| "America is home": How Trump's immigration policies are upending Somali lives in the US |
| 2018-01-21 |
| Excerpt from the leftest Quartz below explains why Sharif is no longer welcome and President Trump is doing the right thing. [Quartz] In the mid-1990s, after fleeing Somalia’s civil war and living in Kenya as a refugee, Sharif and his family were granted resettlement and moved to the United States. As a teenager navigating the streets of Columbus, Ohio, he started hanging out with the wrong crowd, and in 2002, was convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to 15 years in prison. After a decade, Sharif was released on parole in 2012 and went about rebuilding his life. Despite his criminal record, he started working the system to get his driver’s license, got engaged, and got a stable job working at a restaurant where he worked himself from dishwasher to second chef. Members of his family who spoke to Quartz said that he was really determined to change his life and start a family. |

| #8 After being here for 3 decades, Sharif is still not a citizen Felons are not eligible for naturalization. In fact, green card holders with felonies are supposed to be stripped of their permanent residency and deported. As expect, Obama's ICE let this violent felon back out on the streets, instead of putting him on the next plane to Somalia when he was released. |

| #7 After being here for 3 decades, Sharif is still not a citizen and all he has to show for it is 10 years in prison and a back of the house restaurant job. We can grow this stuff at home. No need to import it. |

| #6 How much you want to bet he lives in a Somali community cluster, probably multi-family with government assistance, has widespread familial ties within that community and has relatives with various kinds of criminal records? Our Homeland Security connections work in San Diego taught us that Somalis' are a tribal/family based, multi-generational, kleptocratic, interconnected criminal enterprise. The "turning his life around" crap was for the idiot MSM reporters nosing around. |

| #5 There's an extant, thriving and *vibrant* civilization in Somalia for him to return to Snark O' The Day candidate |

| #4 Ship his arse somewhere outside civilization. Why do that? There's an extant, thriving and *vibrant* civilization in Somalia for him to return to. And his family can be *reunited* with him back there. |

| #3 Give him his chance to open his own restaurant, say in Mogadishu. |

| #2 >got a stable job working at a restaurant where he worked himself from dishwasher to second chef. So he's still pushing down average wages. Ship his arse somewhere outside civilization. |

| #1 Sharif’s family, however, confirmed to Quartz that he has suffered no physical injuries while at Glades but was put in solitary confinement for about a week for refusing to remove his kufi cap. Ship his ass back |
