Newly arrived Somali immigrants flock to small towns and cities such as Lewiston, Maine; Shelbyville, Tennessee, St. Cloud, Minnesota, Clarkston, Georgia, and Jamestown, North Dakota, where they head straight for the local welfare office.

PAUL L. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

The Jamestown Sun reports that 400 Somalis have applied for public housing in the past four months. The Somali immigrants in Garden City, Kansas and nearby small towns have created the Somali Community Center of Southwest Kansas in order to tap into public welfare programs. Within this section of the heartland, white Christians have become the minority.

In East San Diego, the newly arrived Somalis have created a Little Mogadishu. The streets are lined with Somali stores, shops, and mosques. In the midst of this ethnic enclave stands the Iftin Charter School, where K-8 students are introduced to Arabic. 99% of the student population is Somali; Arabs constitute the remaining 1%.

The American Somalis now display the highest unemployment and poverty rates in the country. They also remain the least educated. According to Andrew Liepman, the deputy director of intelligence at the National Counterterrorism Center, Somali-Americans face “greater insularity compared to other, more integrated Muslim immigrant communities, [which] has aggravated the challenge of assimilation for their children.”

This problem is crystallized by the present situation is Lewiston, Maine, where African Muslims, many from the Bantu tribe, began arriving in 2001 at the rate of 100 a month.

Mohammed Maye, the president of the African Community and Refugee Center in Clarkston, Georgia posted a map of Lewiston on the wall of his office. “Go to Maine,” he advised the Somali immigrants. Abdullahi Abdullahi, the president of the Somali Community Development Organization in Clarkston, upheld this advice by telling his fellow countrymen that, unlike Georgia, Maine has terribly cold winters, but “the welfare system is better.”

Lewiston, indeed, was better. The small town in Maine with a population of 30,000 provided welfare to anyone in need, with the state picking up half the tab. Recipients, including the Muslim refugees, were allowed a generous five years of assistance before their benefits became terminated, and extensions for several additional years on the public dole were not difficult to obtain. Single parents could stay on welfare and go to college.

Public housing was also available, although, with the influx of Somalis, the housing projects became packed to capacity. Many of the new project dwellers were single Somali mothers with large broods of children. Those who are unable to obtain public housing were handed Section 8 vouchers, which the federal government provided to subsidize their rent in private apartments.The northern city with its frigid climate became welfare heaven for the arrivals from the vast desert areas of northern Africa.

The newcomers have shown scant interest in securing employment. When Renee Bernier, the president of the Lewiston city council, offered to hire 30 Somalis at the rate of $8 to $10 an hour to hold warning signs at construction sites, few displayed interest. The handful, who did apply, said that they were only willing to work between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The Somali population of Lewiston now exceeds 40,000.  H/T MICHAEL

FAVORING MULTICULTURALISM OVER AMERICAN CULTURE

Via: NewsWithViews.com, Frosty Wooldridge,

Ultimate breakdown of America: pretending another country’s culture stands superior to our own.

I question stickers that say, “Celebrate multiculturalism” and “I love diversity” as the new fad in America. Middle Eastern culture does not equate with American culture. India’s culture runs counter to American culture. Somalia’s culture clashes with our culture.

“This is our culture – fight for it. This is our flag – pick it up. This is our country – take it back.” –Former presidential candidate Tom Tancredo

Within the next 38 years, we expect to add 100 million immigrants from various cultures around the world. We, as a nation, stand on the precipice of our own cultural disintegration. Our culture stands in the crosshairs of clashing civilizations via importation of millions of immigrants from incompatible cultures.

In Denver, Colorado, last October, immigrants wanted Halloween celebrations taken out of the school systems. Peter Boyles, talk jock of KHOW 630 AM said, “Next they will demand Thanksgiving be taken away from us.”

Americans like Boyles do the job Congress refuses to do! Diversity proves a great divide that dissolves American culture.

Why do we allow multiculturalism to trump 236 years of successful U.S. culture?

Chicago Sun Times reporter Warner Todd Huston wrote, “At the end of September the school district in Oak Lawn, Illinois announced it was considering eliminating holiday celebrations like Christmas in its schools. Oak Lawn has seen increasing numbers of residents that identify with the Muslim faith who are naturally sending their children to the public schools there and school board members are afraid that Christian holidays are “offensive” to Muslim students.”

