Somalis in Minneapolis: their numbers are growing and they’re bringing expensive autistic children
The Collins Report ^ | April 11, 2010 | Suzanne Eovaldi

Posted on 04/11/2010 7:04:24 AM PDT by jmaroneps37

The St. Patrick’s Day festivities meant something much different for the couple in their 80s from Minneapolis than for the other revelers at the local American Legion Post... Within days the couple would be returning home to a Minnesota suburb now changed forever by the huge influx of Somali immigrants whose behavior had forced them to move... “They are taught how to flush,” Marie (not her real name) said. She began to describe how the émigrés are taught how to use and flush a toilet, how to turn on kitchen faucets to get hot and cold water and how to use a stove in a house built in Somalia expressly to teach immigrants to the United States how to behave in their new surroundings

... One of 11 children of Eastern European descent, she said, “We spoke English.” The life she and her husband lived was one of hard work, diligence and respect for our country..... Describing how the Somalis bring home their groceries in the metal carts and just discard them along the streets and sidewalks, frustrated Marie. When she asked one woman why she didn’t return the carts, she was told that someone from the store always comes along and picks them up.

In that small detail, Marie revealed a totally different mindset from America’s earlier immigrants than from what she and her husband were confronting today.

Somali immigration trends in Minnesota have exponentially grown from 1990 when fewer than 5,000 residents were born in Africa, to the estimated 25,000 Somali residents by 2004 “with no signs of slowing down.” Most are Sunni Muslims.

Brought initially to the northern state by do-gooder missionaries, the Somalis [use all of the] opportunities...[and bring autisic children in return].. “Somali children in this country experience higher levels of severe autism.”

Paying for the damaged children from around the world sounds great until these people run out of other people's money to pay for their "good deeds."

This is just another important problem going unreported by our "good friends" in the Democrat controlled media. Is there any wonder which Party will benefit from these Somalis?

We can't afford them, regardless of whether they're autistic or not.

A huge group of Somalis moved to Atlanta and then heard that the gravy train was richer in Maine, so they moved up there to bankrupt that state. My question is how are these people who are so poor making the trip to America? Who is subsidizing this? Who were these “do-good” Missionaries? Name names, please. CAIR???? I think these children must be terrified - I would hide under the bed, too.

The source article quotes a doctor saying this. This is NOT the author’s opinion!

So there’s something about moving to the US which drastically increases Autism. Hmm.

Crappy food ? Excessive vaccination ? Who the heck knows.

the main problem with our healthcare is that we’ve
let millions of illegals in and thanks to bill clinton’s
executive order, gave them complete access to use emergency
rooms and hospitals for their healthcare. their children
now have schip. they do not even come close to contributing
through taxes the amount they take out of system.

Maybe the Mexicans will kill them.

Multiculturalism is always interesting as long as it happens to someone else.

Anyhoo, these are the folks the ‘Rats and O are sharing your Social Security contributions with. You know, the ones you thought were being put away to help you in your old age.

THE GREAT SOMALI WELFARE HUNT And, in Lewiston Maine> Quote from an article:

” Those Somali already in Lewiston have found what they call their “dream place.” Nonetheless, they understand that there are other dream places in the United States, and they mean to find them. Following their ancient practice of “sahan,” they send young men out in all directions to find not water and good grazing, as in Somalia, but public housing and generous welfare benefits. The tribe then follows. “They came in droves off the buses,” said Lewiston council president Bernier, and “some made the welfare office their first stop.” The practice of sahan has become more sophisticated in the United States. The Somalis use the Internet to access the websites of states and towns across the nation, checking crime rates, welfare programs, housing, and schools. Employment opportunities are evidently a low priority. This certainly removes the main obstacle for most of us relocating to dream places. Abdiaziz Ali, the welfare caseworker, is not shy about announcing the Somalis’ intentions. “We can spread out—anywhere we want.”

When she asked one woman why she didn’t return the carts, she was told that someone from the store always comes along and picks them up.

On my morning walks here in NV I used to run into abandoned carts left by the Mexicans (we never had that problem until they flooded in). I used to walk them back just to help keep the town "uncluttered" - until the third time, when I realized I was just enabling the abusers. Still occasionally run into one and it bugs me to leave it there, but I have had ENOUGH.
