Afghan terror and Somalia fraud shows why Trump is right on migrants

You have to be careful with a country. Even a nation as vast in size and huge in population as the United States cannot be endlessly experimented upon. You cannot just leave borders open, or allow in large numbers of people with totally different value systems from your own.

That is the mistake many European countries have committed in recent years. They have opened their homes up to people from almost every part of the world where there is civil strife, war or just a lower standard of living.

The results can be seen everywhere. It is the reason why a country like Sweden — that used to be such a placid, decent place — has become one of the most violent countries in the world not actually at war. Grenade attacks, gang-warfare: these things were recently alien to Sweden. Not anymore.

It is the same here in the United States — though here the effects are more dispersed, so the problem can be covered up for longer.

But two things have happened in the past week that ought to allow any American reflect on how carefully we should treat the future of this country.

The first is the discovery — reported first in City Journal — of vast amounts of welfare and charitable fraud being carried out by the Somali residents of Minnesota.

Somalia has been in a state of war and collapse for more than three decades. As a result many Western countries — including America — were persuaded to give asylum to large numbers of Somalis.

But not everybody changes their behavior and experience just because they fly from one country to another. Violence and corruption are rife in Somalia, and so large numbers of Somalis bring these traditions with them. Speak to politicians in Europe and you will be hard-pushed to...

They all need to go! I’m not particular about how it happens.

I was about to write the very same thing, “They all need to go.” Enough is enough. The BS needs to stop.

Let’s not quickly forget Venezuelan & Chinese terrorism (e.g., Tren de Aragua), spies (students and drifting balloons) and drugs (helpful cover arranged by Hunter Biden).

Let’s give the New York Post a bit of credit here. No other mainstream media source would have considered printing such an honest article.

Well done, New York Post.

A few more attacks like Wednesday and nobody will be able to stop Trump from mass deportations.

Western Europe has adjusted to these Muslim attacks. It’s now run-of-the-mill. A brutal attack occurs. Some official expresses outrage. And that’s it. Nothing more is done.

Thank goodness for President Trump! Had Kamala won, we’d be responding just as Western Europe does.

I grew up against the backdrop of a lot of civil strife and discord within our society

Had a really cool social sciences prof in college who had bone a lot of research on civil strife and violence in societies

The number one indicator for a civil, harmonious and tranquil society was racial and cultural homogeneity combined with absences of ethnic division

Very harmonious and well behaved societies were invariably the ones with the highest degrees of racial, ethnic. and cultural homogeneity and vice versa for those with the greatest racial, religious, ethnic and cultural diversity

We see this played out in the laboratory of life.

Places like Sweden, Japan, Norway, Denmark and Germany that were very high on racial, ethnic, religious and cultural homogeneity also were very civil and harmonious places to live.

Japan has resisted the pressure to bring third world ‘migrants’ into their island while once idealic countries like Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, France , the Netherlands and Denmark have become cesspools of civil strife , crime, violence, rape and racial division directly because they have intentionally invited and imported third world savages into their countries

The Progressive Left has used the slogan “ Diversity is our strength “

Based on extensive research from back in the day diversity is a curse and diversity a recipe for violence and civil conflict .

Diversity is not a strength for our country but it is certainly a strength for those who wish to destroy it. It is important to note that the social scientists of the Academic Left have been the main pushers of the Diversity Is Our Strenghth slogan while they are completly aware that racial, ethnic, religious and cultural diversity are the primary drivers of the types of civil strife that most destabilize a modern society

The US provided approximately $1.18 billion in aid to Somalia for fiscal year 2023, with $745.3 million for FY 2024 and $136.9 million for FY 2025, according to USAFacts.

This aid is a combination of humanitarian and security assistance, including funding for food, health, and education programs, as well as support for Somali and its African Union forces.

Breakdown of aid
Humanitarian Assistance: The US is a major donor of humanitarian aid, which includes emergency food, shelter, and health services to address issues like drought and conflict displacement.

Security Assistance: The US provides security aid to Somali and AU forces through training, equipment, and advising programs, with over $3 billion in security assistance to Somalia over the past decade, notes the Stimson Center.

Development Assistance: Funding also goes towards long-term development, such as strengthening institutions, creating jobs, and improving access to basic services like water, sanitation, and education.

Recent data
Fiscal Year 2023: The US committed about $1.18 billion in aid.
Fiscal Year 2024: $745.3 million has been reported for FY 2024.
Fiscal Year 2025: $136.9 million has been reported for FY 2025.


Additional context
The US Department of State reports that it provides assistance for a wide range of needs, from responding to crises like drought and famine to supporting economic and political stability.
The U.S. has consistently been the largest single donor of humanitarian aid for Somalia and for Somali refugees in the region, according to the U.S. Department of State.

The National Guardsmen in DC foiled a Muslim terrorist attack. Thank God Trump deployed them. How many other innocent Americans would have been killed if they weren’t there?

Yeh, I majored in Poly Sci and minored in Sociology too. And a homogenous society does tend to be a more tranquil society. I still remember when America was mostly homogeneous and it was a lot better.

IMO if we don’t expel a significant portion of the diversity and defeat this communist factor that calls itself Democrats we are headed for vicious internal strife.

President Trump is right. Get them out of this country. They’re a drain. They give nothing to this country to make it better.

You can introduce the savage to civilized society. You can dine him, clothe him, shelter him and heal him, but you can't keep him from eating his host.
