LOL
Maine voted for Obama twice!
Kind of serves them right
Not to worry.
Once Trump puts his people in charge of ICE, the Somalis will wish the Gestapo was after them instead.
I keep wondering if the pendulum is finally swinging back....
The PTB in the town where I live are forever dreaming up schemes to “increase the tax base” by inducing gubmint program recipients to move in. The natives shoot ‘em down every time.
More likely Trump will pay for their airfare and housing like one of his clubs in Florida. The only difference is they will speak Bulgarian.
In 2010 after the federal government backed Somali invasion the black population jumped to 3,174 - an increase of almost 90%.
You might want to recompute. Either one of your population figures is off or your percentage is really off.
Not just illegals. Plants like this usually bring in Somali refugees and other Muslim refugees. Who wants all these unsavory Muslims in your small town?
Wow, never saw that before! I wonder if it will ever be possible to cauterize this flow.
But the new workers in town would be “wonderful” Somali muslims, and illegals from Latin American origins, and they would bring amazing benefits.
How could they not want that?
Mexicans or Somali or both.
They already have
Even with President Trump?
At least they are not Syrian and Somali jihadis - Cruz’s preferred “immigrants”
I’ve read about Lewiston, Maine. Not really an American city anymore.
Good on the town council! In the 1990s, a huge beef processing plant, employing 1,500, opened in Brooks, AB, an oil town of 9,500 people. The company, XL Foods, wanted town council to push for development of apartments, so immigrants could live in town and work at the plant. No dice. Instead, XL Foods had to bus in workers (mostly Somali and Filipino) from Medicine Hat, a city of 44,000, 70 miles away.
Eventually, Town Council gave in and zoned for apartment buildings for the packing plant employees. Now the plant has 2,000 employees, Brooks has grown to 15,000 (about 1,400 Somalis) and Medicine Hat is now 60,000. Brooks is a little less ‘oil patch rough’ than 25 years ago, but has a higher crime rate, along with a mosque, not that Somali muslims have ANYTHING to do with crime anywhere!
We are going to run out of places to relocate to. It’s a shame.
Effing Lutherans
That’s a shame. Why are we letting this happen?
The tens upon thousands of Somalis that Bush rolled out the red carpet for are perfectly legal.
What’s the difference besides skin color?
There are close to 7000 refugees in Lewiston almost 1/4 the population
