They are changing America by changing the people
The American Congress for Truth blog has posted on the Somali/Tyson’s Food controversy in Shelbyville, TN here.
Its the Emporia, Kansas story writ large with another group of Somali meat packers employed by who, why Tyson foods of course.
Please check out their coverage. We mentioned ACT the other day here.
A regional coalition of groups concerned about illegal immigration has formed according to a press release from Help Save Maryland tonight.
Anti-illegal immigrant activists from around the metropolitan area held their first meeting Wednesday night to begin work on forming a regional coalition aimed at pressuring local and state governments to cut their support of illegal immigrants next year.
______
Representatives from a dozen grassroots groups in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., attended the meeting.
______
The focus in Maryland will be on driver’s licenses, in-state tuition and day-laborer centers, said Brad Botwin of Derwood, director of the grass-roots group Help Save Maryland. He expects to draw on lessons learned by groups such as Help Save Herndon in convincing local officials to enact tighter illegal-immigrant laws.
For our local readers in the Hagerstown area, a Washington County Chapter of Help Save Maryland is forming and we will bring you more information on that as it develops.
For more information and how to join Help Save Maryland visit their website here.
Part III of the series on Somali refugees is out today at the Times-Gazette. I would like to say a few words on this later, but unfortunately with everyone home today the demand for this computer is driving me off! Part III is comprised of two articles, here and here. Read the comments while you are there!
Jerry Gordon at the American Congress for Truth blog has also been following Somali Muslim immigrant activities in several posts in recent months. (Hat tip: blulitespecial)
Here is one which quotes a Somali student leader about a special prayer room in a Minnesota college.
Then here is one about a Medicaid billing scheme run by well-connected Somali immigrants that allegedly bilked the Federal government of over $1 million.
When I searched the ACT blog for ‘Somalis’ I found those stories above and more here.
By the way, most of the Somali population in America is courtesy of the Refugee Resettlement Program of the US State Department. If you go to the ORR Annual report to Congress (2005) Appendix A you will see that we admitted 64,942 Somalis through that year and now we are admitting their families. They have also had a lot of kids since they began arriving in the early 1980’s (Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Refugee Act of 1980).
American Congress for Truth was founded by Brigitte Gabriel a brave Lebanese woman and author of “Because they Hate”, a book I highly recommend to anyone wanting to understand more about the Islamist agenda here and around the world.
The Times-Gazette of Shelbyville, TN published Part II of a five part series on the friction developing as the population of secondary migration Somali refugees grows in this town of about 20,000 (for our local readers, that’s about half the size of Hagerstown, MD). The culture clash is occuring in the school system.
Gray[Bedford County School Superintendent] also said that the school system has “very definitely” had some culture clashes with the Somalians since they have moved to Bedford County.
_____
“Out of 11 principals, five of them are female, and we have assistant principals that are female. Their lack of respect for woman causes us a major problem on the front end,” Gray said. He added that “we found it to be the case” that the Somalis have difficulties with women in supervisory roles.
_____
Gray referred to “unrealistic expectations” in one incident, where the Somalis had apparently been promised service the school system does not provide, such as child care.
_____
“We had a particular incident at one school where they had been promised it [child care] and they were demanding it,” Gray said. “They are very demanding. Their culture is absolutely different from ours and different from the Hispanics also. I can’t speak for all the Somalians, but their culture is tremendously different.”
Judging by the comments posted already at the Times-Gazette, citizens of Shelbyville are starting to boil.
I just found this link very interesting! A Somali blog is posting the Times-Gazette (Part I), “Somalis find haven” article. Humm, do you think they are advertising for Shelbyville? Better watch out Shelbyville, they might be sending more Somalis your way. Didn’t Catholic Charities Director for Tennessee, Holly Johnson, have this to say:
“…..so these folks are moving there because of the available jobs, affordable housing, welcoming community, etc.”
