Somali and Bantu migration[edit]
History of the Somalis and Bantus in Maine
In 1999, the United States government began preparations to resettle an estimated 12,000 refugees from the Bantu minority ethnic group in Somalia to select cities throughout the United States. Most of the early arrivals in the United States settled in Clarkston, Georgia, a city adjacent to Atlanta. However, they were mostly assigned to low rent, poverty-stricken inner city areas, so many began to look to resettle elsewhere in the U.S.[30]
Word soon spread that Lewiston had a low crime rate, good schools and cheap housing.[31] Somalis subsequently began a secondary migration from other states to the former mill town, and after 2005, many Bantus followed suit.[30]
In October 2002, then-Mayor Laurier T. Raymond wrote an open letter addressed to leaders of the Somali community, predicting a negative impact on the city's social services and requesting that they discourage further relocation to Lewiston.[31] The letter angered some persons and prompted some community leaders and residents to speak out against the mayor, drawing national attention. Demonstrations were held in Lewiston, both by those who supported the immigrants’ presence and those who opposed it.[32]
In January 2003, about 32 members of a white supremacist group from Illinois demonstrated in Lewiston to denounce Somali immigrants.[33] This prompted a simultaneous counter-demonstration on the campus of Bates College to demonstrate support of the Somali community.[33] The rally repudiating the white supremacists attracted 4,000 attendees, including governor John Baldacci, Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins and other officials.[33] Mayor Raymond was reportedly out of town on vacation on the day of the protests.[33]
In August 2010, the Lewiston Sun Journal reported that Somali entrepreneurs had helped reinvigorate downtown Lewiston by opening shops in previously closed storefronts. Amicable relations were also reported by the local Franco-American merchants and the Somali storekeepers.[34]
Somali-American players contributed to the Lewiston High School boys soccer team's state championship wins in 2015 and 2017[35][36] under coach Mike McGraw.
Well, at least the Vietnamese that we let in got educations and are hard working. I don’t hold out much hope that the skinnies will ever do much but collect welfare and produce more skinnies.
I read the Article and the first thing that came to mind was if everyone that was being overrun was armed this would have been a very short incident. If nothing else a 2’ long x 3/4” piece of galvanized pipe that just happened to come in contact with some knees and throats would have slowed down the terrorscumsomhzzies and maybe even stopped a few.
This $&!t needs to stop. I think the time has come and if not it’s VERY CLOSE to time to kick off CW2- The Retaking of USA.
If “disaster” means Amnesty and massive LEGAL immigration, you forgot a couple names....
Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
The Reagan Amnesty gave legal status to almost 3 million illegals.
After the 1986 Amnesty, the number of illegal immigrants grew to 12 million (Census Estimate) by 2005, at which point George W. Bush and future presidential candidate John McCain tried to give them Amnesty, too!
Even the Geller report has no coverage age of this. Pam Geller is usually the go to place for Islamic news.
Thank goodness no one in the current administration has allowed... how many Syrian rapefugees. It’s zero right. We are shaved.. is this where I insert BOOM?
Check out the very interesting non-denial denial by the local constabulary...

Evacuation.
Snort.
Time to deport these animals - and I insulted animals. Islam is not for the West...
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Conservaitves with Christian values are the enemy of everyone. Destroying them is the goal. The ends justify the means to the socialist media.
Ask the Democrats and wacko judges how is the Moslem thing working out for them?
.308 trumps mean every day of the week. BLOAT!
Dubya the Muzziefellator and Omoeba.
Minneapolis Pretending to be Sweden.

importing these people alone will eventually bring our natonal Iq down to 90.
They should have to take them home with them.
““You trying to run us over? Don’t think I won’t smash out your windows you dumb bitch!”
And that’s when one pulls a gun and aims it at the somali goat humper’s head saying that “you take a swing, I canoe your head.”
“Well, at least the Vietnamese that we let in got educations and are hard working.”
That is true. One of the ones who made it out on the last plane out of Vietnam is now an engineer for Lockheed Martin working on the C-130.
