Ann Corcoran of the blog Refugee Resettlement Watch sent me an email suggesting that I look at a local newspaper series on problems with Somalis in another Tyson’s Foods, locale, Shelbyville, Tennesse. I did and I had an attack of deja vu. Its the Emporia, Kansas story writ large with another group of Somali meat packers employed by who, why Tyson foods of course. Tyson is in a class action suit by meat packing plant workers in Shelbyville for hiring illegal Hispanic immigrants as workers depressing their wages. So to comply with federal rules, Tyson brought in, Somali legal refugees to substitute for the illegals. What they got was the same unassimilable cultural attitudes from these “tough foot soldiers of Islam” and the outbreak of contagious diseases like TB and HIV that we witnessed over in Emporia, Kansas, another Tyson Foods, ‘hot spot’. This Times-Gazette piece is obsessively politically correct deferring to the usual hand holders of these Somalis-Catholic Charities and local Diversity Council, reps. What I found disingenuous was the reporter falling for the line about these Somalis being Bantus-despised slaves in Somalia -a scam used by Somalis to gain entrance under our humanitarian refugee program under the guise of being ‘extremely vulnerable persons’ as reported in a study by the Center for Immigration Studies back in 2003.

It is well nigh time that Congress took an abiding interest in this problem of a ‘broken’ humanitarian refugee program and brought the whole thing to a screeching halt. After all our State Department through the Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration, pays tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to have these Somali Jihadis become US citizens. Meanwhile, the UNHCR prevents the admittance of valued US allies like Iraqi Christians threatened with death by Muslims there into the US. That’s a scandal.
