Minnesota did not invite them in. The federal government chose when and where to establish groups of refugees. Once a colony is established, it is natural for others to follow as they wish to be with people who share their values, culture, faith, language, etc.
As a Minnesotan, I can assure you that it is impossible to find out how many more refugees are being planned for our state. When we ask this question, the news media puts it on the front page of their papers with the word ‘RACISTS’ in capital letters.
It is clear why the rural towns in Minnesota voted for President Donald J Trump by margins of 80%. Those folks are not so easily intimidated by university intellectuals as they live in the real world without silly liberals as neighbors.
You may have overlooked the US Rep from Minnesota’s 5th District.
One more thing about Minnesota’s Muslims and the social issues surrounding their presence here.
Last September a young Muslim man entered the St. Cloud Crossroads mall on a Saturday evening and proceeded to begin stabbing people. He injured 9 or 10 people, several being admitted to the local hospital for a few days.
St. Cloud is an hour NW of the Twin Cities and is a medium size town with a state university. Stearns County also has two Catholic institutions of higher learning - St. John’s and St. Benedict’s. There is also an area Vocational-Technical College in the city. With all that overload of university professors and administrators, St. Cloud barely voted a majority for Hillary Clinton. The rest of the county went about 75-85% for Donald Trump making Stearns County’s presidential vote for Trump in the 61% range overall.
When jihad reaches central Minnesota, rural folks take notice. This new incident of a Somali police officer in Mpls shooting an unarmed woman to death cannot be masked by any liberal shenanigans of the Twin Cities and national news medias.
I listen to liberals talking about how in 2018 they are going to take back the US House and Senate. I do not think in Minnesota they are going to able to reverse the trend of 2016. People are fed up. Republicans are going to ‘Make Minnesota Red’ in 2018.