What drives the school culture? American history and American values!

Columbus Manor Principal Sandy Robertson said, “It’s difficult when you change the school’s culture.”

Ask yourself if you resided in Mexico if you would allow a Middle Eastern immigrant to change your wedding customs. If you hailed from Nepal, would you allow immigrants to change your flag festival? Would the Chinese allow an immigrant to change their national holidays to fit their sensitivities? Should the French give up their language to placate immigrants? Would France remain French if all its citizens spoke Arabic? What if Americans immigrating to Saudi Arabia demanded they speak English and celebrate Christmas?

“Since we have become a culture that won’t back a homogeneous observance of being an American, how do we address this issue?” Huston wrote. “How do we serve local communities that are made up mostly of “immigrants” – here unlawfully?”

This travesty illustrates America losing its cultural identity to a massive influx of people from incompatible cultures that will not assimilate into America but inject their own culture against ours. They cannot comprehend that our national culture and history form the bedrock of our existence. Culture permeates our cells. Our schools must teach our children about our culture in our country.

Nothing about America remains more sacred than our culture. Without it, we become listless, lose our moorings and drift on an unidentifiable sea. To lose one’s identity is to lose one’s individual self. What happens next? Depression, apathy and futility—ultimately spiritual and physical suicide!

A country that loses its identity suffers the same kind of disintegration as a child who loses its family. As proven around the world today with examples in Great Britain, France, Holland, Palestine and Sweden—multiculturalism fails at every level of human interaction. It proves, ultimately, one of the greatest dangers to humanity.

If America loses Christmas, Halloween, Easter, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, President’s day and Thanksgiving to multiculturalism, we lose the foundation of our spiritual grounding in an uncertain world. Huston wrote, “In fact, we should not be celebrating any other holidays but American holidays. American holidays reflect our national culture. The holidays and traditions of other cultures deserve to remain in their homes, not in the halls of our schools. By NOT indulging their desires to obviate American influences – replacing them with ideas antithetical to our American first principles – we would be doing a far better service to our children than to twist-and-squeeze every district to a different standard, to placate foreign nationals.”

This greatest of nations on the planet became successful BECAUSE of its culture. If we bend it, break it and turn it into multicultural mush soup, we, as a people will not stand together nor will we succeed into the future. Do we want Spanish to conflict with our language in our schools? Can we withstand the trauma of multiple languages? Can we bend over backwards for the Koran that has nothing to do with our history or culture? Do we want our children bent into the violence and intolerance of much of the world from which these immigrants fled? Can we survive as a cohesive civilization if we lose our culture? Do we not see their failed cultures will become our failed culture if we continue importing millions from failed countries?

Stephen Steinlight answered it best in his, “Amnesty and the Plot Against America”: “Everything we hold most sacred in our national life and civil society, in our public places and private spaces, from our splendidly rambunctious democratic culture to the experience of solitude in our sublime untouched natural environment is at stake in this battle—because the forces that reign against us are powerful, the fate of the nation unimaginable—if they prevail.”When will Americans start speaking out about open borders, American culture and demand English first? These facts must be publicly and factually disclosed to every American and their children. That disclosure must be based on facts, not the emotional rhetoric and deception of teachers, politicians and biased “politically correct” news media. The discussion of diversity must be made openly and recognizing the opinions and needs of Americans, not pro-multicultural vested interests that buy and pay for elected officials.

Tancredo: One language will unify us

By Tom Tancredo

Former Congressman Tom Tancredo

I am constantly baffled by the contradictions among our cultural and media elites when it comes to proposals for establishing the English language as the official language of our nation. Although they admit the necessity of English proficiency for both educational and economic advancement, they habitually oppose any policy proposal to establish English as our national language.

No law can or should compel individuals to give up their native tongue, and no one is proposing to do that. Yet clearly, there are steps we can take to encourage acquisition of essential English language skills by immigrants and newcomers. That is what a bill in Congress, the English Language Unity Act, seeks to do. It requires that all official business of the federal government be conducted only in English.

A study sponsored by the Denver Public Library in the last five years found that about 75 percent of Hispanic families are bilingual at home. That should surprise no one. First-generation immigrant families have historically been bilingual, whether Italian, Ukranian, Vietnamese or Pakistani. The problem is not foreign languages spoken in private homes.

