The Somali immigrant challenge
By Peter Olsson and Lt. Colonel Laurence Messner
Thispast weekend, Michael Dorgan of Fox News devoted an episode to Minnesota's "Little Mogadishu,"America's largest Somali community. The rapidly expanding Muslim population in Minneapolis has become a focus of intense national debate over immigration and welfare fraud. Dorgan observes how the Somalian population is reshaping the state’s historically Scandinavian, Christian cultural landscape.
President Donald Trump blasted Somali Minnesotans as welfare abusers who have been raiding state coffers for years. Says President Trump, "I hear they ripped off -- Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions every year... They contribute nothing," Trump said, amid news that some Somalis were involved in bilking that state out of hundreds of millions of dollars in various fraud schemes. Never timid politically, Trump is blunt in his defiant, politically incorrect truth-telling.
In a must-read speech by Geert Wilders, the newly elected Prime Minister of the Netherlands said, “In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: "Who lost Europe”? Wilders went on, “I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, but it is also a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.”
