St. Cloud -smallish, central and rural- looks like Little Mogadishu.

Melrose -2000 population- looks like Little Mogadishu at shift change at the turkey processing plants.

I was down in NW Arkansas/SW Missouri last week.
My SIL says the Somalis have taken over from the Mexicans at the chicken processors.
Apparently the Mexicans have learned it’s a better deal to slide over to public assistance.

Well, it looks like the Amish have moved in, committing lots of crimes, you know, like sending weapons to Nigeria. /s

Minnesota man who has a name of Mohammed!

LMAO! Gone are the days of MN’ins being just German, Swedes and Norwegians. The population pool has been tainted with these scum.

Political correctness requires that he is known as Minnesotan. He is an invader and gamed the system. And got caught. And will get a slap on the wrists.

I’m told it was the Lutherans here in Minniesoda that wanted to invite all the Somalis.

Why exactly, I haven’t figured out yet, still working on lefse and lutefisk. Strangely diverse folk, these Swedes.

I noticed that a couple of years ago when I went through NOEL, MO. Africans everywhere.

It used to be quite a vacation spot, now it is mostly chicken processing at the Hudson Plant and Africans work there now. I believe the swimming areas are still open and Shadow Lake. Definitely not the old Noel.

Not really. Many of the children of the first Mexicans brought in 45 years ago now work for that store that started on the West side of the Bentonville Square. Now, what was that business? I can’t remember! Man it is right on the tip of my tongue! Oh yeah, WALTON’S 5&10.
Others have opened their own businesses. Many are well respected here.
