Judicial Watch Files Ethics Complaint against Rep. Ilhan Omar

On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson discussed the fascinating case of Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born elected congressional representative from Minnesota. Some might call her a demonstration of how diverse persons can succeed in America.

Others might notice Omar’s sketchy past and see a criminal who just hasn’t been prosecuted yet. The charges are not new and have been examined here previously.

Tucker interviewed Tom Fitton, whose organization Judicial Watch recently delivered a request that the House investigate Omar for her alleged unlawful behaviors, including perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud. Read the particulars: Judicial Watch Files House Ethics Complaint against Rep. Ilhan Omar over Potential Immigration, Marriage, Tax, and Student Loan Fraud.

Tucker called Omar a lunatic, but a better characterization might be that she is a cultural stew of arrogant sharia-compliant muslim immigrant who believes she will prevail over the stupid infidels in America. Oh, and political correctness is on her side also, since she is not shy about calling critics Racist, as she did in her recent New York Times opinion piece Ilhan Omar: It Is Not Enough to Condemn Trump’s Racism.

TUCKER CARLSON: In a resurfaced interview from 2018, Ilhan Omar told Al Jazeera that America ought to engage in racial profiling of white men, whom she blamed for, quote, “Most of the deaths within this country.”

ILHAN OMAR: I would say our country should be more fearful of white man across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. We should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.

CARLSON: In the same interview, Omar said America shouldn’t worry about young Muslims leaving her state of Minnesota to fight for ISIS or Al-Shabaab. The real — I’m not making this up, I’ve got to pause right here, because we’re not making this up. It’s hard to believe, but we’re actually not, this is real.

Omar said the real concern was the rhetoric of local politicians, which apparently drove these young terrorists into terrorism. In short, Ilhan Omar is a lunatic, an embarrassing blight on American politics, but hopefully, one that will eventually pass.

Recently, the group Judicial Watch filed a formal ethics complaint against Omar. The group requested a full investigation into matters that include potential tax fraud, marriage fraud, and immigration fraud, as well as perjury. Tom Fitton is the President of Judicial Watch, and he joins us tonight. Tom, thanks for coming on. What are you hoping to find from Congresswoman Omar?

TOM FITTON: Well, whether she’s a crook or not. The House Ethics Committee needs to begin the process of figuring out whether the strong evidence of marriage and other criminal activity or marriage fraud and other criminal activity is accurate, in terms of she did it. Continue reading this article

Minnesota Somalis Rip Off Daycare to Fund Jihad

Somali values are made clear by a major case of fraud now being reported: fake daycare businesses were set up to bilk the government of cash which is then carted off by the millions in suitcases to Somalia to fund Al Shebaab, a regional jihadist group. Tucker Carlson had a succinct report on Tuesday:

TUCKER CARLSON: Millions of taxpayer dollars may have been used to fund terrorists in Somalia; that’s according to a new report by a Fox affiliate in the Twin Cities. According to that story, many members of Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community have discovered they can open sham daycare centers that only pretend to watch children, collect a fat subsidy from the state for doing that and keep the change. They’ve make millions of dollars, up to a hundred million according to that report: that would be half of Minnesota’s annual budget for child care assistance. Again, these are people who were resettled here as an act of charity by our country, accused now of defrauding our country. And not just fraud — fraud so brazen the report says that Somalis buy shares in fake daycare outlets just to get a cut of it.

Some of this fraudulently obtained money is reportedly being shipped back to Somalia in suitcases full of cash to evade federal wire transfer restrictions some of this money is ending up in regions of Somalia controlled by the Islamic terror group Al Shabaab. . .

The Shabaab jihadists are a rough bunch, and millions of dollars can buy lots of weapons to murder infidels and disobedient muslims.

Below, Al Shabaab jihadists in Somalia execute accused adulterer Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim by stoning.

A report from the local Fox9 compiled from months of investigation found that $100 million was carried out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport in 2017 (Millions of dollars in suitcases fly out of MSP, but why?):

Powerline blogger John Hinderaker asked Is This The Worst Scandal In Minnesota History?

