They don't speak English, and they've never seen a flush toilet before. Wouldn't they be more comfortable in France?

"Do not assume they can open a door just because it has a doorknob," Chanoff said.

Yes, but how long will it take for them to discover welfare???

[Textide]

About 4,000 Somalis have been resettled in Georgia since 1992, mostly in Clarkston. About 1,000 left for Lewiston, Maine, in search of better schools, less crime and more generous housing subsidies and welfare benefits.

Actually it is not uncommon for "state workers" to propose
to people on welfare what states to go to to keep benefits
alive.-Take Wisconsin one of the first "get tough" on welfare benefits--THOUSANDS started migrating to Minnesota
on the recommendation of their case workers--this was documented in the 90's. liberal Minn. did not care.Our church
sponsered "and continues to help" with a minister educated
here -Luther college- his family was stunned by what we have
they came from Tanzania and never wanted to move back--He was offered many jobs here in the U.S.- felt that God had
called on him to return and help the people of Tanzania.

[Claire Voyant]

Now THAT was FUNNY!!!!

[Claire Voyant]

I pray they can be converted to Christianity.

[Lion Den Dan]

I am so glad we are getting these people to round out our diversity and improve our culture.

[ozone1]

I guess its now politically incorrect to call them Somali's.

[Master of Orion]

I hear Afghanistan might have some room.

[glockmeister40]

Every one of these people will be a welfare recipient. We now have 12,000 new mouths to feed, fron cradle to grave. These prople are unable to function at all in a technical society. We have not done them any favor, just made them forever dependent on welfare handouts. They will breed and create more welfare cases.

[per loin]

Have we a such a shortage of welfare recipients, that we now have to import them?

[LibWhacker]

Oh yeah, that's right . . . Let's take people who think nothing of taking another human life -- indeed, who have grown up doing just that on a regular basis -- who have not the slighest conception of human rights or human dignity, and bring them here by the tens of thousands.

We can throw a dog owner in jail if he trains his dog to be a danger to society, yet what has the State Dept. done to make sure these people know it's wrong to rape, murder and steal?

[SheLion]

Yes, but how long will it take for them to discover welfare???

Not long! We can count on it.

[SheLion]

I am so glad we are getting these people to round out our diversity and improve our culture.

Your kidding, right?

[SheLion]

Have we a such a shortage of welfare recipients, that we now have to import them?

We have our own homeless, living under the bridge down town, yet the immigrants get first class treatment from ranch homes to anything in a shelter they want.

One of our own girls went to a shelter to get diapers for her baby. The Somali women beat her to it, and cleaned out every last diaper the shelter had on hand.

Oh sure. Bring them all in! We Americans will pay for them! ~sigh

[The Great RJ]

Don't be too quick to judge these people. Go back in your own past--most of our ancestors (including some of mine) came to the USA not speaking the language, hardly having seen let alone driven an automobile, were not acustomed to having electricity, indoor plumbing or a telephone and with a cultural and ethnic heritage often far different from the main stream. Their kids and grandkids as well as many of them became fully "Americanized."

I'm sure in 20 years we will see Congressional Democrats opposing one of the children of these Bantu refugees from becoming a federal judge.
