Donald Trump came to Minnesota today and used his time to go after our vibrant Somali community. He spewed his hateful vitriol and insulted a group of Minnesotans that I am proud to represent every day in the United States Senate.

Elected officials need to be as good as the diverse people we serve.

Donald Trump is not worthy of serving our Somali-American community here in Minnesota, or anyone in our nation.

In a pitch to suspend the nation’s Syrian refugee program, Donald Trump said Minnesotans have “suffered enough” from accepting Somali immigrants into their state.

“Here in Minnesota you have seen firsthand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state, without your knowledge, without your support or approval,” Trump said at a Minneapolis rally Sunday afternoon.

He said his administration would suspend the Syrian refugee program and not resettle refugees anywhere in the United States without support from the communities, while Hillary Clinton’s “plan will import generations of terrorism, extremism and radicalism into your schools and throughout your communities.”

“You’ve suffered enough in Minnesota,” he said.

Minnesota is home to nearly one in three Somalis in the United States, according to 2010 American Community Survey data.


And this is my comment: 150 years ago he would have been telling the people of Boston they had "suffered" enough taking in all those Irish Catholics (especially those Fitzgeralds and Kennedys, and then there was my my mother's family.)
