The tribulation of the Somali immigrant

rayznack · Apr 7, 2017

Hey guys; I found this first person account by a Somali immigrant to Sweden. I must say his English is impressive and his Swedish must be even better.

Do you think this man's struggle in Sweden is representative of most immigrants?

Note: this is the story told to me by a Somali immigrant to Sweden. He wishes to remain anonymous lest he face retribution from the ubiquitous racism, nazism and ku-klux-klan operations in Sweden.

I was born a Somali immigrant to Sweden. At age 12, I began to swim upstream to Sweden, to leave the chaos and war and famine of Somalia. I had to do this, as I am an immigrant.

I made my way past Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Poland, and the Baltic States, up into Sweden. I could not stop in those poorer countries that don’t give benefits to Somalis, for you see, Somalia is poor, hungry and violent, and so I must enter Sweden and no place else.

Being so horribly racist, the man at the immigration office spat in my face, calling be a dirty Somali to go back where I came from. And so I was banned from entering Sweden due to their racism.

Once in Sweden, I faced a jeering mob attack me for the color of my skin. That is typical of Swedes. I told them, like it or not, the immigration office made me a Swedish citizen.

I then tried to find gainful employment. However, I was rejected at every job I applied to for having black skin. The business owners all said cruel and terrible things about me and “my kind”.

At my first day of work moving boxes in a warehouse in Helsinborg, my white co-workers tripped me, kicked me down, and played all sorts of cruel tricks on me throughout the day. They were mad that I got the job instead of their friends and sons. When in reality I got the job on my own merit, because I was a hard worker, as one must work hard in Somalia to survive.

They were mad at me for “taking their job”, but in reality, I do the jobs Swedes won’t do.

One of them told me I benefited from government-issued racial quotas. This was necessary for immigrants to get a leg up, as they start out disadvantaged. That is was good that I was discriminated in FAVOR of, so that I could get integrated into Swedish society.

These disadvantages are why Somalis must get additional benefits, and be allowed to keep them longer. When a widowed mother of 3 accusingly asked why I, a 33-year old single man, got more benefits than she did, and why I hadn’t gotten a job in my 4 years in Sweden, I explained that I was disadvantaged and discriminated against, despite being a very hard worker. And so to correct for the racism of Swedes, known for their racism, I needed these benefits more than her.

As for why I haven’t looked for a job, well, I feel Swedes are just too racist toward me, I don’t feel any connection. I explained this many times during my trips to rural middle and elementary schools, and they agree with me and how horrible it is. This helped me knowing I wasn’t crazy – the Swedes themselves recognized that they were racist against me and that it was horrible and that is why I need benefits and affirmative action.

So when you hear an anti-immigrant politician say such hateful things as muslims should only have their own countries, instead of having their own countries PLUS free access to white European countries, think of my story and what I have told you here.

The truth is that Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Germans, Dutch – these are all well-known as deeply bigoted and racist people.

And as for the Polish who want to close their borders, remember this: Hitler, as the head of Germany, killed around 40 million white people. Therefore Poland must take in replacement-level numbers of brown people like me.

Look at this logically. Look at this rationally. Be rational, be scientific, don’t be like those other people who disagree with me and thus explicitly state that they are opposed to rationality, science and logic. Vote for the Green Party that wants to replace national parks with people like me.

Don't know and to tell the truth don't care. Would suggest that if he keeps going north eventually he'll be back home...

Many had previous criminal convictions...

US Expected to Return 4,000 Somali Migrants to Their Homeland
April 08, 2017 - Somalia's U.S. ambassador says his embassy has learned that U.S. immigration agents are planning to deport about 4,000 Somali nationals now living in the United States.

"We learned through immigration sources that the total number of the Somalis that are in the books of [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] to be removed are close to 4,000," Ahmed Isse Awad told VOA's Somali service Saturday. "Most of them are not in detention centers." Since Somalia's embassy in Washington reopened in November 2015, the ambassador said, about 170 Somali immigrants who either ran afoul of U.S. law or had their asylum applications rejected have been deported to Mogadishu, the Somali capital. Most of those previously deported had applied for but been denied political asylum in the U.S., he added. Another group of Somali applicants whose requests for asylum have been denied are now in detention centers or prisons, awaiting deportation.

Somali immigrant leader Jamal Dar, right, who arrived in the U.S. two decades ago, hands out snacks to a boy at a community engagement and civic language class for former Somali residents at AYCO offices in East Portland, Ore.

Fewer than 300 Somalis are scheduled to be moved out in the next couple of months, Awad told VOA, adding that his embassy was awaiting information from U.S. authorities on who the deportees were and when they would depart. ICE agents recently arrested 82 people from 26 nations during a five-day operation in and around the U.S. capital. According to a statement from ICE, 68 of those detained March 26-30 had previous criminal convictions, for crimes including armed robbery, larceny and drug offenses. All but three were arrested in the state of Virginia.

Students walk home from school in Lewiston, Maine, Jan. 26, 2016. Since February 2000, more than 5,000 Africans have come to Lewiston; now, many Somali shops, restaurants and mosques serve the city.

One of those arrested last month, Awad said, was a 50-year-old Somali man who identified himself as second in command of Somalia's National Security Service. He had previously been deported to Somalia in 1996. "According to ICE, he came back to the U.S. in 1997 under a different name," the Somali envoy said. "In 2014, he was jailed for 11 months for forgery and drug-related crimes, and since then has committed several other felonies." U.S. immigration officials said eight of those arrested during ICE's end-of-March roundup had no known criminal records; they either had overstayed visitor visas or ignored final orders to leave the country.

Muslim worshippers pray inside a makeshift mosque above a convenience store and market that caters to Somalis in Fort Morgan, Colo., Jan. 8, 2016. Fort Morgan, a town of roughly 12,000 people, has about 1,200 Somali immigrants.

Some of the Somali nationals who already have been sent back to their homeland have told VOA and media outlets in Somalia they found a different and dangerous country awaiting them in East Africa. Since Somalia has lacked a strong central government for more than a quarter-century, many Western nations have refrained from forcibly returning Somali immigrants to their home country because of safety concerns. U.S. immigration policies have been tightened considerably under the administration of President Donald Trump, and such a clemency policy for Somali nationals is no longer being observed.

I think that that "man"s struggle is a made up load of **** propaganda piece for the left..

If it was that bad there he may as well stayed where he came from..

"When a widowed mother of 3 accusingly asked why I, a 33-year old single man, got more benefits than she did, and why I hadn’t gotten a job in my 4 years in Sweden, I explained that I was disadvantaged and discriminated against, despite being a very hard worker. And so to correct for the racism of Swedes, known for their racism, I needed these benefits more than her."

"As for why I haven’t looked for a job, well, I feel Swedes are just too racist toward me"

So he is a hard worker but doesn't even look for a job?

SCUM!!

Doesn't deserve a penny of welfare, deport him, he is obviously not of any benefit to your economy..

Outrageous..
