After 18 months, 90% are still unemployed

A little different than previous immigrant groups. I know my Irish ancestors had to take hard jobs to come here ---I'm glad they didn't have welfare then. This group is another group destined to failure because they'll get used to project living and welfare, and watching Jerry Springer all day for something to do.

Project living, welfare, watching Jerry Springer and going to Mosque to hear they need to kill Christians and Jews...just like the Somali refugees in Europe now.

When I lived in Minneapolis (AKA the top destination for Somalian immigrants), I had to walk past a group of these guys every time I walked to the grocery store. They were extremely threatening and intimidating to the folks who passed them by.

I always carried pepper spray with me just in case.

Yup. Earlier immigrant groups had a very strong work ethic. To keep them 'honest' in this regard, we didn't have a welfare system to prop them up and make them lazy. NOW, however, the work ethic is different AND we have welfare. Read PJ O'Rourke's books where he talks about Somalia. Apparently their work ethic ain't so great in Somalia either.

I know, in my case, I come from a long line of hardworkers too. Back then, when you came here, you found something to earn your keep. I have nothing against welfare and such if a person is disabled, too old to work, and so on, but it seems like most waves of new immigrants come here to feed off the welfare system. I know this may not be politically correct, but I think it's time we put a hockey jersey, goalie mask, and goalie stick on the Statue of Liberty. B-P I think we need a lot more tighter controls on immigration than we have now.

Also, don't forget that most immigrants who came over from the Colonial times to the mid 20th Century came from countries that had basic Western values and predominatly Judeo/Christian so those immigrants could have fit into American society much easier than most immigrants today. I just think our national identity and survival are at stake here and I think we are doing a poor job at worst and lackluster job at best into protecting that.