Before Somali immigration, Minnesota had a reputation as a friendly and law-abiding state, so $100 million stolen from the state’s taxpayers for child care comes as a shock, although muslim crime has been an ongoing theme there for years. The fraud certainly blows up the diversity narrative that liberals worship.

One news report from the Pioneer Press was eye-catching because of its raw emotion on display — it could have been written by a high school student:

Minnesota child day care fraud cash going to terrorists? Let’s unpack this. By Dave Orrick, Pioneer Press, May 15, 2018

Here’s the idea that’s freaking people out: “$100 million in Minnesota taxpayer child day care fraud is going to Islamic terrorists.”

It doesn’t look like all of that is true — but parts of it are.

There’s a lot of smoke — and a lot of fire — around this story, which KMSP-TV broke this week and has sent lawmakers and bureaucrats at the state Capitol into action. And these actions and reactions have been all over the place, ranging from hunkering in echo chambers to demanding answers to pouncing on red political meat to, well, everything in between.

It’s hard to keep track — and easy to get the facts wrong. Let’s try.

(Continues)

Why the shock? Somalis have been leaving Minnesota for years to fight for jihad in their ancestral homeland — why wouldn’t they transport stolen dollars to Somalia for the same purpose?

Of all immigrant groups, Somalis are arguably the worst because they are actively hostile to assimilation, even though great efforts have been made by extra-nice Minnesotans.

America has been swilling immigration poison via Somalis for too long, so it’s time to admit failure and just stop importing trouble.

 Somali Cop Shoots Innocent Woman: Tribe Claims Backlash

In Minneapolis, the local Muslim reaction over the murder of Australian woman Justine Damond by a Somali immigrant policeman has taken on a familiar theme — the old “backlash” dodge which attempts to make the Somalis into the victim.

Below, Justine Damond was shot dead by Mohamed Noor, an officer in the Minneapolis Police Department when she tried to report a crime.

Portraying Minnesota Somalis as the injured party is a heavy lift, largely because of their years-long record of violence, jihad and non-assimilation. In 2009 (when the Somali population of the state was only 32,000), the AP reported that the Rise of Somali Gangs Plagues Minneapolis. In the same year, Shirwa Ahmed (a 2000 graduate of Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis), traveled to Somalia to blow up himself and 29 others in Mogadishu.

Last September Somali refugee Dahir Aden stabbed 10 persons in a St. Cloud shopping center while shouting Allah. Making local people fear a jihad attack while browsing in the mall will not convince them trust Muslim immigrants.

Dozens of young Somalis have returned to their cultural homeland to pursue jihad, like the fabulous foursome shown below. Why does Washington continue to import a people that doesn’t like Americans?

Some of those who remain don’t care to assimilate to American values: when filmmaker Ami Horowitz interviewed Somalis in Minneapolis, quite a few said they would rather live under sharia than American law. (Hint: Mogadishu has a brand new airport despite the recent al Shabaab unpleasantness.)

So if indeed there is a backlash against Somalis in Minnesota, an argument can be made that they brought on distrust and ill feeling themselves, by their years of violence, jihad and hatred of the US — which Americans have recognized as a threat.

After Minneapolis officer in police shooting is named, Somali community braces for backlash, Washington Post, July 18, 2017

When Mohamed Noor joined the Minneapolis police force and was assigned to patrol the city’s southwest corner, the Somali community there — the nation’s largest — threw a party for him to celebrate.

He was the first Somali American officer to serve in Minneapolis’s fifth precinct and one of fewer than a dozen Somali American officers in the department. His presence on the squad brought Somali activists some pride and reassurance at a time of Islamophobia in America and nationwide racial tension stoked in part by shootings of black people by white police officers.

Now that same Somali community is bracing for a backlash against Noor that has already begun.

