect while visiting the US in a diplomatic role. Backers of the law at the time estimated that claims would average around 5,000 a year and drop off significantly after the Cold War ended.

In fiscal year 2008, the government received 47,459 asylum claims and granted 10,743 - a decrease over the previous year's 54,957 applications and 12,807 approvals.

=============================================

Amnesty critics say our CIA and State Dept are well aware of the dark side of Mexico and regularly brief US presidents on the reality south of the border.

Despite this, President Bush, and now President Obama, have been secretly working to integrate the US and Mexico into a common political and economic unit.

“It is unfortunate that Mexico got off to such a bad start,” said Glenn Spencer of the American Patrol Report,” but it is wrong to sacrifice the United States of America to correct problems south of the border.”

Spencer said while Mexicans are being besieged, which is nothing new for them, Americans are being betrayed by a government that refuses to protect them.

Wonder how many would come here if they didn’t think they’d be getting a free ride?

The Maine Somalis have proven themselves, man, woman, and child, to be a massive, intractable pain in the ass. Whose idea was it again, to move these border bandits to the US because the rival Somali border bandits didn’t like them?
