"With Somalia, which is barely a country, you know, they have no, they have no anything. They just run around killing each other. There's no structure," Trump said.
that's an essentially correct claim. however, it's usually presented as a reason to help people get out, not a reason to box them in. the fact that it is true that somalia is struggling with the consequences of arabic colonialism and islamic imperialism isn't a very good reason to restrict migration from the region.
there are some africans upstairs that might be somalian. i didn't ask; it's a good guess. their kids are developmentally delayed, and they might be retarded. the kids are friendly, but they're eight to ten and act like three or four year olds, and they might destroy the place in the process. they don't go to school, but that's not their fault. i think the women got instantly hooked on crack but i'm not sure of that. they might have all grown up in a refugee camp. it's hard to point fingers at them. i'd rather try to help them.
it is reasonable to point out that immigration standards for migrants from that part of the world have at times been lax, due partly or largely to the difficulty in assessing people with such deep needs. they almost always come as refugees, and they're almost always a lost cause. you hope their kids thrive, but they often don't.
i would support more stringent entry requirements for east african migrants to canada, but blocking people off because they worn in a specific place is stupid and rounding them up is tyrannical.
