Somalis have made Somalia a very pleasant place to live. Between the Muslim militias shooting at each other and the amateur hyena psychiatry sessions, it’s perfect. That’s why most Somalis are getting the hell out of there and moving to other countries that they can remake into Somalia.
There are Little Mogadishus all across America, but few places have been hit as hard by Somali Muslim migrants as Maine whose generous benefits system is struggling to cope with the Somali settlers.
Lewiston Mayor Robert E. MacDonald has written sharply about the Somali welfare invasion and its impact on Maine natives.
Today in Maine our legislators make sure that money is available for those who flock to Maine, many with their GPS programmed for Lewiston, to obtain the generous welfare benefits offered by our caring Legislature. But for 3,100 of our most needy, those who cannot survive without assisted living, the funding for home- or community-based care is not available.
Then we have the asylum seekers. They come from Europe, Asia, Africa, North or South America. They obtain visas to enter our country. They must declare why they are seeking entry (education, seasonal work, etc.), and further declare that they have a place to stay, money to cover their stay and a home to go back to. Once in our country, they suddenly declare that harm will come to them if they return to their country of origin.
An investigation into their claim is initiated by the federal government. This investigation takes many months to complete. In the meantime, housing, clothing, medication, food, utilities, etc. must be paid for, as they have no money. The federal and state government will not pick up their expenses.
How do they survive? On the forced funding by local taxpayers. But no funding is available for 3,100 of our most needy.
Now Maine governor Paul LePage is trying to shut down the Somali settlers’ free lunch.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage’s administration has proposed a rule that would prevent asylum seekers from getting cash assistance.
The Republican governor’s proposal for the General Assistance program would impact new immigrants who aren’t citizens and aren’t official refugees. The state says it doesn’t know how many people would be affected.
Critics say ending funding for the program will force communities to provide basic needs for asylum seekers through soup kitchens and emergency shelters.
It might, but if they do a bad enough job of it, the Somalis might get the message and search for their promised welfare land somewhere else.
But you can’t just stop feeding stray dogs or racoons. The moment you do that, the lawsuits begin.
A legal advocacy group has warned city and state officials that a proposed rule change at the Department of Health and Human Services could cut off benefits to members of Maine’s immigrant population.
Robin Merrill, a senior policy analyst with Maine Equal Justice Partners, met with members of the Portland City Council and the legislative delegation on Monday and talked about a proposed rule change that could cause some members of the immigrant community to lose general assistance.
“This would be devastating for Portland and for Lewiston,” Merrill said.
The Somali settlements in Maine are devastating for Lewiston and all of Maine.
Maine has gone from having no gang members a few years ago to having 4,000 of them. Mainahs have gone from thinking of gang members as something they saw on COPS to something they see when they look out the window.
Vacationland now hosts the True Somali Bloods and the True Sudanese Bloods who spill each other’s blood to find out who has the truest blood of them all. In Lewiston, Somali flash mobs attack natives. In Bangor, a Somali gang is at the heart of local crime.
Somalis are slowly turning Maine into Somalia.
yes!!! please!!!
You are correct about that. GWB allowed a huge number of them in.
A country this stupid is racing toward extinction.
Catholics and their Social Justice have ruined many a good thing.
“Open the doors and invite every deadbeat Muslim in the world and they will come.”
Open the doors and invite every deadbeat Latin American and they will come.
There’s a foot washing facility in Denver, too.
Just a little foretaste of an isle of diversity coming to a location near you.
I have zero sympathy. Nada.
Please do NOT send the to Minnesota!
That’s money that doesn’t go to the poorest Americans.
Charity begins at home.
Liberals getting what they want to give everyone else- nice!
I live in the Portland area. There is a huge difference between Muslim Somalis and Christian Sudanese immigrants. We have a vibrant Sudanese community in our church. These are some of the most industrious hardworking Jesus believing wonderful people you would ever meet.
What is it about airports that attracts Muzzies ?
Ummm the planes?
So glad I live in South Carolina. Beard-and-burka muzzies are occasionally seen here but their numbers are far, far below critical mass & they either perceive or already know that the Palmetto State is swarming with Bible thumping heavily armed rednecks many of whom are either OIF/OEF vets or have them as relatives.

I live in Maine; Bob MacDonald is one of my best friends. This article is a complete LIE. In the last election, Bob crushed his far left opponent and did it with a substantial majority of SOMALI VOTES! The Somalis claim a far smaller percentage of welfare benefits than their percentage of the population. MacDonald is talking about asylum seekers, not refugees. Asylum seekers, the vast, vast majority of whom are not Somalis (right now it’s Angolans)do show up here and immediately go on the dole. Maine is one of the few states which provide relief to asylum seekers. It’s going to stop.
As for the Somalis, well, as a group they have been model citizens. We almost never see them in court except for petty stuff. There have been some welfare crooks among them, but not many. Their kids graduate from High School at a higher rate than the American kids. In fact, they have raised the graduation rate at the high school almost 20 percent!
We are doing fine here. We are not turning into Somalia or any other sort of Mohamedan dog vomitstan. Our economy is growing. The last thing we appreciate is for some clown from away like Greenfield and his rag to defame us for his own cheap political agenda!
Social engineering and the voter base
Google: blue zone ikaria ....and go to videos.

They’re good for something (if you are a democrat):
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two volunteer poll workers at an Ohio voting station told Human Events that they observed van loads of Ohio residents born in Somalia — the state is home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States — being driven to the voting station and guided by Democratic interpreters on the voting process. No Republican interpreters were present, according to these volunteers.

Whew, I thought I was the only one who noticed. Any major airport is swarming with immigrants and hijabs. It’s almost as if airports are required to hire at least 90% immigrants and “people of color.” Actually they probably are required by political correct codes of the TSA and feds to get us racist whites use to seeing diversity and not “profile” (shudder the thought of a muslim terrorist) at airports.
