It started under Clinton and Bush continued the policy.
Superb reportage, ha ... Somalia is in East Africa!
Exactly. Wonder how many Somali’s are currently ‘community organizers’?
Send em packin before they breed, Minnesota!!
In the world of the MSM good is evil, up is down, and east is west.
***They have brought what makes Somalia a hell hole to Minneapolis and are turning it into a backward, Islamic hell hole,***
Soon they will probably be patroling Minneapolis streets in Toyota pickups with a .50 cal machine gun in the back!
That means obtain high political office for which you are totally unqualified, legally unelectable due to foreign born status, and for which you never intend to actually show up for work. Ain't America wonderful! Date night for the Neros while the economy burns to the ground.
Truly, our government, as managed the past 40-60 years, is the enemy of the people it was constructed to protect.
It was proposed by Representative Emanuel Celler (D-NY), co-sponsored by Senator Philip Hart (D-MI).
It was heavily promoted and supported by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), who was just starting his career of lying and cheating and destroying America, Kennedy made this argument during the dabate:
"First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965
Last week I was visiting Minneapolis and looked at the Yellow Pages - the number of Lutheran churches was AMAZING compared to those of other denominations.
Of course, I knew that most of them are hellholes of liberation theology.
The Somalis were in Minneapolis before 2000. I blame the bleeding heart liberal “churches” for sponsoring them.
We give them housing...food...education...support...jobs...
They give us crime, death, and violence.
And we continue to import them.
We have doomed our society.
Two things. One, its tempting to say that the cause of the chaos and violence of their Somali homeland is the high concentration of Somalis there. Bring in a few refugees, and you've granted mercy to a fortunate few who want to escape from hell. Bring more than a few, however, and they bring hell with them.
You should never admit more immigrants from any one country than what you can assimilate. Bring in a few, and they will adapt themselves to your way of life by necessity, and the toxic culture they escaped from will be left behind. Bring in more than a few, and that very same toxic culture will put down roots and now not only have they not escaped it they have spread it to new horizons.
Secondly, and very importantly, immigration policy should always serve the interests of the citizen. It serves the interest of citizens to allow some immigration. It does not serve the interest of citizens to allow massive and indiscriminate immigration.
Anyone regulating immigration policy should be able to explain how a given policy benefits citizens, or else the policy must change to one that does.
We allow a million legal immigrants each and every year, and another half million enter illegally. Who decided a million was the right number? When did citizens vote on that? When was it debated and defended and explained to the American people?
It never was. Typically immigration policy is determined completely without regard to the interests of the American people and this is an abuse of power on the part of the people who direct this policy.
It's a little too late for that, unfortunately.
Oh,God,what would Perry Mason do?
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
That's about five points higher than Minnesota's average.
“Somali gangs and Somali gangsters are particularly violent and ruthless, with nearly no regard for human life. They have a whole separate morality (or complete absence of morality, rather) that most of us in the “Civilized” world would find quite disturbing. It’s an Amorality with a violent subcurrent.”
This sounds just like what islam dicates.
LOL.
This could be a fluctuating figure; after all, Al Franken leaves the State now and then.
I have Minnesota relatives who prided themselves on how much they loved “diversity.” I warned them back in the late 80’s, but they knew that “Minnesota is different.” Oops. Ventura, Somalis, and Franken. That’s “different” all right. My relatives haven’t extolled the virtues of immigration for some time now. The only thing going for them is there are more than enough deer rifles and empty corn fields to deal with the gang problem if the government can’t.
