As of March 31, we were 6 months into the 2016 fiscal year which began on Oct. 1, 2015.
Since you all were interested in the Syrian numbers so far I thought I should update you on the Somali migration to America. But, first check out my post of September 2008 where I chronicled over 30 years of Somali resettlement to America. Notice that the highest resettlement years occurred in the Bush Administration.
I want to make the point again—once the UN and the US State Department get rolling on a specific ethnic group, the flow into America continues for decades! A reporter asked me the other day: if we blow up a place, aren’t we responsible for the people? We didn’t blow up Somalia, so why are we responsible for their mass importation to America?
As of the end of 2015 we have admitted 127,337 Somalis through the Refugee Admissions Program. This figure does not include successful asylum seekers or those in the US illegally. Do we continue taking Somalis for decades to come?
This year FY2016 we are on target for 9,000!
Checking the State Department data, I see we admitted 4,521 Somalis in the first half of FY2016. Here is where they went:
Here are the top ten states for Somali Muslim resettlement:
Minnesota (563)***
New York (410)
Arizona (301)
Ohio (292)
Texas (276)
Pennsylvania (222)
Washington (214)
Massachusetts (211)
Missouri (204)
California (176)
*** If you are thinking a much higher number is coming to Minnesota, you are probably right. If you go to page 16 in a recent ORR “Key Indicators,”you will see that Minnesota, by a whopping margin (thousands!), gets the most ‘secondary migrants.’ That means that when resettled elsewhere, the Somalis are almost immediately high-tailing it to MN to be with their own kind of people.
So, this is one of the joys that diversity brings “welcoming” communities. Take heart, this one is dead. (But he left 9 kids and several wives here for you to take care of!)
Of course, readers here know that Minnesota is the top resettlement state for Somali Muslims.
And now, we learn here at the Washington Times, that one in four “Americans” who have gone to join jihadists elsewhere in the world hail from refugee-rich Minnesota.
We raised these Somali ‘youths’ with our money (taxpayer dollars) and this is what we get! Washington Times:
A group of hackers loyal to the Islamic State terrorist group have reportedly posted a “kill list” with the names and personal details of 36 policemen in Minnesota.
The list, published by the “Caliphate Cyber Army” on the encrypted mobile app Telegram, includes full names, home addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of all the policemen, according to Vocativ.
The cops reportedly live in cities across Minnesota, but the majority are located in and around the Twin Cities.
Minnesota has a large population of Somali immigrants, with the Cedar Riverside community in Minneapolis housing the largest Somali community in the country. Since 2007, two dozen men from the Cedar Riverside community have left to join extremist groups.
A congressional report from last November said one in four Americans who has attempted to join the Islamic State group is from Minnesota.
We have a gigantic archive of posts on Somalis and Minnesota, use our search function to find them. But, be sure to see this one—10,000 Somalis resettled in Minnesota in ten years.
Update February 16th: Original reports may have been inaccurate about the machete man’s nationality, see more here. …..If it walks like a duck! I’m assuming that by now most of you with concerns about the large number of Muslim refugees being admitted into the US have seen the news.
It took awhile for the slasher’s (the “hater’s”) name to be released and I suspect that is because one of his names happens to be Mohamed. And, although mainstream media (like CNN) will probably never use the word “refugee” in a news story, (CNN said he was a “lone wolf”), I’m pleased to see that internet news is using the ‘R’ word. Almost all of the hundreds of thousands of Somalis in the US are refugees admitted to the US through the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program or their children (there are now many generations in the last three plus decades!).
Way back in 2008 we wrote a post where we had researched each year of State Department/ORR records to show readers how many Somalis were resettled each year since the 1980s. See that post here.
It is no surprise that this happened in Columbus, which is hosting the second largest Somali population in America (behind Minneapolis). We have many posts on Columbus, click here for more reading pleasure. And, you can bet that Governor John Kasich has never once questioned why Ohio is being overloaded with Somalis.
Four of nine major resettlement contractors are working to colonize Columbus: Church World Service, Episcopal Migration Ministries, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and World Relief/Evangelicals (scroll down to Ohio, here). For new readers, don’t be so shocked that YES, the Somali Muslims are being resettled by supposedly Christian and Jewish organizations.
I did a little numbers research and Yikes! we admitted 43,653 Somalis to the US JUST SINCE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE! So while we are freaking out about Syrians we should be having heart attacks over this vast number of Somalis because you know they can’t be any better “vetted” than Syrians! Here is where the 43,653 were resettled since January 1, 2009 (up to January 1, 2016). Of the 2,476 who went to Ohio, 2,118 went to Columbus in just the last seven years!
Now here is one of many stories about the Ohio Somali refugee machete man.
While the President visits mosques, scolds Americans and continues to parrot his own ideas about Islam and extremism, a Muslim Somali refugee launched a bloody attack on the unsuspecting diners at a Columbus, Ohio, restaurant owned by a Christian Arab who immigrated from Israel.
[….]
The restaurant where the carnage happened is owned by an Israeli Christian. Sure looks like an Islamic terror attack to me!