On Monday, multiple media outlets named Noor as the officer who fatally shot an unarmed Australian woman in the city’s popular Fulton neighborhood over the weekend, an incident that has grabbed global attention and thrust Minneapolis into yet another uproar over police violence….

The report stoked fear among Somalis in the Twin Cities, who have worked for decades to become part of the city’s fabric. There are now Somalis on the police force, the city council and in the Minnesota House of Representatives. But the largely Muslim population of Somali Americans in the region still face Islamophobia and innuendo about terrorism.

“They fear this will be just another event used to create animosity toward the Somali community,” Mohamud Noor, executive director at the Confederation of Somali Community in Minnesota, told The Post.

Already, hateful posts criticizing Islam and sharia law are filling social media in response to the police shooting. Several far-right blogs featured sensational headlines that blamed the officer’s ethnicity for the deadly use of force. Continue reading this article

Minnesota Mall Stab Spree Ends with Nine Non-Muslims Wounded

Saturday was a busy day terror-wise. A bomb went off in New York City, about which there are still questions regarding the perp and motives. Another explosive went off in New Jersey along the route of a 5K run that celebrated US Marines.

But there is no question about the attacks in St. Cloud MN where an as yet unnamed Muslim stabbed nine people after quizzing at least some of them about their religious affiliation regarding allah.

ISIS claimed him as one of theirs on Sunday, but the guy was in no position to argue since he had been shot dead by an off-duty cop during the Muslim’s stabby spree.

Minnesota has been inundated by Somali Muslims, who are among the most backward newbies ever, plus they are top jihad returners to the homeland. So why does Washington continue to import Somalis when they don’t like the country or its inhabitants?

Minnesota has struggled for years trying out various strategies to get Somalis to assimilate to American values — expensive youth outreach, make-work social programs, even a basketball coaching scheme for one jihadist that failed — but the Africans have shown zero interest in wanting to acculturate. They prefer their Islamic values of jihad, polygamy, Islamic supremacism and misogyny. A filmmaker interviewed Somalis in Minneapolis last year and most openly rejected the Constitution and embraced sharia as their core belief.

Liberals like Obama say America should repeal the Second Amendment if it would “save one life.” Meanwhile his open borders and Syrian Muslim immigration jihad have caused many American deaths and will likely kill more.

Some Somali immigrants to America prefer to return to their national home to kill for allah with al-Shabaab or ISIS.

Minnesota resident Pete Hegseth appeared on Fox News Sunday morning and agreed with Donald Trump that it’s time to hit the Pause button on diverse immigration.

How about a really long pause, say maybe a century?

TUCKER CARLSON: A man shouting Allah goes on a stabbing rampage inside a Minnesota shopping mall. Did the refugee crisis caused this? We will connect the dots with Pete Hegseth. He joins us just ahead. We’re bringing back a Fox News alert this morning. Eight people were stabbed in a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, last night by a man shouting Allah as he asked his victims if they were Muslim.

ED HENRY: Fox News contributor and US Army vet Pete Hegseth was in St. Cloud just yesterday. He joins us live now from Minneapolis. Good to see you Pete, certainly not under these circumstances, when you see what is clearly a terror attack on the ground in Minnesota. What are you hearing there? What are people saying?

PETE HEGSETH: I was there for a football game later on that evening. There was this attack — listen, what’s happening in Minnesota is a microcosm of the refugee concerns in America. There’s large swathes of Somali Muslims who have come to Minnesota over the last number of decades. There’s no real understanding of how many. Many of resettle throughout Minnesota — Rochester, Minneapolis and St. Cloud — a significant populations upwards of 10 or 15 percent of the population in St. Cloud now. A lot of tensions and there has not been the amount of assimilation a lot of Minnesotans have wanted.

So there’s a concern that this population could do something just like this. The FBI director a couple of months ago said that literally about the Somali population in Minnesota: there’s a terror recruitment problem and that community is in denial. And a lot of Minnesotans — I can speak for folks here — there’s been this abiding concern that something like this might happen eventually. Unfortunately it did in St. Cloud it appears, although we don’t know the identity exactly of the attacker, and with the places like the Mall of America and others here in Minnesota those fears continue.

