I guess I just don't get it.

When you read these articles none of the refugees ever talk about the benefit they will bring to the community in terms of their skills, education, and abilities that will contribute to the area. If they are moving to a place like Lewiston, shouldn't they be able to educate their new neighbors how their presence will benefit the community and enhance peoples' lives?

Oh, you mean they aren't bringing anything positive with them in the move? They're simply looking for what they can get out of the place?

Can't imagine why the locals wouldn't be thrilled to have them there. After all, it certainly won't cost them anything and Lewiston has to be a veritable boom town.

Poor Somalis. People here in the US just don't understand.

Just an FYI: one girl went to the shelter to get diaper's for her baby. The Somali women beat her to it, and cleaned out every last diaper. What does this tell you!

Yes, if diversity is richening, as I am told, then Lewiston must be rich beyond measure. The Somalis are only there to build a great nation. Oh, the great nation was built in 1791? Well it's way past that now.

If they have so much to contribute, why don't they organize themselves (Give them weapons) and go back to Somalia and free it from the warlords?
