If you'd been following the stories since this first started you'd know that the Somali elders openly stated in the newspapers that they came here specifically because Maine offers some of the best and easiest welfare conditions in the country.
Either that or you forgot to close your sarcasm tags.
Maine: one of the poorest and highest taxed states in the Union. ~sigh
metesky, remember the one young Somali saying that the winters in Maine sucked, but the WELFARE was GREAT. gag...........
