The Wiki article says "estimated" 1100 immigrants which is kinda true. The first wave was about 1100. When another 1000 showed up and bankrupt the city's welfare system, heating oil assistance program and packed the section 8 housing and caused the crime rate to skyrocket, the mayor sent the letter to the Somali leaders telling them to discourage any more immigrants to Lewiston. Then the mamby pamby crowd got all pizzy and the demonstrations started. The Somali's and their supporters created a huge stink in the city that graciously hosted and kept them alive. They imagined injustice and screamed every turn. The white supremacist involvement is unfortunate but it does not take away from the root problem.
I bet there are a lot of dogs named Mohammed there.
If that is indeed the case then I'd support stopping immigration there. Were they legal immigrants? Just curious. Either way, blanketing a religion and taking petty shots at their god won't accomplish anything.
