A lot of Somalis prepared themselves for this and went to Uganda to get refugee cards (they were giving out Ugandan refugee passports) and then went back to Kenya or wherever they live.

If trump gets re-elected consider this program finished he will scrap it
Supposedly it’s because it’s so easy for Somalis to come up with fake identity due to no govt records. Because of that they don’t know who is terrorist or who is actually person in need. It’s sad because many other people coming to America and Somalis missing out
A have been hearing of this programme, I think they just got to its phase 2.
Americans can sponsor refugees directly under new program
Groups of Americans will be able to directly sponsor refugees for resettlement in the United States under a new program announced on Thursday, a major shift that could bolster admissions and reduce government costs.www.reuters.com
People have been telling me its been causing all sorts of messs, such as Indian going all the way to the Kenyan/Ugandan refuugee camps to falsely secure a refugee status and then applying for the US programme, these people can just bribe their way into the long waiting lines and just shack at a hotel accomodation (as you need to stick around for some weeks before you get your refuugee status).
Fleeing Somali people are essentially cut out or consigned to the back of the que.
Phase 2 started like a year ago. Feeling I get as well, so many people applied and getting hopes up for family members back home. I have yet to see 1 somali family but thousands of Ukrainians in Minnesota and other races

At least with democrats there is slight chance some make it who have paper trail in places like Uganda Kent and Ethiopia. With Trump will be 0% and probably a lot of folks who hopped over border getting deported. Crazy times Somalis in for rough time if Donald comes back
Yes, I have heard of similar sentiments too. A friend of my cousin was planning on going through that route but got frustratred while in Kenya waiting for his refuugee status, and eventually decided to just settle in Kenya, alhamdulilaah he is doing well and last I heard was at least going to school.
The situation is bad in Jubaland, I just keep hearing people leaving.
Forget about Jubaland and regional states
every village and corner in Somalia has had an exodus
The new people that are in city are mainly young men who hopped border. Basically flew to South America and trekked to Mexico border and asked for asylum. Many have paper work for now and are working but ain’t looking good for them if Trump wins. Lots of uncertainty.
But yes everyone trying to leave and it’s hard. Only avenue lately seems marriage. Families should do more arranged marriages because I see so many people single in 30s and even 40s. It’s win win more families with closer roots to Somalia that won’t be white washed and also more people can send money back home.