Increasingly, the problem is the lack of incentives for new arrivals to learn the English language while at the same time there is a proliferation and celebration of native languages and cultures in school classrooms and the popular media.

The fact is, the conduct of official government business in foreign languages — at the federal, state or local level — sends the wrong message to new immigrants, legal or illegal. That practice tells new arrivals it is OK to retain your native tongue and postpone learning English. The message is: “We will accommodate you.” That is a message previous generations of immigrants did not hear, and it is a message that undermines and obstructs assimilation.

Why should any foreign national — whether tourist, foreign student, business traveler, or immigrant — be offended by the requirement that they conduct official government business in English? What other country of the world makes it so easy not to learn the native tongue? Can you do business with the Mexican government without learning Spanish or using a translator? Can you do government business in Poland while speaking Spanish? Can you do government business in France while speaking Farsi?

Countries where English is an official or de f...

Countries where English is an official or de facto official language

The proposed federal law would affect only official federal government business and government documents, not private businesses or other institutions. Banks, auto dealers and other commercial enterprises would still be free to advertise and do business in other languages if they choose, and customers are free to patronize those businesses or not. That’s freedom of association and freedom of choice.

Government business is a different matter entirely. Conducting official government business in foreign languages makes no sense except as a pandering to the cult of multiculturalism.

Everybody understands that lack of English language skills is a major barrier to the social and economic advancement of immigrants, yet proposals to promote this goal are routinely slandered as “xenophobic.” A true xenophobe would want to hold foreign-born individuals back, not help them move forward with additional incentives for learning English.

In the political arena, is it not contradictory to require naturalized citizens to pass an English language exam but then offer bilingual ballots for the act of voting? Such a policy strongly implies that the English language exam for citizenship is only symbolic, not substantial. But how can new citizens participate fully in debates and discussions about issues and candidates if they really can’t read, write or speak English? Providing a ballot in a foreign language sends a confusing and hypocritical message: “We want your vote, but not your participation.” A mailed-in foreign language ballot is about as American as a Yugo assembled in Brazil.

No one law can fix this problem, but the federal government can set a good example. The English Language Unity Act is a good first step.

ICE Offers Transgender Hormone Treatments, Abortions For Detained Illegals Under Obama’s New Guidelines…

Via: Zip: The country’s beyond broke and we’re accommodating she-men here illegally? Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot?

Via Daily Caller:

Hormone treatments for transgendered detainees, abortion services and extensive outlets for complaints — these are just a few of the reasons Texas Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith is not pleased with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) recently released Performance-Based National Detention Standards(PBNDS).

In the spirit of detention reform, in 2011, for the first time since 2008, ICE finished its revision of detention standards for those being held for being in the country illegally. Those new standards were released this month. ICE has already started to implement the changes. [...]

According to Smith, however, the revisions amount to a vast and expensive expansion of privileges.

“The Obama administration’s new detention manual is more like a hospitality guideline for illegal immigrants,” Smith wrote in a statement. “The administration goes beyond common sense to accommodate illegal immigrants and treats them better than citizens in federal custody.”

The standards also outline a wide range of medical procedures available to those in detention facilities, including services such as abortion access, hormone treatments for transgendered people, dental work and a 15-day supply of medications upon release, deportation or transfer.

German Chancellor: New World Order Has Utterly Failed: Germany Returning To Its Christian Roots!

Via: PoliticalVelCraft.com

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel‘s declaration that Germany’s attempts to build a multicultural society had “utterly failed” is feeding a growing debate over how to deal with the millions of foreigners who call the country home.

 

Merkel told a meeting of young members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union that while immigrants are welcome in Germany, they must learn the language and accept the country’s cultural norms — sounding a note heard increasingly across Europe as it battles an economic slump and worries about homegrown terrorism.

“This multicultural approach, saying that we simply live side by side and live happily with each other has failed. Utterly failed,” Merkel said.

Barack Obama speeches at Tiergarten Berlin, Germany

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has declared multiculturalism to be a failure and is beckoning her nation to repair to its Christian roots. Catholic League president Bill Donohue supports her:

At the beginning of the new millennium, there was a consensus in Europe on the virtues of multiculturalism. Attendant to this view was a profound reluctance to acknowledge Europe’s Christian heritage. Midway through the decade, there were signs that things were changing. In 2006, after meeting with Pope Benedict XVI, German Chancellor Angela Merkel made the case for “Christian values” in theEuropean Union Constitution. Now her criticism of multiculturalism is causing an international stir.

