"Do some research on these people, if you are not afraid to understand them."

If you had been on this forum more than a day, you'd know that one of my trade-mark postings is anthropology/archaeology and I have a decent understanding of all the world's people, past and present.

I'd be willing to bet that the neighborhoods where these social workers live are far from where the Bantus will be living. Isn't there a safe place on their home continent where the Bantus could be resettled?

These people will live longer than any of you, they can cope better with rigorous life circumstances than any of you, they will not die alone, or of diabetes, stroke and cardiac arrest like many of you.

Somali life expectancy at birth: 47.71 years

They will not over spend or over eat or be put in prison. They will not waste resources or judge you for your obesity and slothful nature. They are grateful to us and can teach us how to live our lives better and longer.

Assertion of facts not in evidence.

They are smart enough to excel in a foreign, hostile, modernized country.

Even though they were barely smart enough to survive in a native backwards country.

None of us would survive if we were dropped in Somalia.

You know this how?

These people are survivors and pose no threat to us. We would do well to learn from them.

You may be correct; they may not represent a threat, but this will be more of a learning experience for them than for us, FRiend. What would they teach us? Run when the helicoptors come? Don't stray from the water hole? Modern abdominal surgical methods?
