Erick Bennett can't conjure up an original thought or solution, so he resorts to the desperate "blame the immigrants" scare tactic. Sad.
-
@AharonHebert - Why should they be granted help from the state before citizens? They shouldn't. Plain and simple. The majority of them that come here are involved in gangs. They're criminals. Robbing, raping, assaulting, murdering. Do you read the news at all?
How many stores do you enter to see a somali working? How about you do some ride alongs with the PPD and see how many calls you respond to involving refugees?
-
@AharonHebert -Three out of four refugees typically apply to the city for welfare when they arrive, and many admit Maine's generous benefits are part of what attracted them to the area.
For the Somalis, finding work has proven difficult, as many of those who arrive have no job skills or speak little English. Somali women, especially, face a tremendous struggle finding employment after being raised in a culture where very few girls are even allowed to receive an education.

@AharonHebert I am glad that you think so highly of yourself that you can read my mind and tell that i am Neo-con. Wow you are genius.

Yes, we built the greatest nation on earth by attracting people from all over the world to come here who wanted to work and own property and be free, not to put them on welfare.

Let's make this very simple. Unless someone is a citizen or resident of this country, state and city then they are not eligible for assistance. There is one other state in the country now that takes refugees and that is Georgia. Let them go their. If we cannot afford to take care of our own people we cannot afford to take care of others.