The problem with multiculturalism, as the pope understands, is that it breeds contempt for the moral truths that undergird the Judeo-Christian ethos of Western civilization. Indeed, as the pope has said, it has led to “a peculiar Western self-hatred that is nothing short of pathological.”

One major reason why multiculturalism is a failure is its implicit moral relativism: all religions and cultures are seen as equals. But this means that those who adhere to Judeo-Christian values, and those who espouse a preference for Sharia law, are voicing a similar perspective. This is worse than nonsense: the former yields liberty and justice; the latter yields slavery.

Chancellor Merkel deserves our support. Her courageous stand is worthy of emulation in the United States.

One-month old infant raped and murdered by illegal alien

Law Enforcement Examiner

“For the first time ever, the new definition for rape includes any gender of victim and perpetrator, not just women being raped by men.  It also recognizes that rape with an object can be as traumatic as penile/vaginal rape.  This definition also includes instances in which the victim is unable to give consent because of temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity.” U.S. Department of Justice

An illegal alien man allegedly raped and killed a 1-month-old female infant, according to law enforcement officials in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Wednesday, January 4. Sadly not one national newspaper, radio or television news organization covered this heinous and depraved criminal case, according to a  sheriff’s deputy in New Mexico.

The investigating detectives announced that the suspect, Juan Galindo, possesses a criminal history that includes drug charges, driving under the influence, and a prior sexual assault of a minor charge.
Galindo appeared in court over the weekend and was surrounded by court officers and jail guards to protect him from being attacked by other inmates who became enraged when they discovered that charges that Galindo faces, according to a Bernalillo County deputy sheriff.
The illegal alien was formally arraigned for the rape and then killing of his girlfriend’s four-week-old daughter. Galindo’s bail was set at $1 million, cash or bond.

The coroner’s report indicated that the baby suffered from anal and vaginal tears and arriving police and crime scene investigators found her small body lying in a pool of blood.

 As a result of a new definition of rape by the U.S. Department of Justice, Galindo faces rape charges not sexual assault.

For the first time ever, the new definition includes any gender of victim and perpetrator, not just women being raped by men.  It also recognizes that rape with an object can be as traumatic as penile/vaginal rape.  This definition also includes instances in which the victim is unable to give consent because of temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity, according to the DOJ’s Criminal Division.

The old definition:  “Forcible rape” had been defined by the UCR SRS as “the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will.”  That definition, unchanged since 1927, was outdated and narrow. It only included forcible male penile penetration of a female vagina.

The new definition: “The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” 

Galindo is an illegal alien from Mexico who uses various aliases and dates of birth. He claims to have fathered six children with different women in Mexico.

According to his records, Galindo was arrested almost 20 years ago in Texas for a DWI. He was deported back to Mexico but managed to sneak back into the U.S.

 He has been arrested for a case involving prior child abuse in Texas.
Local police said each charge against Galindo carries a life sentence. Also, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stated that Galindo may face 20 years in federal prison for reentering the country illegally.
“Reentering the U.S. after deportation is a serious offense punishable by up to 20-years in prison. Politicians, advocates for illegal aliens and most of the members of the press fail to tell Americans that fact, preferring to lead citizens to believe it’s a misdemeanor and not the felony it truly is,” said police lieutenant Stanley Rodgers.
“Our president and his attorney general spend more time harassing police who attempt to enforce immigration law than they spend trying to protect Americans — including American babies and children — from sexual predators who are in the country illegally. We have our own predators, we don’t need Mexico’s,” Rodgers said.

Bill Ayers Apostle Appointed White House Education Initiative Director…

Anyone even a tiny bit surprised?

Big Government

Jose Rico has been named the new director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics, a key position that could help close the achievement gap between white and minority students.  But if his history is any indication, his influence may do more harm than good.

Perhaps most troubling is Rico’s connection to unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and communist radical Mike Klonsky through the Chicago-based “Small Schools Workshop.”

The “Small Schools Workshop” was founded by Ayers and Klonsky.  In Klonsky’s words, Rico “toiled in the vineyards at the Small Schools Workshop” prior to obtaining an administrative position within Chicago Public Schools.  According to a U.S. Department of Education biography, Rico worked for the Small Schools Workshop some 6 years.  Klonsky beamed like a doting father on his website when Rico was appointed to the White House position.

