The flow of immigrants to Minnesota is quietly reaching record highs amid signs of what could prove to be a profound and lasting shift in their continents of origin.
For the first time ever, African nations are supplying more than half the state's legal immigrants. Four countries from that continent now stand atop the list.
Arrivals are doubling and quadrupling from countries such as Kenya and Liberia even as numbers are tapering off, for a variety of reasons, from past immigrant taproots such as India, Thailand and Russia, federal data show.

oh great....
just what Minnesota needs : massive AFRICA immigration
STOP ! NOW !
Been thru the Mpls airport lately ?
It’s run by Somalis.
Minnesotans, generally speaking, are gutless leftist jackasses. The evil invaders perceive the weakness, irrationality, and corruption of their hosts and respond by flooding in and taking over. This is not hard to observe or understand.
Bambi said he wanted to increase immigration from Africa and the Muslim world and he did. This is actually all the result of a change in admission policies that he quietly enacted shortly after becoming president.
People here who are hysterical about Mexicans are missing what´s really going on. The way to deal with Mexicans is offer more short-term legal slots, immediately kick out anybody who doesn´t comply with the requirements (which could be retroactive in the case of those already employed here), and make sure that there is no more illegal border traffic. That way employers get the employees they need, these people can go back to their countries when the employment ends, can come and go to visit their families without wanting to smuggle them into the US, etc. Mexico is a special case because it´s next door, and as long as the Mexican economy is lame and the US needs laborers, people are going to want to come here and our current policy is unrealistic. But any policy has got to benefit the US first.
What the US doesn´t seem to understand is that we need to manage immigration in a way that benefits us primarily, not for some mythical ¨family reunion¨ goal or because of ideological nonsense about ¨diversity¨ or any other nonsense. We had a virtually wide-open policy at points in the 19th century, because we needed the labor and it benefitted us. Now we have to be selective, but it´s still got to be based on our needs.
African Muslim immigration does nothing to benefit us and we don´t need them. It just brings in another group of people who will not assimilate, who come from a dysfunctional, passive but violent culture, and who bring their hideous vicious cult with them and will soon be demanding shariah in ¨their¨ neighborhoods.
I hear a giant flushing sound in our land
Stop the process
That and khat/drug rings
The Immigration system needs a major overhaul. And I don't mean just buying new computers that don't work.
I am thinking maybe that they are working with old quotas and old ideas. That is the only way to explain the difficulty people have in honestly trying to become citizens.
The United States Constitution and the Koran are mutually exclusive.
next, expect epidemic numbers of HIV/AIDS cases at local area hospitals, since the visa quotas for those with such conditions from Africa have been drastically increased under this admin.
MN, once a clean, pristine state, will now turn into the same filthy cesspool Britain has largely become, and for the same reason.
MN has a future of violence and welfare to look forward to as their main industries.
Actually, African migration may be a boon to the area unless their children assimilate with the local African-Americans. For a while, my neighborhood was rife with violence from AA gangs from Chicago until the Hispanics and East Africans started moving in.
If there are going to be immigrants from Africa, make sure they’re Kenyans and Ethiopians. Ethiopians and Kenyans (Save for the Kenyan in Chief) are typically hard workers and strong Christians. In fact, if it wasn’t for Ethiopia, we’d probably all be worshiping Jupiter or Odin.
*Taps foot and waits for nonsensical shaming language*
keep in mind, it’s not first-come, first-serve. each country has a quota on the number of people allowed from that country into the US. if kenya is at the top of the list, that is because somebody tweaked the numbers to make it that way. this is not by accident.
european countries have had very low quotas for decades. i tried to get my engineer cousins into the US from Scotland... not allowed... no visas available. meanwhile, there was a never ending flow coming from india (in the late 90s / early 2000s)
hey that’s a great perspective ! Thanks !
In America : the MORE CHRISTIANS ...the better !
Before we let people into this country, we need to consider what they’ve done to their own country and reject/accept accordingly.
Represented by Franken.
Supercilious Minnesotans will be the next wave of carpetbaggers.
Obama’s quest to bring in more reinforcements to fight against the War On Poverty continues.
Yeah, people typically think that Christianity is something that’s a European and North American institution and convention, but there are a lot of Christians all over the globe.
As long as they are 'legal' Right? We are purposely being destroyed. Only question is...will we protect ourselves?