CARLSON: So that refugee resettlement didn’t happen accidentally; it was federal policy and the upshot has been to turn your state from a peaceful state, famous for its niceness, into a place where there are more terror plots foiled than in any other state in the union. What was the point of this? The US government is supposed to act on behalf of the country. What was the point of this resettlement? Continue reading this article

America’s Senator Jeff Sessions Warns That Obama’s Syrian Refugee Program Endangers America

In his usual polite and scholarly way, Senator Sessions has laid out the case to condemn the President’s reckless (at best!) importation of unscreenable foreigners from the millennial enemy of western freedom — Islam. As the Senator notes, “Good public policy puts the safety and security of this country first,” and welcoming unknowable Syrian Muslims into our neighborhoods fundamentally violates that principal.

What could possibly go wrong with Obama’s scheme?

Preventable terror, suffering and death, for starters — as is happening now in Europe’s summer of terror, following Chancellor Merkel’s insane flinging open the continent’s borders and subsequent jihad invasion.

We should learn from Europe’s terrible immigration catastrophe, not ignore it.

Sessions: Refugee Terrorism Increases While Obama Increases Flow, August 10, 2016

WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and The National Interest, issued the following statement today about the Obama Administration’s refugee policies, its temporary amnesty for Syrians in the United States, and dangers posed by admitting large numbers of refugees to the United States:

“Despite a clear nexus between immigration and terrorism, and warnings from top officials in his own Administration about their inability to properly vet refugees, President Obama remains in denial ‎about the dangers that his policies pose to the United States. Instead of taking a sober assessment of the ‎dangers that we face, and analyzing the immigration histories of recent terrorists so that we can more effectively safeguard our immigration system from being infiltrated, the Obama Administration leads the United States down a dangerous path – admitting as many refugees as possible from areas of the world where terrorists roam freely, and granting a temporary amnesty to Syrians living in the United States illegally. And contrary to the assertions made by many, the potential for future terror activity is real.

Our primary effort, and that of our allies, should be to provide support to those who are displaced as close to their homes as possible, and work to return them home as soon as possible. Of course, our foreign policy should always seek to avoid situations where such violence and chaos occur. But instead of pursuing these policies, the Obama Administration continues with its radical plans.

The 10,000 Syrian refugees his Administration will admit this Fiscal Year represent a nearly 500 percent increase over the roughly 1,600 Syrian refugees who were admitted last year. This radical increase places the safety and security of the American people at risk, there will surely be consequences.

Since September 11, 2001, we know that at least 40 individuals who were admitted to the United States as refugees have been convicted for, or implicated in, terrorism or terrorism-related offenses – and the total is likely much higher. Some were admitted as adults, others as children, but these cases refute the false assertion that those admitted to the United States as refugees never engage in terrorism. But because these facts do not fit within his worldview, President Obama rejects them. ‎And in so doing, he rejects his sacred oath for what he perceives as political gain.

Plainly, there is no way to properly vet these refugees. Our intelligence databases are only as good as the information that goes into them – meaning that the absence of derogatory information in our systems about an individual does not ‎mean that admitting that individual carries no risk. Nor do we have an effective method to screen refugees for the possibility of potential post-entry radicalization.

Good public policy puts the safety and security of this country first. There is no doubt that this continuous, dramatic increase in refugees from areas of the world where terrorists roam freely will endanger this nation. We must change course.”

Washington Flash: Spike in Immigration May Be Connected to Unfriendly Islam Behavior

This just in — bright lights among the people’s representatives in the big capitol city have noticed a possible correlation between increased Muslim immigration and jihad activity.

Who could have imagined that the historic enemies of Western civilization for the last 1400 years would still be planning the mass murder of infidels, and now are using America’s open borders as a door?

New York City’s traditional Thanksgiving Parade now requires massive security to protect the public from Muslim jihad attacks.

