A conservative state with poor public institutions and a shit economy is not really the best place for immigrants to settle, especially war refugees with big families. The Midwest & Great Plains are the top choices because they have solid institutions, good finances, and a constant job surplus. Forget Somalis, even other Americans are moving to the Plains for work and cheap living. I don't think refugees really care about the weather or weekend barbecues.

You should Visit Maxhuud from seattle while you are there.

Houston and Chicago are my personal must visit cities. That would conclude my visit to the four biggest cities in America. 8-) L.A And New York Have been Checked off.

He did a lot more than a single drug conviction to get banned by the state of Texas :lol:. Never trust a criminal :lol: I heard of people getting kicked out of cities and counties due to being always being in trouble and breaking laws and committing serious offences.

The dude probably had over 1,000 DUI's

Not just Texas, Somali men did that all over the country back in the 70s and 80s when their Visas ran out. After they would get their citizenship or green card or w/e, they would divorce these madow women and then marry Somali.

Some of my dad's closest friends had kids with madow women they were married to but sadly they aren't even apart of their kids lives. :down: At my University, there was a guy I met who was half Somali, half Trinidadian. His dad (Somali) wasn't apart of his life at all and passed away some years ago, his mom became Muslim though and she raised him with her 2nd husband who is Moroccan.

Reagan signed an immigration bill in 1987 that pretty much granted amnesty to those who were here illegally and that's when this trend ended
