CAIR deems Trump's comments about Somali refugees in Minnesota racist
[10 News] The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned comments made by President Donald Trump's at a rally on Thursday in Minneapolis about the state of Minnesota's Somali population as "racist."

The comments that drew the ire of the group that advocates for Muslims in America:

"Leaders in Washington brought large numbers of refugees to your state from Somalia without considering the impact on schools and communities and taxpayers. We will always protect American families first," Trump said to jeers from the crowd.

Estimates place the Somali population around 50,000 in the Minneapolis area. Among the Somali-Americans residing in the Minneapolis area is Rep. Illhan Omar, a first-term Democrat. Omar has been a frequent target of Trump and his supporters. At previous rallies, the crowd has chanted "Send Her Back."

"How the hell did that ever happen?" Trump said about Omar's election. "Congresswoman Omar is an America-hating socialist."
True
"President Trump's hate rhetoric places the entire Somali community in Minnesota and nationwide in danger from the growing white supremacist movement that looks to him for validation and encouragement," said CAIR's state of Minnesota Executive Director Jaylani Hussein.

#3 CAIR has deep connections with the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah and Hamas. It should have been long shuttered and their offices and properties seized.

Members of the Minnesota branch of the Muslim American Society were investigated for antisemitic rhetoric. Some fine residents of Minnesota have traveled to Syria and Somalia, some have actively funded and supported the Al Shabab in various ways. It's safe to assume they all love the US like a cancer loves its host.

One of these could be from Minneapolis. Worse, he'll be coming back to vote !

#4 "Send Her Back."

She and her family are eligible. They arrived via false declarations (bribed) of being relatives of those picked for refugee settlement.

#5 "Leaders in Washington brought large numbers of refugees to your state from Somalia without considering the impact on schools and communities and taxpayers. We will always protect American families first," Trump said to jeers from the crowd.

Any jeers from the crowd were directed at those who placed 50,000 Somalis in Minnesota.
That would be the Dems trying to expand their voter base.

#8 That'd be the appropriate response, chris. Unfortunately your current HoR's almost full of malapproriates.

#11 #7 Gaza

It's a shame with all that prime beach front property and the Mediterranean climate that Gaza is not richer than Monaco. I can only guess that it has something to do with the people who live there.

#14 As you'll know from previous posts...

Migrants who earn less than the average wage harm the economy.

Of those few that work probably 99% of Somalians earn less than average.

There was zero economic reason to import them.

#15 CAIR has deep connections with the Muslim Brotherhood,

Just as Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood in the Palestinian Territories, so is CAIR — along with several other organizations — the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S.

#16 IN San Diego we determined that they were creating a tribal kleptocracy, with a large number of the males getting jobs as taxi drivers to both scout, transport stolen goods, and fleece the tourists. They offer nothing of value beyond virtue signaling for idiot bureaucrats as near as I can tell. When my partner and I approached a DHS senior intel analyst in 2007 about why they were still being allowed in, her response about their melanin content said it all,,,