While Rico’s CPSalumni.org bio doesn’t mention Small Schools Workshop, it describes his time in Chicago working as a “community organizer.”

Jose Rico (center) with Mike Klonsky (right) in 2009

Even after leaving Small Schools Workshop, Rico continued to associate with Klonsky.  In early 2009, heappeared on a panel with Klonsky titled “Prospects for Change in the Obama Years.” And Klonsky’s track record would make any American wonder why he’s been allowed to teach in American public schools.

After leading the violent Students for a Democratic Society with Ayers in the late 1960s, Klonsky left to fully embrace his communist roots.  Believing that the Communist Party-USA was not radical enough, in 1971, Klonsky founded the Communist Party-Marxist Leninist.

While serving as its chairman, Klonsky advocated for the overthrow of the world’s two superpowers – the United States and the Soviet Union.

175 Languages Spoken Here: Obama’s Housing Dept. Expands Services for Non-English Speakers

CNS News By Susan Jones

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan speaks in Denver on May 14, 2010. (AP File Photo/Ed Andrieski)

The HUD Language Line — available nationwide — will help HUD staff better communicate with “limited English proficient” people about HUD fair-housing programs, home ownership, lead abatement, housing assistance, and other HUD programs and services.

“Access to government should not be determined by how well a person speaks English,” said John Trasviña, HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. “The HUD Language Line is another example of HUD’s efforts to ensure that persons with limited English proficiency have equal access to HUD programs and services.”

When a non-English-speaking person contacts HUD, the staffer who takes the call will then contact the Language Line and speak with a live operator, who will connect the caller and HUD staff person with an interpreter who speaks the caller’s language.

Congress appropriated funds to HUD under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010 to help ensure that individuals have access to housing information in languages other than English.

The HUD Language Line is a pilot program that will run through September 2012.

HUD also maintains a Web site that promotes equal access to housing programs by providing HUD forms and documents in 18 different languages, including Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Cambodian, Chinese, Creole, Farsi, French, Hmong, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, in addition to English.

Hackers group releases demands to Mexican government, bus companies

Slideshow
A hackers group known as ‘Anonymous’ has released a series of demands to the Mexican government and bus companies in order to halt a planned December 10th cyber attack.

The group released its five demands in an unlisted YouTube video sent to Action 4 News and other media outlets late Thursday.

Anonymous claims that the Mexican government and bus companies are covering up or not doing enough to stop kidnappings, rapes and robberies of passengers on Mexico’s highways.

The group is threatening to hack a series of government and bus company websites for a 24-hour period unless its demands are met.

Kidnappings

Action 4 News was the first media outlet to report about the mass graves found in San Fernando, Tamauilpas just 90 miles south of the Rio Grande Valley.

Authorities believe the 293 bodies are those of bus passengers abducted and murdered by members of the Zetas drug cartel.

Dozens of arrests were made in the San Fernando case but Anonymous claims the crimes continue in Tamaulipas and throughout Mexico.

Five Demands

In the YouTube video, Anonymous said that only 5 percent of Mexico travels by airplane while the rest travel by passenger bus.

Anonymous stated in the video that meeting their demands will improve security on the roadways for the Mexican nationals and tourists alike.

Anonymous listed the following five demands:

1) All passenger buses travel on tolls roads (which are more secure)
2) GPS devices be mounted on all passenger buses
3) Live, remote cameras be installed on all passenger buses
4) Armed, plain clothes “bus marshals” travel on passenger buses
5) Those arrested in Mexico’s drug war be treated under Geneva Convention

A spokesperson for Anonymous told Action 4 News via direct message on Twitter that both sides of Mexico’s drug war have stated they are war.

They believe the Geneva Convention and its articles for the treatment of prisoners should apply to prisoners taken in the drug war.

Bus Company, Government Response

Action 4 News had attempted to reach major Mexican passenger bus companies and Mexico’s federal police about the planned cyber attack.

Bus company officials could not be reached for comment but Tranpais said in a previous statement that their buses already have GPS devices.

Mexico’s federal police asked Action 4 News to submit an inquiry to their cyber crimes unit in writing.

Action 4 News sent the e-mail request but never received a reply.
