Who is reloacting all these people ?
As far as I know, public assistance figures aren’t broken down by religion. When I lived in SW Montana in the late 80s locals were dying to confirm their suspicions that Church Universal and Triumphant members were getting welfare. Couldn’t be done.
There are a lot of Somalis in Seattle, and I have to admit being concerned, though I don’t like jumping to conclusions. If the women are wearing burkas, they aren’t Christian, right? A lot of people from African countries work in nursing homes, elder care, that type of thing. I don’t know which African countries, though. They certainly aren’t all layabouts. Also you never see women in burkas in Everett, only Seattle
Simple reason you see immigrants at airports—a lot drive cabs.
I think the Bushes are the main force behind the Somalis being here and teaching them how to game the welfare system.
They pride themselves on their ability as con artists and laugh about the gullibility of Americans. In Minnesota “Niceness” is the highest civic virtue and blinds a majority of natives to reality.
They are a verminous cancer, and should be treated like cancer.
Maine, just put them on a bus for San Francisco and tell them to look up a Mrs. Pelosi who will be glad to give them a generous handout. Tell them the weather is a lot nicer there in the winter, too.
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 its Angolans)do show up here and immediately go on the dole. Maine is one of the few states which provide relief to asylum seekers. Its 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!

I live in Maine too and you are dreaming. You a social services contractor to the Somali and their gangs who have devastated Lewiston?
“Why do we allow people into this country who have absolutely nothing to contribute? There already 300 million people here. We can be a little more selective now.”
I’d imagine that as long as the 2 biggest markets (India and Red China) have over a billion people each we’ll stop importing people when we reach the same population.
In my area (northern NJ) they would gladly take these Somalis in just to keep the public school teachers employed and housing occupied (consequences be damned). We already have 3 billion illegal Hispanics and assorted Asians here in NJ.../s
“Any of course, just as in senile old England, the welfare state immediately begins sending them tax-payer gouged checks so they can hate us in comfort. We are doomed.”
It is worse than you think; the welfare rolls explode exponentially due to the de facto polygamy Muslims practice here in the US. A few years ago there was a house fire (I believe in the Bronx) in which assorted women and children died; it turned out that this 3-family home was rented by an African Muslim who kept a wife in each apartment (with their respective children).
A Lebanese Christian explained how this dynamic skewed Lebanon’s demographics so quickly (leading to the civil war in which the Muslims triumphed).
“I live in Maine too and you are dreaming. You a social services contractor to the Somali and their gangs who have devastated Lewiston?”
You don’t live in Lewiston and clearly don’t know the Mayor or the Somali immigrant situation here. There are no “gangs” devastating Lewiston. There were a group of punk kids, Somali and home growns, breaking into a few houses and some buildings at Bates stealing computers. They got caught. A few years back there were some junior high Somali kids who accosted 4 or 5 people in the park at night. The PD quickly “took care of the problem”.
Lewiston’s trouble comes from the fat white women who move here from the country towns for welfare, to act as mules for the American drug dealers from the south and west of us and breed their illegitimate spawn while handing us the bill. The Somalis don’t do that.
Oh, and no, as anyone who has dealt with me over the years on FR knows, I am most certainly NOT a social services contractor for any Mohammedans. Unlike the overwhelming majority of Freepers, my family lived under the heel of the Mohammedan Turks for 400 years. My bedtime stories were about the Turkokratia and the boogie man was a Turk! I know all about Georgie Bush’s ROP so it’s unlikely I’ll be fooled.
So much for the liberal notion of the “noble savage”.
“As far as I know, public assistance figures arent broken down by religion.”
They are not, but Lewiston is a small place and Somali names are a dead give away! No Smith, Jones or Papastathopoulos in that community!
Many African women wear what appear to be burkhas, Ethiopians for example, who are very, very Christian, or Eritreans. I know, I go to church with them. Christian women throughout the East cover their heads.
bkmk
Put them in a cab and send them to a convent. :^D
I use to love Maine, used to be a great state.