In the final year of the Obama administration, immigration of various legalities from everywhere continues like there’s no Off switch. The Washington Beacon notes that 170,000 persons from majority-Muslim nations will be granted legal entry this year — that’s around 466 potential unfriendlies arriving per day in stupid-generous America.

A historic enemy tribe is welcomed by the government and Obama wants to disarm the lawful citizens — how curious is that?

Rise in U.S. Terror Plots Tied to ‘Unprecedented’ Spike in Immigration, Washington Free Beacon, January 15, 2016

Cruz: ‘Political correctness’ fueling failure to address U.S. security flaws

There is growing concern on Capitol Hill that a recent spike in the number of foreigners arrested in the United States on terrorism charges is the result of a flawed Obama administration immigration policy that will grant residence to around 170,000 individuals from Muslim-majority nations in the coming year, according to conversations with lawmakers and congressional sources.

With the indictment last week of two Iraqi refugees who allegedly conspired with ISIS, a number of lawmakers are now warning that poor screening methods and an administration plan to boost immigration will endanger national security.

Recent efforts by Congress to investigate the immigration histories of at least 113 foreign-born individuals snagged on terror charges since 2014 have been blocked by the Obama administration. There are at least 1,000 open investigations into ISIS members residing in the United States, sources said.

New cases of legal immigrants participating in alleged terrorist plots are cropping up on a near daily basis, according to Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), who has been spearheading an effort to investigate how these individuals are passing through U.S. security screenings.

“Almost every day there is a new case that documents the relentless attacks being waged against our nation,” said Cruz. “We have militants who have infiltrated waves of refugees to come to American and plot attacks. We have Americans who have travelled abroad to train returning to wage jihad here. We have home-grown terrorists who are receiving instruction online to hatch attacks.” Continue reading this article

Minnesota Tries Expensive Social Programs to Cool Jihad Ardor among Somali Immigrants

Every time the government takes another look at America-residing Muslims who decamp for jihad back in the homeland, the number gets higher, as shown in a recent House report. And some of the most stubbornly resistant to assimilation are the Somalis, many of whom reside in unlucky Minnesota.

To prevent young Somali immigrants from joining up for jihad, serious money is being invested by the government. In the Fox News interview below, Minneapolis-St. Paul reporter Tom Lyden remarked about local anti-radicalization programs for the Somalis: “We have about $2 1/2 million in the pipeline for Big Brothers, mentoring programs, jobs programs. The expression here is the best way to fight radicalism is to give a young man a job and have him build a life.”

That’s a lot of money to try to housebreak one of the world’s most backward, violent groups. What about American kids? Couldn’t the millions of dollars be more usefully spent on scholarships and such for them?

In 2011, I wrote a blog titled, Somali Immigrants in Minnesota: Import a Problem, Then Pay to Try to Fix It about a House hearing that included what a local police chief was doing to cope with the problems of crime and jihad. Here’s a bit about the dollar cost:

One interesting witness was the St. Paul Chief of Police, Thomas Smith. His testimony was enthusiastic about the wonders of police “outreach” to Somali youth. (Congressional Record pg. 304.) He made the St. Paul police sound more like social workers than crime-fighting cops. Smith described an array of fun athletic programs: “Our Police Athletic League has over 300 Somali American youth participants who compete in soccer, flag football, softball and volleyball games that are organized, coached and refereed by Saint Paul Police Officers.” Kumbaya is alive and well in Minnesota!

Of course, top quality outreach like St. Paul’s does not come cheap. Chief Smith praised the success of AIMCOP (African Immigrant Muslim Community Outreach Program). AIMCOP is a two-year program funded by a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant at a cost of $670,679 to the taxpayers.

In 2006, the St. Paul Police received a grant for $250,000 from the Minnesota Public Safety Department for outreach to the Muslim/Somali community. The program focused on women’s issues and domestic violence, but apparently did not work well enough to prevent prostitution rings in three cities run by Somali gangs which forced girls under the age of 14 into the sex business.

