@wakeupusa It is not the responsibility of any nation to welcome people who wish to immigrate there by forcing their people to conform to those immigrants' religious beliefs or preferences. If you want a government which does that, go elsewhere. We'll all be happier in that case.
@its_The_Dr Get earplugs. It is not the responsibility of the USA to welcome people who wish to immigrate here by forcing our people to conform to those immigrants' religious beliefs or preferences. If you want a government which does that, go elsewhere. We'll all be happier in that case.
@TrumpsHurricane It is not the responsibility of 'the West' to welcome people who wish to come here by forcing our people to conform to those immigrants' religious beliefs or preferences. If you want a government which does that, go elsewhere. We'll all be happier in that case.
@Pixie1z Democratic politicians think that every other Democrat is extremely incompetent and unable to recognize the insults they offer to their potential voters' abilities. I don't think that's going to prove to be a good tactic, but they will be themselves.
@RVilleford @otokyo__ Given that Somalia is generally considered a fragile state rather than a "failed state", showing signs of progress while still facing extreme instability, it's a legit question. Of course, much of the stolen funds were spent here in the USA (fancy cars, real estate, etc.).
@otokyo__ Yes, and flourish! IMO, there is strong evidence that the benefits from Somali immigration are marginal and the negative impacts are significant. The issue deserves further study, as the negative impacts may have been overstated and the positives may be local.
