Some Somalis have even moved out of Lewiston in the last few months, according to community leaders in St. Paul and Atlanta.
Does this mean there won't be a slaughterhouse for their goats and our farmers starting to raise their goat meat?
She said she regularly endures curses and insults from neighbors but still feels safe because she's confident police will protect her.
Oh! But "I" thought they were blaming it on the Mayor's LETTER?!
The sense of fear is greater among elderly members of the Somali community, many of whom speak little English, said Roda Abdi
Are they going to learn to speak ENGLISH???

Don't you just love how people nowhere near the situation are telling the mayor how to run his city?

I guess I just don't get it.
When you read these articles none of the refugees ever talk about the benefit they will bring to the community in terms of their skills, education, and abilities that will contribute to the area. If they are moving to a place like Lewiston, shouldn't they be able to educate their new neighbors how their presence will benefit the community and enhance peoples' lives?
Oh, you mean they aren't bringing anything positive with them in the move? They're simply looking for what they can get out of the place?
Can't imagine why the locals wouldn't be thrilled to have them there. After all, it certainly won't cost them anything and Lewiston has to be a veritable boom town.
Poor Somalis. People here in the US just don't understand.

What she didn't mention is Maine is a right to carry state and she is carrying concealed.

Since when does the mayor of Lewiston check *his* right to free speech at the door? He is perfectly justified in speaking his mind about no new Somali immigration to his city. Of course the federal government can continue to resettle the Somalis there, but this is an example of the typical leftist tactic to *shut people up.* I'm glad someone out there has a spine & knows what it's for.

Maybe they're discovering the true meaning of W-I-N-T-E-R. Brrrrr.

If thousands of African moslems are just wonderful for any community in America, why not tens of millions spread out over thousands of communities in America?