So four years ago the local spending for trying to restrain Somali youth was a little under $921,000; now it is considerably higher with no assurance of success and more indication of failure. Worse, the Somalis keep coming at a rate of 800 per month, despite the group’s distinct inability to adjust as immigrants.

Interestingly, a documentary filmmaker interviewed Somalis on the streets of Minneapolis a few months ago and inquired whether they preferred Islamic sharia law to the American Constitution, and most thought head-choppy sharia was superior.

Below, Somalis prepare to stone a man to death for adultery in Somalia.

The Minnesota reporter sounds a lot more upbeat about assimilating Somalis than the facts warrant.

STEVE DOOCY: According to a shocking new report, 58 Americans have attempted to join ISIS in Syria since 2011. Fifty-eight! Of those, 15 are from the state of Minnesota, more than any other state. With more and more joining the jihad, what is being done to stop them from making it to the battlefield? Joining us right now a Minnesota reporter who’s been on this story for years, KMSP TV’s Tom Lyden. Tom, why is it so many people in Minnesota wind up going jihad?

TOM LYDEN: You know the groundwork for this was really set back in 2007. We have a very large Somali community here, about a hundred thousand people and a very small part of that community was radicalized back in 2007, and we had 24 people leave Minnesota to go fight for the terror group al-Shabaab in Somalia. So that groundwork was already there, and really it was in 2014 we just saw kind of a pivot towards ISIS, and what this new House report brings up, which is why we’re talking about this, is the role of social media. That’s really what’s changed here from 2007 with their young man to 2014. Continue reading this article

Raymond Ibrahim Explains the World’s Most Dangerous Ideology

Prager University is a fascinating collection of brief videos on a variety of subjects from politics to history and philosophy.

Prager U has published a good five-minute explanation of radical Islam, currently the world’s most poisonous ideology, comparable to the extremist beliefs that roiled the 20th century. The speaker is Raymond Ibrahim, a researcher and author focused on the Middle East and Islam.

There’s no more dangerous, hostile ideology on earth. Why then do western nations admit believers as immigrants inside the gates?

RAYMOND IBRAHIM: What is the world’s most dangerous ideology?

RaymondIbrahimBookIn the first part of the 20th century, the answer was Fascism; first manifest in Italy in the 1920’s, and then in Nazi Germany and in Imperial Japan. It took a world war and 50 million dead to stamp it out. In the second half of the 20th century, the answer was Communism. Between the Soviet Union, Mao’s China and their client states, at least 100 million people were killed in its wake.

Today, the answer is Islamism, a radical, and often violent, form of Islam. Like Fascism and Communism, Islamism is totalitarian in nature: the state controls everything. Also like Fascism and Communism, Islamism is inherently expansionist. It always seeks to get bigger, cross borders, and bring as many peoples as possible under its control. And, like Fascism and communism, many of Islamism’s adherents are prepared to kill to achieve its aims.

Those aims are antithetical to everything Western and other free societies stand for: free speech, free enterprise, freedom to practice, or not to practice, any religion, freedom of assembly, a free press and, of course, fundamental human and civil rights for all their citizens.

Islamism completely rejects the Western principle of separating religion from government. In its view, governments are legitimate only if they rule according to religious law — in Islamism’s case, Sharia, Islam’s extensive body of sacred laws. Sharia is based on the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah. The Quran is believed to be the literal words of Allah, as revealed to his prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. And the Sunna consists of the words and deeds attributed to Muhammad. Continue reading this article

Somalis Residing in Minneapolis Want Sharia, Reject American Law

Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz has a small Youtube channel where he presents self-produced videos. In a recent piece, he interviewed Somalis residing in Minneapolis and asked them whether they prefer Islamic sharia to the American system.

Unsurprisingly, most would rather have head-choppy sharia law.

HOROWITZ: Do you feel more comfortable living under American law or do you feel more comfortable living under sharia law?

SOMALI MAN: Uh, sharia.

ANOTHER SOMALI: I’m a Muslim. I prefer sharia law.

