According to information from the Office of Refuges Resettlement last fiscal year, 7,500 Somalis entered this country out of a total of 17,000 such refugees allotted to Africa. The aggregate total of Somali refugees as of 2005 was close to 70,000. Given figures for both 2006 and 2007, the current total may be approximately 90,000.

Having lived in Southern Africa, I can tell tell you that there are thousands of english-speaking, educated Christian Africans who would loved to get one of those visas, which have been relegated to the Somalis who HATE us.

I will NEVER FORGET the stories of the Somalis in this country who cheered at "Black Hawk Down" screenings, and on 9/11.

Who made the decision to bring these people here?!!!!!

Good question!
They supposedly stopped allowing Somalis in for a short time in 2008 but, IIRC, Obama started allowing them in again after he took office.

Up in central Minnesota (big toikey processing country), the locals blame Catholic Charities......the Somalis have totally funked the local demographic; we were there last summer and I felt like I was in Mogadishu.
