The majority came from Atlanta, as Maine shows higher rate of employment than other states. Although many have started small businesses and entered into the workplace, others are seen hanging out in front of a local convenience store.

After the letter to the Somali by the Mayor attracting national media attention, hate groups have entered the city trying to build up membership. A recent rally in their defense,attracted Maine politicians. Pro-Somali way outnumbered the hate groups. In checking out one of of their websites..they dwell "predominately" on hatred for the Jews.

Maine is 97% white.

If you'd been following the stories since this first started you'd know that the Somali elders openly stated in the newspapers that they came here specifically because Maine offers some of the best and easiest welfare conditions in the country.

Either that or you forgot to close your sarcasm tags.

Not exactly:

"Mohammed Maye, the president of the African Community and Refugee Center in Clarkston, has a map of Lewiston on the wall of his office. “Go to Maine,” he advises Somalis. He has recently opened a second office in Lewiston. Abdullahi Abdullahi, the president of the Somali Community Development Organization in Clarkston, tells Somalis that, unlike Georgia, Maine has terribly cold winters, but “the welfare system is better.”