A THIRD SOMALI: Sharia law, yes.

HOROWITZ: Do you prefer Sharia law over American law?

A FOURTH SOMALI: Of course, yes.

HOROWITZ: Do you find most of your friends feel the same way?

FOURTH SOMALI: Yeah, of course, if you’re a Muslim, yeah.

Why not offer them a free one-way ticket to Somalia in return for them rejecting their American citizenship or green cards?

Then they could go full jihad in the dear homeland with al Shabaab. They can stone and behead to their heart’s content. Win, win.

And stop importing them. Muslim immigration welcomes historic enemies of western civilization and must stop.

Global Illegal Aliens Trek Panama Jungle to Reach America

Here’s an item for the “They Keep Coming” file. Illegal aliens from Somalia and Pakistan and Ghana are traipsing through a rather hazardous Panamanian jungle to reach the first-world free stuff of Uncle Sucker. Among the dangers they face in their tropical transit are malaria, blood-sucking bats, snakes and carnivorous jaguars. But Obamaphones and food stamps beckon, so they make their way through the roadless Darien Gap region. The number of would-be illegal aliens has quadrupled this year compared with 2014 so somebody likes it.

PanamaRouteIllegalsAmerica-wsj

Third worlders keep flocking, assured that they will have better lives in stupid-generous America than in their backward homelands. And it’s certainly true that being a jobless welfare recipient in Minneapolis is cushier than living in a dirt-floor hut in Somalia. A Somali man in the video below hopes he can find peace, but a future son might want to explore his tribal background via traditional Islamic jihad some day, as so many others have done. Assimilation of the Islo-diverse has been a failure.

Why don’t the invaders just go to Mexico and hop a train north? It’s unclear why they don’t avail themselves of Mexican cartels’ extensive services.

Global Migrants Brave Panama’s Vipers, Bats, Bandits to Reach U.S., Wall Street Journal, May 29, 2015

Africans, Asians, Cubans cross the treacherous jungle of the Darien Gap

METETÍ, Panama—Ahmed Hassan staggered through dense Panamanian jungle, crazy with thirst, his rubber sandals sliding in the mud, fearing he would die thousands of miles from his homeland in Somalia.

“I told my family I would go to the U.S., that was the plan,” said the 26-year-old truck driver, who said he fled late last year when al-Shabaab militants took his village. He flew to Brazil and made a cross-continental bus trip to Colombia.

In March came his biggest test: crossing the Darien Gap that connects South America with Panama and Mr. Hassan’s ultimate goal, the U.S.

“There was no water. There were snakes,” he said in a small holding center in Metetí, north of the jungle, gashes and bites covering his legs under his traditional sarong. “I thought I might die in that jungle.”

Migrants go to extremes for new beginnings. Honduran families put children on northbound trains. Hundreds of Africans recently drowned braving the Mediterranean in an overcrowded boat. People cross the deadly Sonoran Desert to get from Mexico to Arizona.

The untamed Darien Gap has become a new route for travelers from as near as Cuba and as far as Nepal. The surge reflects the difficulty of entering the U.S. by traditional paths like arriving on a visa and overstaying, said Marc Rosenblum, a deputy director at the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington think tank.

“These people are willing to take this risky and complicated route,” he said, “and they are lining up to take it.”

U.S. justice and immigration officials say they are working to combat human smuggling on such routes. “We will continue using all of our investigative authorities to identify and dismantle these transnational criminal organizations,” said Barbara Gonzalez, Senior Adviser to Latin America at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

The circuitous Panama route has become more attractive, say migration experts, thanks to the easing of visa and asylum requirements in some South American countries and an unwillingness by some governments on the route to carry out mass deportations. Continue reading this article

Rasmussen Poll: More Voters Want Border Controlled

Many elected officials want the immigration issue to go away so they can continue servicing the businesses that demand slave-cheap workers. But the little citizens notice the worsening state of the nation due to open borders and permissive immigration — there is less respect for law, more danger from jihadist enemies, schools overwhelmed with illegal alien children, citizen workers forced to train their foreign replacements and a raft of other problems stemming from chaos.

