Can't blame the banks. There is NO proof of where this money is going and what it is being used for. And by whom.

Let me offer a simple solution.

Gather up all of your money and bring it personally to Somalia.

And don't come back, lest we get pushy.

[Paladin2]

they can just catch the next plane back.

[House Atreides]

Your plan seems sound to me.

[WorkingClassFilth]

24,000 Somalis sending money back home.

Seeing that most Somalis are on assistance of one form or another, that’s your money and mine going to people on the other side of the planet for no other reason than that our representative government deems it proper.

Multiply this by a majority of other idiot states that facilitate this nonsense and you have a very pretty picture indeed.

I can only hope that my African Somali family is well taken care of.

"Merchants Bank did not respond to a call for comment, but the move to halt transfers to Somalia comes in the wake of a cease-and-desist order issued last year by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of Currency. According to that order, Merchants could not adequately prove all the money being wired from the U.S. was going to legitimate sources abroad. Treasury officials worry about American-based foreign nationals helping finance jihadist groups, including Somalia-based Al-Shabab, which is among the world’s most dangerous terrorist groups."

US Treasury Dept is shutting this down.

Star Trib runs the sob story.

I have a better solution: Gather up all of the Somali transplants and send them back to their wretched homeland and let them begin the process of cleaning up that cesspool. All involved would be better off, IMO.

Take their money and force them to convert to Christianity at gunpoint; if they refuse, cut their heads off.

[SuperLuminal]

Simple solution.

Tell them it is going to the jungle but deposit it as otherwise unpaid federal income taxes...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

30 thousand Somalis in the Twin Cities now ?
Thank the Lord we got out when we did.

[Lockbar]

Ain’t multiculturalism great?

[pallis]

Have Uncle Sam send the welfare checks back home, and go there to make sure the checks are arriving.

[The Working Man]

If they have enough money left over from their welfare payments to send to Africa then they are receiving to much Welfare paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.

Businesses are a different deal, but really now... how many of them are there?

[ViLaLuz]

Well someone has to pay for their khat.
