Well..Well..Well... It's true that somalis are munchers and love welfare!

I've worked with Somalis and traveled to Somalia in different capacities for many years. There's actually differences within their communities based on tribe. The most successful ones come from Northern Somalia, currently known Somaliland which is very a peaceful and law and order prevail. It's former British protectorate mainly inhabited by Isak tribe. They are different from the bantus, hawiye, and darod clans from the south of somalia which is a former Italian protectorate. That's where the pirates come from. Their culture has been greatly changed by the Italian mafia culture. As you know Italians also love welfare, mafia, and are corrupt. Many those who immigrated from Somalia in the 90s and after came from tribes in the south. What did you expect they would do when they came here?!

Our generous welfare state rewarded them their "gimme, gimme, gimme" corrupt culture.

One more historical note, we always had Somali communities since the beginning of the 20th century. Many came from british Somaliland lived here. But they were Isaks and had jobs and maintained stable families. But now that we have bantus, the hawiye, and darod folks from Somalia you will see whole communities where women with kids declare they have no husbands. In fairness somalis back home abhor having kids out of wedlock, or bastards. But because it helps them get more money from the welfare state women with children say the husband left them. BTW.. He's living with her! When she is pregnant she will her boyfriend impregnated her LOL.

To be frank, the culprit is the british welfare system. Don't end it, mend it!!!
