FoxNews: Somali immigrants find growing acceptance in Minnesota
[link to www.foxnews.com]

FARIBAULT, Minn. – One afternoon in 1993, as Carolyn Treadway looked out through her house window, she caught the sight of a woman in a traditional Islamic garment practicing parallel parking between mobile cones beside Faribault's Central Park.

It was the first time Treadway, a retired teacher and Faribault School Board candidate, had come across a Muslim in Faribault, which was then about 90 percent white.

"I remember distinctly thinking, 'That person looks different than what I'd normally seen," she said.

---

The nonprofit news outlet MinnPost provided this article to The Associated Press through a collaboration with Institute for Nonprofit News.

Days later, Treadway learned about an expedition of Somali-American leaders from the Twin Cities who had come to Faribault to explore job opportunities for newly arrived refugees, people with limited English language skills and employment experience.

Soon after, the leaders found out about the town's meat processing plant, operated by Jennie-O, and news about job opportunities in the area spread. Hundreds of Somali refugees eventually flocked to Faribault for jobs the company had been struggling to fill after it had eliminated union positions and lowered employee wages.

The change opened up doors for new refugees, many of whom have made Faribault their home over the last three decades: working, raising their families and establishing small businesses in the city.

The influx of Somali immigrants has allowed the city of 24,000 — located 50 miles south of the Twin Cities, in Rice County — to avoid the fate of so many other towns in Minnesota and throughout the Midwest, places that have seen their populations stagnate or decline.

Yet the demographic change initiated by that shift didn't come without consequence, and it is only now, some residents say — after years of grappling with cultural and racial issues, and overwhelmed schools and social service programs — that those tensions are starting to fade away, as more and more native-born residents come to terms with the fact that Somali refugees are putting down permanent roots in Faribault.

Re: FoxNews: Somali immigrants find growing acceptance in Minnesota
When Treadway first moved from Kansas to Faribault more than four decades ago, Faribault was an almost entirely homogeneous white community, not much different from many towns across Minnesota.

That started to change in the 1980s, when a small wave of Cambodian refugees first made their way to Faribault to work at the Jennie-O processing plant. In the following two decades, a steady stream of Latino immigrants and Somali refugees arrived in Faribault seeking jobs at the plant.

The arrival of Somalis, in particular, significantly altered the city's demographics. In 2000, whites made up 90 percent of Faribault's population. Today, people of color make up more than 26 percent of the population, with African Americans alone accounting for 9 percent of the city's residents.

The change was even more dramatic in area schools. Today, students of color account for 53 percent of the student population at Faribault Public Schools, as detailed in a 2018 report by the Minnesota Department of Education.

Yeah those towns are literally terrorist hot-beds in the making.

Who the hell needs to invade anything when we just let them in with arms wide open?

Have any studies been done to see what effects these Somalis have had on the crime rates there in Minnesota?

I remember a while back that quite a few Minnesota Somalis had been caught trying to join ISIS.

Meat processing plant? In other words, they're making our food?

How safe does that feel?

Well, one woman is working hard to reduce improper parallel parking citations.

And she accepts a culture that is willing to let her drive.

Millions of Dollars are invested by soros and his puppets in the form of lobbying our govt to allow more illegal immigrants and refugees to turn the state blue. Remember when was the last time a republican president won the elections in the state? Back in 1980's when the state had surplus of funds, safest state in the entire country, Reagan won the elections in 1984.

Re: FoxNews: Somali immigrants find growing acceptance in Minnesota
Simple:

It is because Ephraim/German's settled in that region. Unless Ephraim goes back to Israel, God can't fulfill his promises, as the Canaanite/Edomite/Khazar/slight Judean's, are not an industrious people and can never prosper on their own.

Judeans/Edomites/whatever, desire the wealth of others.
German's/Ephraim, desired their yoke off his neck, and to be free to generate his own wealth.

Solomon's "golden age", was built on the backs of Ephraim. A "golden age" to the Judeans, is every other day to Ephraim.

So it is either be burned/the House of Joseph destroyed utterly, or go back and be a slave to the devils in Israel, so God can pat himself on the back and say "see, there is true prosperity in the land".

It is better to cease to exist to be, then for Ephraim to return to the land of torment.

Either way, Ephraim will be destroyed. Jacobs flesh ripped off and given to the heathen's, to even the beasts, so all is left is bone for Edom/Judeans to devour.

I mourn the day of my creation, for God is a wicked God, who only does wickedness to Ephraim, and only brings ruin to the House of Joseph.

From the depths of the Abyss, to even God's throne, there is no justice, righteousness or holiness, in the entirety of Creation.

From top down, bottom up, just a collection of self serving beings, created by a self serving being. Liars who benefit from their lies, and only strive to do evil.
