Refugee Resettlement watch:

This is the most exciting news I’ve seen in a long time. The New Somali President, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, visited Minneapolis on Friday with Omar Jamal in tow (more on him later) and asked Somalis to return to Africa!
Readers, this means that the pipeline of thousands of Somalis flowing from Africa to the US every year can now be stopped! And, reversed! Right!
From AP at the Edmonton Journal (emphasis mine):
MINNEAPOLIS – A day after the U.S. officially recognized Somalia’s government for the first time in two decades, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud called on Somalis living in Minnesota to help rebuild their war-torn homeland.
Mohamud spoke to about 4,000 people late Friday night at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Although most of his speech was in Somali, he said in English that it was, “the beginning of a new foundation.” [Who knows what he really said because it was all translated for the gullible press by Omar Jamal—ed]
Omar Jamal, first secretary of the Somali Mission to the United Nations, said the president thanked the crowd in Somali and asked that they help rebuild the country with an emphasis on security, the economy and judicial system — either by returning to Somalia or from their homes in Minnesota. Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the U.S. [that ‘from their homes part’ means sending money which became a problem when US banks were told by the feds to stop the practice in the wake of Minneapolis Somali ‘go to hell infidels’ trial—ed]
I hope they all go back to their country.
Somalis typically shun conventional banks and transfer money by the hawala system.
One thing for certain, no Somali will return from the US to Somalia until he has secured a US passport.
Yes, they must go back.
