The Somalis were brought here as refugees, paid for by US taxpayers, and they targeted Lewiston for its welfare benefits and low crime rates. He'd be a racist and a bigot if he called in the National Guard to evict these freeloaders. Until the kaht chewing ranger killer's are moved to Westchester county in New York, I may still dislike the islamists. Of course they could move them 20 miles north of Fort Kent, I am sure they would be welcomed there. Of Course you could always find there social club and start playing BlackHawk Down 24 hours a day, on the outside of the building. Although I will bet my house that their is a non Somali agitator behind all of this. The Somalis are entitled to move anywhere they want, dontcha know? We are obligated to accept them, even if they drive us to the brink of bankruptcy. It should be instantly recognized and instantly answered whenever it is encountered. I am also sure that some of them are far from admirable. Americans have a right to preserve the character of their communities. That includes the culture, lines of descent and lineage--and that means race and ethnicity. The politically correct crowd has tried to create a new bastardized cultural norm, where anyone who even tells an ethnic joke at a party is ostracized and treated as a pariah. What rational men and women should be doing, however, is ostracizing those who have so little common sense, that they consider it "bigoted" for people simply seeking to preserve social and cultural continuity. Stop tolerating the Leftists who seek to destroy everything your ancestors strove for!

Here they think they deserve something special on my ticket. Right wing militants, left wing administration, Chinese Governor of Rhode Island, etc. For years Maine has been veering to the Left, a large part of which journey involves vastly increasing welfare roles for the lazy and unskilled. When Liberal policies bankrupt you, suddenly, they don't seem so attractive anymore. And with adults now in charge of both Congress and the White House, Maine is going to get to sautee' in its own juices for a while. Look for a big change in who's elected in Maine in 2004 and 2006. It could join their bankrupt, Socialist (redundant, I know) Maritime Provinces. All Maine was ever good for was deer-hunting in the Fall- Even when I used to go hunting there, I thought the locals were pretty much 100% smug jerks- and worse. Millions more "refugees" may be eligible for resettlement in your neighborhood. This has been clear to anyone living in California since the 1970s. Back then I remember talking with people who lived out of state about the changes that were being wrought by immigration, both legal and illegal, to California from countries of the Third World. No one could quite believe that the changes were as drastic and far-reaching as I described. Those who did not thought that what I described was peculiar to California. What began in California thirty years ago is now happening everywhere. I would like to say that I take a perverse delight in having reality smack those nonbelievers in the face. The America that I love, the America that I joined the Marine Corps to defend, the America of my ancestors, is being destroyed. The latest community to enjoy the delights of Third World mass immigration is Lewiston, Maine, which, since February 2001, has been the destination for hundreds of Somali Muslims. The first Muslim to arrive in the town actually got there in May 1965, but his stay was brief. The year before, as Cassius Clay, he took Liston's crown in a bizarre seven-round battle in Miami that saw the dreaded Liston, a 7-1 favorite, quit while sitting on his stool. Between fights Clay converted to Islam and adopted the name Muhammad Ali. He won his second fight with Liston, a 7-5 favorite this time, in an equally bizarre one-round match. Lewiston, a former mill town of 36,000 on the Androscoggin River, was virtually all white when the federal census was taken in 2000. No other nonwhite group accounted for more than a fraction of a percent. With the mills shut down and a less than robust economy, it would seem an unlikely place for Somalis to flock to. Nonetheless, upwards of 2,000 have already done so, and more are on the way. The problem goes back to the Refugee Act of 1980, which amended the Immigration and Nationality Act and changed a traditional American policy of favoring refugees from Communist countries. The Refugee Act also provided for both a regular flow and the emergency admission of refugees as well as federal monies for their resettlement. In 1999, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) declared the Somali Bantu "refugees," and the United States agreed to resettle them. The ancestral home of these particular Bantu was Tanzania, but Arab slave traders took them to Somalia during the 18th and 19th centuries. Despite the end of slavery during the 20th century, the transplanted Bantu remained less than equal in Somalia. When civil war erupted with the overthrow of the dictator Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991, they fell prey to various warlords. Mostly lacking arms themselves, they were dispossessed of their land and property by whatever faction temporarily took power. Eventually, more than 12,000 of the Somali Bantu crossed into Kenya and settled in a UN sponsored refugee camp at Dadaab in eastern Kenya, where more than 100,000 other Somali had also fled. Logic would suggest that these 12,000 black, African Muslims be resettled in their former homeland, the black, African nation of Tanzania, which is more than a third Muslim and borders Kenya, instead of being transported thousands of miles to the United States. Most of the early arrivals in the United States settled in Clarkston, next-door to Atlanta, but problems quickly developed with local blacks who, the Somali contend, preyed on them. A few Somali had problems with another form of American diversity. Mohammed Abdi said that he was resettled north of Atlanta in a "war zone" between Vietnamese and Mexican gangs. Moreover, Somalis soon learned that welfare benefits and public housing were more generous and better elsewhere, especially in New England. By February 2001, they had discovered Lewiston, and the influx began. The numbers of those arriving accelerated last summer, exceeding 100 a month. Although it is difficult to get an exact fix on the figures, it seems that more than half of all Somalis in Lewiston are on the dole. Welfare spending has more than doubled since their arrival. One of the Somalis who has a job is Abdiaziz Ali, a 31-year-old father of five who arrived in Lewiston last year. He greets new arrivals, puts them on welfare, and finds them housing. He is happy to be in Lewiston, where benefits are substantial, schools good, and crime low. Mohammed Maye, the president of the African Community and Refugee Center in Clarkston, has a map of Lewiston on the wall of his office. Lewiston provides welfare to anyone in need, and the state picks up half the tab. Recipients are allowed a generous five years of assistance before benefits are terminated, and, even at that point, extensions are not difficult to obtain. Public housing is also available, although, because of the influx of Somalis, there is now a waiting list. More than a third of the apartments at Hillview, Lewiston's largest public housing project, are occupied by Somalis, many of them single mothers with large broods of children. The fathers are unaccounted for or still in Georgia or Africa. Those who are unable to obtain public housing are eligible for Section 8 vouchers, which the federal government provides to subsidize rental of private housing. Just where all the Somalis will eventually be employed is a mystery. The mills of Lewiston, once upon a time, produced a quarter of all American textiles. Across the Androscoggin River, the factories of Auburn turned out shoes by the thousands. Li...