WashingtonNoAmnestyRallyJuly15-2013

The voters have noticed how badly the administration is running immigration and the borders, a fact which a recent poll reveals.

Immigration: Support for More Border Control Hits Four-Year High, Rasmussen Reports, May 4, 2015

A growing number of voters consider illegal immigration a serious problem and believe controlling the border is the most important thing the government can do, even if using the military is necessary.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 77% of Likely U.S. Voters now consider illegal immigration a serious problem in America today, with 51% who say it is Very Serious. Just 19% don’t think it’s a serious problem, and that includes only three percent (3%) who say it’s Not At All Serious. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

While overall concern about illegal immigration is unchanged from January, the number who think it is a Very Serious problem is up from 47%.

As they have for years, most voters (63%) think gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing the status of undocumented workers already living in the United States. While that’s up just two points from January, it is the highest level of support for border control since December 2011. 

Thirty percent (30%) believe it’s more important to legalize those already living here, the lowest finding in two years.

Most voters (63%) still agree that the U.S. military should be used along the Mexican border to prevent illegal immigration, but that’s up from 57% in January and is the highest finding since December 2012. Just 26% disagree, while 12% are undecided.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) believe providing a pathway to citizenship for those currently in the country illegally will just encourage more illegal immigration, also up from January. Just 24% disagree, but 19% are not sure. Continue reading this article

US Attorney Says Minnesota’s Terror Recruitment Problem Is Unconnected to Somali Immigration

On Monday, the government announced the arrest of several young Somalis determined to reach the ISIS territory in the Middle East. The arrests were the result of a months-long investigation.

Below, four of the six Somalis who planned on killing infidels for allah.

Minnesota4ISISrecruitsSomali415

The presser was run by the US Attorney for Minnesota, Andrew Luger, and he described some interesting parameters of what the case was and was not:

“We have a terror-recruiting problem in Minnesota,” Luger said. “The problem will not go away unless we address it head-on. It’s not a Somali problem, it’s not an immigrant problem. It’s our problem. It’s a Minnesota problem.

Islamic jihad was not a common career path among young Minnesota-residing men before Washington began to import Somalis in large numbers. More than 100,000 Somalis now reside in the US, and they have arguably been the least successful immigrant group in adjusting to life in US society. Their rejection of American values has appeared in a wide assortment of anti-social activity, including criminal gangs, a penchant for pursuing murderous jihad, racist attacks against white Americans, violent assaults videotaped for Youtube, demands for free halal food, and a culture of violence.

Yet the US Attorney asserts that Minnesota is at fault.

In fact, he should blame the diversity ideology which claims that all cultures are morally equal and all foreigners can assimilate successfully.

A Minnesota report emphasized the Somali “community” reaction to the court scene.

6 From Minnesota Charged With Trying To Join Islamic State, CBS Local News, April 20, 2015

The indictment said the men were recruited by another young Minnesotan who has been with ISIS for more than a year.

The six, whom authorities described as friends who met secretly to plan their travels, are accused of conspiracy to provide material support and attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. The complaint says the men planned to reach Syria by flying to nearby countries from Minneapolis, San Diego or New York City, and lied to federal investigators when they were stopped.

Four of the men were arrested Sunday in Minneapolis and two were arrested in San Diego.

Charged are Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, 21; Adnan Abdihamid Farah, 19; Abdurahman Yasin Daud, 21; Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, 19; Hanad Mustafe Musse, 19; and Guled Ali Omar, 20.

At least fifty members of the Somali community — some of them family members of the young men — arrived in federal court for the hearing Monday afternoon.

The four defendants, including Hanad Musse and Adnan Farah, appeared briefly — all were given public defenders . They are all charged with conspiring to leave the country to join ISIS.

They tried repeatedly to leave the country but were stopped from boarding planes in New York and the Twin Cities. Continue reading this article
