The legality of today's African immigrants especially those from Somalia is questionable. I know many...most of them that I know here in Portland have immigrated to the US from Europe and NOT Somalia. You see, many of the Somalis you see here are the portion that Europe had agreed to take. Since then (whether they had been incouraged by the European governments - I don't know) they had come to the USA. Employment is the major reason they had come. I might also add that they brought over one of their wives and left the other wives back in their European country. They send money to them and I've heard of situations where some were actually claiming dependents which are not even in the US.