The Somali man had calmly entered the eatery, the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant, pulled out a machete and began to arbitrarily slash patrons. “He came to each table and just started hitting them,” Carol Bass, one of the witnesses, told a reporter from the local CBS TV affiliate. “There was a man (laying) on the [restaurant’s floor] bleeding. [T]here was blood on the floor. It was awful. It… was carnage.”
Four people were wounded in the machete attack, one critically, according to the local police officers responding to the attack, which has not yet been classified a terrorist attack. “Police officers are loathe to describe anything as a terrorist attack. That’s the unwritten regulation when it involves a suspect from the Middle East. The suspect is a Muslim, he’s from a country that’s practically run by an Islamic terrorist group — in Somalia it’s probably Al-Shabaab — and he attacks a public facility such as a shopping mall or a restaurant and no one wants to call it terrorism. At least until President [Barack] Obama says so,” claims former counter-terrorism unit police officer John Roger Langdon.
Senators Sessions and Cruz want the Obama Administration to stop covering up arrests of Muslims!
In fact, Langdon noted that Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, recently sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch calling on the administration to stop covering up the arrests of Muslim jihadists within the U.S. The senators’ letter states that since early 2014 there have been 113 arrests of Muslims implicated in terrorist activity on U.S. soil and the Obama administration refuses to provide an immigration history on any of them.
Sens. Sessions and Cruz also mention in their letter that most of the cases involving radical Muslims have received little or no coverage in the national media as a result of blind support to the President or being ensnared in the political-correctness orthodoxy..
The targeted restaurant’s owner, Hany Baransi, who is identified by cops as a Christian Arab from Israel, said he had not taken a day off since Jan. 2 but took off Thursday night because of a migraine headache. He is a proud Israeli citizen who flies the Israeli flag in his restaurant.
Be sure to see my newest post at American Resistance 2016! Someone needs to take on the mission of exposing every move LSS of Minnesota is making, including figuring out how their income is going to skyrocket to $123 million this year. Click hereto learn more.
As we focus on Syrians, let’s not forget the Somalis!
Ho hum! We have been following the ‘careers’ of the Somali “youths,” here referred to as “children,” since 2008 (see early posts by clicking here) when we first learned about Somali refugees thumbing their noses at the good life we gave them in America and choosing a future instead of violent jihad.
And, it is unbelievable to me that those promoting bringing in 65,000-100,000 mostly Muslim Syrians think that somehow this will not continue to happen.
Here is the news on one of the latest cases, from the Minneapolis Star Tribune: One of the “children” who plead guilty.
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota man admitted Thursday that he planned to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group, saying he believed joining the violent terrorist organization would help his fellow Muslims.
Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, 20, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group. He admitted that he and eight other men met 10 to 15 times in local mosques, parks and restaurants to talk about routes to Syria and how to finance their trip.
He faces up to 15 years in prison at sentencing, which hasn’t been scheduled.
Abdurahman is the third Minnesota man to plead guilty in connection with planning travel to Syria. Five others face a February trial.
Authorities have described the men from Minnesota’s Somali community as friends who recruited and inspired each other. Prosecutors say the men were advised from overseas by Abdi Nur, another Minnesota man who went to Syria in May 2014.
[….]
He also said he watched English-language jihadist videos on YouTube, Twitter and other social media outlets, and wanted to join the Islamic State group even though he knew it carried out beheadings and burned prisoners.
Just children!
Ayan Abdurahman said after her son’s hearing that she was “very sad” and that he and others like him are just children.
“He’s very young,” she said, speaking in broken English. “… I asking the American government they have to treat these as children. They make mistake.”
How many of you agree with me? Just let the “youths” leave the country, take away their passports, and don’t let them come back. Under the present system, we taxpayers get hosed again! We will pay for this man’s prison term! Lucky us!
Are we ever going to stop bringing in Somali ‘refugees’?
We have been focusing on the question of how many Syrian Muslim refugees will be admitted to the US going forward, but always remember we have admitted Somali ‘refugees’ for three decades and there is no end in sight(this is even though the UN is now sending Somalis back to a more stable Somalia from its camps in Kenya).
Once the pipeline is open it never ends!
Go hereto a post I wrote years ago and see that we have admitted well over 100,000 Somalis to the US and they were frankly as equally unable to be screened for security as are the Syrians. But, maybe more importantly, note that the magic melting pot DID NOT WORK and the next generation is becoming the terrorists that there parents were not! Anchorage gets a mosque thanks in part to growth in Muslim refugee population.
Just checked theRefugee Processing data base, and here is what I find: As of August 31, we have admitted another 7,642 Somalis to the US! The number, when the year ends in less than two weeks, will likely come very close to 9,000 (which is the number we brought last year).
And here (below) is where they went. They went to many more states than I’ve listed here. These are the states that “welcomed” more than 100 to the state’s welfare rolls. Although not over 100, I also want to note that Alaska got 64 Somalis to add to their mosque-going population.
The number in parenthesis is the number of Somalis resettled in the state in FY2015. Top five Somali states in red (these state will probably continue to lead the pack because the contractors will be bringing in their family members):
Arizona (562)
California (239)
Colorado (165)
Connecticut (105)
Georgia (233)
Idaho (91)
Kentucky (333)
Maine (181)
Massachusetts (271)
Minnesota (911) And, MN gets around 2,000 additional a year who move in from elsewhere in the US
