RR Watch - Ann Corcoran: In first six weeks of FY2016 we resettled 827 Somalis; all but one are Muslim - Resettlement of Somalis, which we have been bringing for over two decades (once a resettlement starts it doesn’t end) and dropping them off in your states. Top five ‘lucky’ states are Minnesota, Arizona, New York, Ohio and Texas!

As I mentioned in my post this morning on governors, while we are going crazy over Syrian Muslims coming into the US, the beat goes on with the resettlement of Somalis which we have been bringing for over two decades (once a resettlement starts it doesn’t end) and dropping them off in your states.

Top five ‘lucky’ states are Minnesota, Arizona, New York, Ohio and Texas.

Here is a map showing where the first 827 Somalis have been resettled since October 1 (the beginning of the 2016 fiscal year). Last year the total was around 8,858 (well over 100,000 now)  Why?  Why are we still bringing in Somalis at this high rate?  

And, by the way, we are picking up Somalis all over the world and there is no data on them either!  Tell me how you vet someone who has “made his way” to Indonesia or Malaysia? Or, to Malta for that matter after launching from Libya?
