Just food for thought for those of you who might receive new neighbors soon.

Say, Madfly, have you seen this?

I thought the fact sheet posted the list of cities. I'll see if I can go back and find them.

Whooo-Hoooo...!!!! MOre immigrants! That's what we need right now in our current condition....yessir.....


Bring 'em on, we need all the warm bodies we can get....

[/sarcasm off]

[madfly]

Discouraging news.

[happygrl]

Female circumcision is also common

Not here.

The Lost Boys fron the Sudan were Christians, not Muslims as these are.

They didn't bring their large families with them, but came here as single persecuted people.

What, there is nowhere in the Muslim world that they can find a homeland ? Oh yeah, Muslims don't do that: see Palestininas.

They belong in one place and one place only.

The destruction of the American middle class continues, thanks to our elected "representatives". Meanwhile, the rest of us working stiffs have to foot the bill for more of these freebies that will be gobbled down by more of these new and ever-breeding freeloaders. It's only a matter of time until we have a 70% income tax to pay for all this insanity...Just another day when the Government pees on our head and tells us it's raining.

Our Founding Fathers must be looking down at us from above and weeping rivers.

Hey, I'm optimistic. Its possible this'll be the very first such mass resettlement where the beneficiaries don't immediately become wards of the taxpayer.

If they do, well, oops.

[Ben Ficklin]

Bringing in the the Bantus is definately the end of Western Civilization.

[F16Fighter]

Once again we have agents our own U.S. government giving the middle-finger to those of us who question the wisdom of superceding the will of the American people by flooding it's borders exclusively with great numbers of Third World immigrants who create security issues, burden it's taxpayer, while encouraging native heritages and cultures.

America is being hijacked every which way and all the Bush Administration does is twiddle their thumbs.

[Dante3]

Just what we need! And let's not forget to keep bringing in more of bin Laden's followers and Hussein's buddies. Really, we DO NOT NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS. WE ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE. HOW WILL THESE PEOPLE MAKE THIS A BETTER COUNTRY?

[SheLion]

Oh sure. Maine is one of the first!

Since 1965 immigration has been  85% from 3rd world nations. If you include illegal immigration it's even worse. For the next 30 years the numbers should be reversed. Make the numbers 70% from East and West Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan etc. and 30% from the 3rd world but only educated ones who can speak English. All prospective immigrants must know at least basic English and musts sign a promise to take English courses to take them up to 6th grade level or be expelled.

There are huge numbers in  East Europe that would love to immigrate here. Give them a shot! Let white farmers from Zimbabwe come here!

I do not believe that we should allow the Somalis into the U.S. This country is always considered to be the "Big-Bully" of the world and this may be partially true but, we did not cause the refugee problem. We cannot afford the 12,000 Somalis on top of our ever increasing poverty level and unemployment rate. We are not the country of origin of these people and we are not responsible for all of the down trodden groups in the world. I am not willing to make allowances for these people to pay for the basic life skills that they do not have. I am not willing to give them an education better than the education I can afford for my children. I am not willing to be politically correct in my own country as to not hurt the image of these people. The United States must stand for the People of the UNITED STATES and not those that are a problem created by countries on a regular basis that are not held responsible by the U.N. The countries that caused this problem should have to repair this problem. Why should we bring a group of people into our society that are, by no fault of ours displaced from their country? Why is is the U.S. that has to be the good guy? The United Nations should grow up and sanction those countries that are responsible for the Somali situation and stop looking for the U.S. to be the welfare of the world!
Potential problems:
Political unrest.
Higher taxes.
Higher unemployment rate.
The U.S. should take care of its own, not the refugees of the rest of the world.
