This problem is crystallized by the present situation is Lewiston, Maine, where African Muslims, many from the Bantu tribe, began arriving in 2001 at the rate of 100 a month.
Mohammed Maye, the president of the African Community and Refugee Center in Clarkston, Georgia posted a map of Lewiston on the wall of his office. Go to Maine, he advised the Somali immigrants. Abdullahi Abdullahi, the president of the Somali Community Development Organization in Clarkston, upheld this advice by telling his fellow countrymen that, unlike Georgia, Maine has terribly cold winters, but the welfare system is better.
Lewiston, indeed, was better. The small town in Maine with a population of 30,000 provided welfare to anyone in need, with the state picking up half the tab. Recipients, including the Muslim refugees, were allowed a generous five years of assistance before their benefits became terminated, and extensions for several additional years on the public dole were not difficult to obtain. Single parents could stay on welfare and go to college.
Public housing was also available, although, with the influx of Somalis, the housing projects became packed to capacity. Many of the new project dwellers were single Somali mothers with large broods of children. Those who are unable to obtain public housing were handed Section 8 vouchers, which the federal government provided to subsidize their rent in private apartments.
The newcomers have shown scant interest in securing employment. When Renee Bernier, the president of the Lewiston city council, offered to hire 30 Somalis at the rate of $8 to $10 an hour to hold warning signs at construction sites, few displayed interest. The handful, who did apply, said that they were only willing to work between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The Somali population of Lewiston now exceeds 40,000.

No...just gtfo!
Why not raise an American flag rather than their own?...Telling...
We no longer insist people honor this country...they aren't in Somaliland anymore!!
If a people become too civilized to do what’s necessary to survive in and uncivilized world, they won’t survive, and, yes, that could be considered a form of suicide.
What will future historians write about the “Fall of Western Civilization”? Will they say, kindness and compassion killed them?
That fat pig LBJ is responsible for a lot of evil, but the article says the african ragheads started coming here during jorge busho’s watch. There’s plenty of blame to go around.

You have got to be kidding.
I knew families that had 5 and 6 kids to a room.
They all turned out just fine.
Also,what’s wrong with parking on the street?
.
Can't mix iron and clay ....Islam is the problem, period. Even with Somalians...because the Koran, Haddith and Shariah are their touchstones.
Stop giving away free $hit, stop getting freeloaders.
well we’ve seen what happens when migrant “salaries” are slashed
Like locusts, they leave
So how about it Lewiston- 50% reduction in city welfare
Be like Denmark!
I agree with that.
We should be working to reduce Islam in the U. S., not increase it.
Offer them money to leave. It will be money well spent.
Maybe that should be 4,000. Census facts show the Lewiston population estimated to be 36,299 in 2014. But 4,000 is a huge influx for a town that size.
Nor did they insist on amnesty..they went thru the process for citizenship and were PROUD to do so...they didn't take to the streets and insult this nations peoples as these people do..ungrateful for the freedom they claim sought when it's nothing to do with freedom except freedom form responsibility for their own life..........
No, and you are right in that there are a lot of good things -- having Grandma live in the house. Maybe not a bad lesson, life experience.
So, I catch your points as well.
There are just differences. Differences that made us America and not India.
And regardless of where they came from, when they got here they wanted to become AMERICANS.
Of course, it was nice that they brought lasagna, bratwurst, gyros, and kung pao chicken with them, but they still became Americans first and foremost.
“.....social graces of a yak with the runs.”
That line is going to make me laugh for the rest of the day.

We are being replaced.
From Wiki:
“The Somali Bantu (also called Jareer, Gosha, Mushunguli) are an ethnic minority group in Somalia who primarily reside in the southern part of the country, near the Juba and Shabelle rivers. They are descendants of people from various Bantu ethnic groups, whom were captured from Southeast Africa and sold into slavery in Somalia and other areas in Northeast Africa and Asia as part of the 19th century Arab slave trade.[”
Victims of muslim slavers.
These refugee families have changed the demographics of their host cities, such as Shelbyville, Tennessee; Lewiston, Maine; and Minneapolis, Minnesota,.... ALL which have reported 'culture clashes' between Muslims expecting everything from foot baths at public colleges to dietary concessions at public schools......FBI investigations into 25 to 30 Somali refugees leaving their homes in Minnesota to become fighters for ISIS in Syria and the al-Qaida-linked Al-Shabab in Somalia.
Average Somalia family....in America...they are 'quickly' connected to an array of taxpayer-funded social services, including Medicaid,... food stamps... subsidized housing and Interpreters and tutors are often provided for the adults and children...most are illiterate.
That’s...they wanted to be American...that has NOT been so for decades now. All I hear anymore are “protests” about their rights....it’s disgusting...we should make a law that if they do these things against the generosity of their country they get shipped back to their nation.

Joke of the day
A man walk into a muslim bookstore.
“How may I assist you?” asks the turban-clad proprietor.
The customer responds “I am looking for that new title that is about the dangers of allowing muslim immigration. Do you have it?”
With fire in his eyes the store owner points to the door and screams “Get the fuck out of here and don’t come back!!”
The customer responds “Yes, that’s the one! Do you have it in paperback?”
