Why does the U.S only want Somali refugees?

[Twisted_Logic]

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Somalia is currently one of the worst place to live in. Dadaab Refugee camp is the world's largest camp and Millions of Somalis are in danger of mass starvation. Who wouldn't want a Somali in their country?

DRC went through alot though.

Somalia is currently the world's worst humanitarian crisis. It is out of sympathy that others are helping, reading this help as being driven from an ulterior motive is simply a conspiracy theory.

Explaining the reason of resettling Somalis to the US, Katura said Somali refugees have failed to integrate with other refugee groups living in Nakivale and with the local communities because of their unique language and culture

[Salahuddiin]

Somalia is an muslim country that is about to become an only islamic state existing at this moment. They are afraid and that's why they are putting extra effort on Somalia, just like they are recently concentrating also a lot on Yemen because that's another weak country that could be taken over by "radicals". They know that poverty and destruction often makes people turn more into religion, just like happened in Somalia during the civil war, so that's why they are combatting political Islam also from this aspect.

It's easier for them to take thousands of poor muslims to their country and brainwash most of them to believe in democracy and liberalism than to leave them to a refugee camp where many of them most probably would turn into political Islam.

And when an ignorant and poor illiterate miskiin who has lived all his life in absolute poverty and in the middle of a war comes to a peaceful west and sees all the luxury, in his mind this is a result of their ideology while the destruction and poorness he saw in his own country is because of Islam, while in reality the humiliation we are living in is a combination of lack of Islam and tyrannical non-islamic regimes supported by the west in order to keep muslim masses down.

When I'm using phrase like political Islam it doesn't mean that this is an extension to Islam that doesn't belong to it, because Islam is a religion encompassing all aspects of life and it also offers full political system for muslims. But this is an aspect of Islam that west fights against because it's a threat to their world dominance. They allow muslims to keep their prayer, fasting and few other insignificant things to them but when there's someone who wants to practise his religion fully then he becomes an enemy to them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Well said. If the west truly had a humanitarian attitude, Africa wouldnt be in the condition it is in now. Ofcourse, they are only looking out for themselves and their country; something somalis have no interest in and will never feel . Qabyaalad uun isku mashquula, let's see where that takes you .

Great stuff. Only..err..erm..they couldn't turn you into a liberal!

Oh! This is a Voltage topic? No wonder I felt suffocated by the studenty stench. Why take 6000 Somalis? Why indeed.

[Cinque Mtume]

Why?

Because the US want these refugees to breed exotic Somali girls for the American population.

What Americans want from them exactly, I'll let you figure that out.

Lets send Voltage on a wild goose chase. Here are some links to keep him occupied for a few weeks.

good question.

too many assumptions can be made, but lets be realistic, ANY host nation would prefer their immigrant community to be a pathetic bunch distracted from real life. furthermore this pathetic bunch are GOLD if their distraction amounts to the neglect of their offspring, and now diamonds are those who have no real means to reach/interact with their roots, so they end up being detached from their root and entranced by their adopted location. Those we call 2nd generation Somalis

3rd generation will bring in stuff we do not normally associate Somalis with, cross-dressing, kissing in public, atheist etc

Black people are good for any consumer economy, they just like to spend without thinking they could afford it, perhaps that’s why. In contrast, Asians just work and save everything.

[rashid22]

blame it on Ayan Xersi.

[shaamboo]

Maybe it has to do with the fact Somalia is the only 99.99% Muslim country in Africa with a single culture and language, largely illiterate nomadic people sitting on a very prized strategic land with ginormous amount of unexploited mineral and natural resources.

Maybe this is a motive.

its Somali bantus..not real ethnic somali's who are being taken to america.

Identified by the US government as suffering a persistent pattern of physical abuse and racial discrimination at the hands of lighter skinned Somalis, Somali Bantus, whose ancestors were kidnapped and brought to northern Africa as slaves from southern Africa 200 years ago, have been given a fresh start abroad.

In all more than 12,000 will leave refugee camps in Kenya where they found safe haven after fleeing tribal war and persecution in Somalia for American cities over the next year and a half.

[Hyperactive]

and also arabs prefere somalis than any other nationality.
even the iqaama low is too easy for somalis at least where i live.

schools for free until high school and even universities and colleges somalis get scholarships through somali embasy and other scholarship just foe being somali and nothing special.

i believe because somalis wa is ka dad iska rer gura ah and have no cause or gaols.

wah loga baqo ma jirto in ternms of security.

Abdisamed it is Somalis, the Somali Bantu are in Kenya and have all been taken.

Continue the discussion guys, it is very interesting.
