Government
demographic studies all wrong on Somali numbers in US, by Ann Corcoran 2/19/17
We probably have at least twice as many Somalis of ethnic descent
living in the US as the federal government is telling us!
This little article caught my eye
yesterday, so I went back this morning to look at numbers I have recorded for
years. From Orangeville.com about Minnesota Somali numbers, with this line at the
end:
The 2015 American Community Survey says almost one-third of the
more than 129,000 people in the United States reporting Somali ancestry lived
in Minnesota.
129,000! No way!
This is what we know: Back in
2008, I laboriously poured over data provided by the federal Office of Refugee
Resettlement’s annual reports to Congress and wrote this post about the numbers. (We did not have access to Wrapsnet
at the time). Each year after that I updated the post with the Somalis we
admitted to the US—through only the
Refugee Admissions Program.
Through FY16 we admitted 136,376 Somali ‘refugees’! That number does not include all the
Somalis who got in to the US through other means including the Diversity Visa
Lottery, those who received student visas and disappeared into the American
woodwork, are here protected by Temporary Protected Status, or who came across
one of our borders and applied for asylum (or simply disappeared) over the last
3 decades.
And, in order for there to be only 129,000 people of Somali ancestry
here it would require us to believe some who came to the US left the country,
that a whole heck of a lot of them died while they weren’t having babies for
nearly 35 years! It is nuts!
When the government does census
counts do they rely completely on who is willing to answer surveys, or do they
make some attempt to look at government-held numbers about those who entered
the country? Apparently they rely on Somalis willing to tell them something!
In addition to the 136,376 through FY16, we have admitted 4,478 in the
last 4 months and 19 days. And, we pick up
Somalis all over the world, and I can assure you that vetting the wandering
Somalis is impossible. Here is where that 4,478 were placed since October 1,
2016 (according to Wrapsnet):
The top five states ‘welcoming’
Somalis since October 1, 2016 are Minnesota (609), New York (397), Ohio (306),
Kentucky (283) and Arizona (276). Virtually all Somalis are Muslims.
And, of all the ethnic groups
entering the US right now, Somalis (I believe) lead the pack in the number of
terrorist attacks or attempted terrorist attacks, or who have been arrested and
convicted of helping to support jihadists in some form or another.
Frankly, there is absolutely no reason for the US to take in more
Somalis! The UN is pushing them on us! We did not break Somalia. Why is the
country’s long running civil war our problem? See here.
Tell Donald Trump what you think by clicking here.
Then tell your members of Congress and US Senators to grow a spine and stop
this colonization as well!
