Are these the same Somali Refugees let in to America in 1993 under the Clinton Administration?. There are something like 300 Somalians in Baron, a small town in Wisconsin that was 3,000 before this wave. These same refugees, granted political asylum, are granted American citizen benefits almost immediate. The Benefits include Welfare, Housing, Food Stamps etc. they are automatically qualified for SS and just about every Federal Benefit and Program you can think of. I think it is compassionate to help other people but not at the risk of the downfall of our own culture and country. Our ancestors came here and wanted to assimlate. Why is it that new immigrants, especially the illegal ones, now want to demand that we change our laws, our culture, our country so that they can be comfortable?

I think we need to stop the political correctness and retrun to being Americans. We should invited others who wish to join us in being Americans to but not if they come here expecting us to cater to them or change our country into a third world country. This is American, Not Mexico, not Somalia , Iran etc.

Either learn English and learn to be an American or go home.
