AMERICA: BARBARIANS AT THE GATE

Not good. Not good at all. One reader fears, " We've had nothing but trouble from the Somalis [in Nashville]- Atlas], including a scandal at their community center involving hundreds of thousands of dollar, serial rapes and attempted murder over an argument about Judaism!  Jerry has documented the community center debacle and it was covered by our local NBC affilliate but NOTHING has been done.  The somalis are also the foot soldiers for the muslim brotherhood here and are aligned with the al qaeda mosque.  My question is how did we become centers for immigration without any input from the community or public notification?  And how do we take political action on this?"

Emporia, Kansas prepares for an influx of Somali refugees Jerry Gordon ACT Blog

Emporia, Kansas is a small city of perhaps, 28,000 people, near the eastern Flint Hills in the sunflower state. Emporia has a major beef processing plant for Tyson Foods with over 2,000 employees. Dolly Madison Bakery and Hopkins Manufacturing are other major employers, as well.

Emporia is going through an influx of Somali Muslims, who may account for upwards of 1,000 residents in this small city. It is also, according to this Emporia Gazette article, about to have an influx of upwards of another 400 Somalis. About 400 Somali refugees currently work at Tyson.

For the calendar year ended September 30, 2007, more than 7,500 Somali refugees came to the U.S, out of a total of 17,000 African “humanitarian refugees”

Because the Somalis are certified as ‘humanitarian refugees’ under our State Department rules, they are supported by social services provided by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The ORR in turn contracts via state Departments of Social Services with providers such as Catholic Charities to deliver services. U.S. Taxpayers are picking up the tab, so food processors like Tyson couldn’t be happier, given the tightness of the low skilled labor pool in the vicinity.

Emporia is rapidly becoming a major destination for these tough foot soldiers of Islam. Because of its size, not unlike what happened to Lewiston, Maine another small city that has experienced difficulties with Somali immigrants, this influx will have a substantial and taxing impact. We have written about problems of assimilating Muslim Somali refugees in other heartland cities such as Indianapolis, Indiana, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lincoln, Nebraska, Kansas City, Kansas, Nashville, Tennessee to name a few.

What is consternating is that the Somalis are being recruited for what is clearly the lowest of low end jobs-butchering and meat packing - at Tyson’s processing plant in Emporia, The previous pool of workers, Hispanic immigrants, aren’t taking the positions.

It is a pattern that occurred in Lincoln, Nebraska at another beef processor, Swift & Co. There, in May of this year, 70 of 120 Somali butchers and meat packers quit their jobs because of insufficient “prayer time” was given them. While they subsequently returned, this eruption of Muslim resentment left the locals, flummoxed as to what to do. As noted in the Lincoln Star Journal:

Similar requests for workplace accommodations of Muslim religious obligations have become common around the country, says Muslim advocates. “I don’t know how it’s going to work, and I feel bad about it,” said Dan Hoppes, president of Local 22 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

Will the experience in Lincoln be repeated on a larger scale with the significant Somali work force at Tyson’s in Emporia? Probably so. Islamist Mosques will sprout up and Imams will doubtless deliver fire breathing Friday sermons filled with the usual incitement to hate against the Somalis welcoming hosts. the ‘unbelievers’ or kuffirs in Emporia. Perhaps Tyson meat packers might succeed in extracting prayer time and wudus or foot baths, will follow. Just as their Somali cousins did in Lincoln with able assistance of Muslim Brotherhood front group, CAIR. Who knows, even female genital mutilation, spousal abuse and other traits common to the Somalis will burst forth upon the local scene in Emporia. To quote the Emporia Gazette article:

The news cheered Fardusa Council, community liaison for Tyson, and Emporia Refugee Resettlement Alliance members laughed when she responded, “Hurry up and bring ’em so I can shut off my phone.”

There's more. Go.

UPDATE: US says Bhutanese are intimidated? WTF?

If diversity is real, culturism is necessary. Any anthropologist will tell you that the normal state of man is not rational rights based feminist consciousness. Multiculturalists think all people are the same deep down. Our immigration policies are based on all peoples of the world being just like the default of humanity: Americans. But Islamic Somalis are evidence of diversity.

Sorry to go on, but culturism believes in cultural rights, not international human rights. China doesn't take illiterate refugees in nor does Iran. That is because only we believe in "human rights" (again based on the idea that all people are basically the same). Our culture better recognize it is unique and protect itself soon because if the West falls we'll find out they were only Western.

Let them pack pork or pack it up and go back where they came from. Why must the USA take this human refuse? Why can't a moslem country take them? That way they wouldn't have to "assimilate" into a foreign culture and be "insulted".

Let's step back and ask another question:

Whose government is this?

The government of a nation is supposed to be in place to govern the nation. If we accept that we still live in a world of nations, then how is it, particularly in a democracy, that the government imposes upon its people mass immigration that poll-after-poll shows is opposed by the people?

In this case, it may even be worse than mass illegal immigration or even large-scale immigration of unrelated individuals, since we are talking about groups of people who are settled en masse in small towns. This is a policy that treats the existing populations with contempt and even treats the immigrants/refugees as non-individuals because it relocates them as groups and not as individual families, much less individuals.

The government is demonstrating that it is not a democratic national government but a de facto arm of some kind of world-government movement - anti-individual, anti-human and authoritarian.

The government - or at least the bureaucratic structures that do not change much with administration and have an inertia of their own - is unaccountable. These bureaucratic structures are composed of millions of federal and state employees who make government "function" and are not replaced when administrations - federal or state - change. They are the functionaries who do the "little" work of government. Unfortunately, all of that "little" work, those little decisions, has huge consequences.

The bureaucratic functionaries only change their course when new administrations enact completely new policies (e.g. completely reverse the 1965 immigration laws, in this case, which nobody seems willing to do) and appoint revolutionary micromanagers who sweep clean the old bureaucracies.

Until then, it is business (inertia) as usual, which in this case means allowing petty bureaucrats where to relocate Somali Muslims en masse.

So the question is: who is going to overturn the whole idea of allowing "refugees" in, particularly when they are from hostile cultures and do not assimilate, and who is going to get tough on immigration in general, enacting policies more in line with the wishes of the majority of Americans? Who is going to give the petty bureaucrats entirely new directives?

Not Bush. He has turned out to be a world-government put America last type.

Jobs Hispanics won't do!

I wonder if these employers ever stop to consider whether they'll be harmed by letting these savages in? Don't they think they'll be harmed by this national suicide?
