"So the Somalis got here because there was a Somali civil war in the early 1990s. The United States intervened in a limited way, and for doing that, got punished and a number of Americans died. It was famously publicized in a book and then a movie called Black Hawk Down, you may remember that, in which Somalia, Mogadishu, its capital, was described as the most barbaric place ever in the world. And so our obligation to bring in hundreds of thousands of Somalis arose out of that.
It's not an accident when the United States intervenes or backs an intervention somewhere in the word, you can be certain the people from that country will be living in your zip code within 10 years. And that's exactly what happened. Somalia is not a huge country—so we only have hundreds of thousands, so in other cases we got millions. And by the way, some have done fine, and some have done great. The Vietnamese did well, the Catholic Vietnamese did well. But whatever, that's how they got here, because of our foreign policy. So that's the first thing to know.
The second thing to note is when they got here, and it's not just the Somalis, it's every group that's imported as a refugee, they were given way more free stuff than any American citizen receives, period. And that would include housing vouchers, and food stamps, and supplemental income, of course, free education, free use of the emergency rooms.
By the way, if you are wondering how our health care system is doing, all the emphasis on health insurance, go to the emergency room sometime over Christmas and see what you see. Someone who works here at our company had a grandmother who wound up two nights ago in the emergency room with a broken hip and she spent two days in the hallway on a stretcher. They finally just gave her opioids to keep her from writhing because there was no room because it was so packed with refugees and other migrants, economic migrants. So basically our health care system, our health care system or hospitals, the place where you go when you're sick—totally destroyed by this last wave of immigration.
But if you're coming from Mogadishu, this is a massive upgrade. You may wait two days on a stretcher in the hallway, but at least you're getting medicine. They come here and the assumption is that they will somehow benefit the United States and be grateful for their time here.
But it turns out, this is a very obvious point, but it needs to be restated: that will only happen if they are required by their host country, which is us, to start establishing some loyalty and gratitude to the country. Thank you, America. I'm so glad to be here. This is my new home. I am now loyal to the United States. And this is considered totally unacceptable. Toxic, as they say. In fact, maybe a manifestation of white supremacy, because, and this is the critical point to know, the United States has lost the self-confidence necessary to import and assimilate people."
