Saturday was a busy day terror-wise. A bomb went off in New York City, about which there are still questions regarding the perp and motives. Another explosive went off in New Jersey along the route of a 5K run that celebrated US Marines.

But there is no question about the attacks in St. Cloud MN where an as yet unnamed Muslim stabbed nine people after quizzing at least some of them about their religious affiliation regarding Allah.

ISIS claimed him as one of theirs on Sunday, but the guy was in no position to argue since he had been shot dead by an off-duty cop during the Muslim’s stabby spree.

Minnesota has been inundated by Somali Muslims, who are among the most backward newbies ever, plus they are top jihad returners to the homeland. So why does Washington continue to import Somalis when they don’t like the country or its inhabitants?

Minnesota has struggled for years trying out various strategies to get Somalis to assimilate to American values — expensive youth outreach, make-work social programs, even a basketball coaching scheme for one jihadist that failed — but the Africans have shown zero interest in wanting to acculturate. They prefer their Islamic values of jihad, polygamy, Islamic supremacism and misogyny. A filmmaker interviewed Somalis in Minneapolis last year and most openly rejected the Constitution and embraced sharia as their core belief.

Liberals like Obama say America should repeal the Second Amendment if it would “save one life.” Meanwhile his open borders and Syrian Muslim immigration jihad have caused many American deaths and will likely kill more.

Minnesota resident Pete Hegseth appeared on Fox News Sunday morning and agreed with Donald Trump that it’s time to hit the Pause button on diverse immigration.

How about a really long pause, say maybe a century?

TUCKER CARLSON: A man shouting Allah goes on a stabbing rampage inside a Minnesota shopping mall. Did the refugee crisis caused this? We will connect the dots with Pete Hegseth. He joins us just ahead. We’re bringing back a Fox News alert this morning. Eight people were stabbed in a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, last night by a man shouting Allah as he asked his victims if they were Muslim.

ED HENRY: Fox News contributor and US Army vet Pete Hegseth was in St. Cloud just yesterday. He joins us live now from Minneapolis. Good to see you Pete, certainly not under these circumstances, when you see what is clearly a terror attack on the ground in Minnesota. What are you hearing there? What are people saying?

PETE HEGSETH: I was there for a football game later on that evening. There was this attack — listen, what’s happening in Minnesota is a microcosm of the refugee concerns in America. There’s large swathes of Somali Muslims who have come to Minnesota over the last number of decades. There’s no real understanding of how many. Many of resettle throughout Minnesota — Rochester, Minneapolis and St. Cloud — a significant populations upwards of 10 or 15 percent of the population in St. Cloud now. A lot of tensions and there has not been the amount of assimilation a lot of Minnesotans have wanted.

So there’s a concern that this population could do something just like this. The FBI director a couple of months ago said that literally about the Somali population in Minnesota: there’s a terror recruitment problem and that community is in denial. And a lot of Minnesotans — I can speak for folks here — there’s been this abiding concern that something like this might happen eventually. Unfortunately it did in St. Cloud it appears, although we don’t know the identity exactly of the attacker, and with the places like the Mall of America and others here in Minnesota those fears continue.

CARLSON: So that refugee resettlement didn’t happen accidentally; it was federal policy and the upshot has been to turn your state from a peaceful state, famous for its niceness, into a place where there are more terror plots foiled than in any other state in the union. What was the point of this? The US government is supposed to act on behalf of the country. What was the point of this resettlement?

HEGSETH: The point of this was open arms, no matter what. It was open borders. It was the view of the world that the left has. Lutheran Social Services here, one of the resettlement groups, has just committed to bringing as many as possible with open arms. I mean, Minnesota’s a welcoming place and always has been, but if you’re not going to assimilate and become a fabric of the state, that’s when people start to have very real concerns.

And no state has sent more people to go fight with al-Shabaab and ISIS than the state of Minnesota, and so it’s about time we stand up start asking questions — hey, we need these folks to assimilate, we need to make sure there’s allegiance, we’ve got to track these radical mosques, we’ve got to have maybe a pause on this program, and yet our leadership here in Minnesota, Governor Mark Dayton, tells everyone who has a concern that, well, you’re just un-Minnesotan and you can leave the state. The reality is we’re just want to make sure that anyone comes here is a part of that fabric, and we don’t know how much it costs, we don’t know how many, and we certainly can’t track allegiance at this point.

HUNTSMAN: You don’t look any further than Europe to look at their immigration laws and what they have dealt with over the past even 12 months there because of their lax immigration laws, and you see that creeping into this country now. What can we do about it? What do we do so we feel safe so in a place like Minnesota, as Tucker was saying this lovely place, that most people normally feel safe there aren’t on edge?

HEGSETH: Get our hands around refugee resettlement programs and Minnesota literally has no idea how many Somali Muslims are here because you have secondary migration and then there’s not a lot of tracking of where they live necessarily. So when Donald Trump talks about extreme vetting, when Donald Trump says we want to know who’s coming into our country, he is on to the pulse of many Americans and Minnesotans who say, Hey they’re not sending refugees to the gated communities of the elites, they’re not sending refugees to Washington, DC, they’re not sending them to Summit Avenue in St. Paul. They’re sending them to the rural communities and elsewhere where they’re left to deal with it and the citizens are saying, hey this isn’t going very well. Another problem here in Minnesota — big welfare magnet, and so you get a lot of folks coming here because of the generous benefits.

CARLSON: Was there ever a vote on this? Isn’t this supposed to be a democracy? Did you as a Minnesota resident ever have a chance to weigh in? Was the population never consulted about this, ever?

HEGSETH: Of course not, never. And no real sense of who’s coming and how many and so you’ve got city councils and others overwhelmed and that’s where you get a lot of consternation. Again, it’s elites telling us this is something we need to have, and then the folks on the ground saying, wait, it’s time to hit Pause. Donald Trump is right. Let’s hit Pause and figure out who’s coming here because they are committing terrorist acts.

CARLSON: It’s what suicide looks like.

St. Cloud authorities noted a short while ago that actually nine people had been stabbed.
