Some of the Somalis are decent folk, but then you get the likes of Ilhan Omar and the Somali criminal gangs (same-same to me) in Minnesota who wreck things for the decent folk.
I knew a Somali from Berbera who had been a battlefield surgeon over there, but coming here he couldn't practice medicine because he couldn't get licensed... so he took on the most menial of jobs just to keep his family fed. You do what you gotta do. Last time I saw him, he was working (unarmed) security because he had battlefield experience - that was about the highest he was qualified to do here, rather than medicine. He was, at least, trying to get certified as a paramedic in his off time. A paramedic - no way he could get licensed for anything higher in the medical field despite his real-world experience.
Meanwhile, these bastards in Minneapolis are stealing tax money for free, and using it to fund al-Shabab when they're not just outright living the good life on our dime.
I guess the good doctor's politics just weren't the right brand to live high on the hog off of the grift. He preferred to work for a living, even if that work wasn't what he was trained for.
Piss on Ilhan Omar. If a useful doctor has to go, then a useless politician most certainly should have to go as well.
