Timiofak:Let’s be honest, there are people who have been on different path of Legal Migration and have stayed about 16 years with USCIS and NVC.. why is the focus only on illegal migrants while Legal migrants keep on being punished?? 1 Like |

Timiofak:Republicans built on racism while They are the ones that stood against slavery and ended it while the Democrats were supporting slavery.. don’t shoot down someone’s else view just because of their Race, Gender or Political view.. listen to both sides opinion and understand their point of view. Democrats are not right in everything, Republicans are not right in everything.. The USA needs both side of the divide to ensure it becomes stable and continue growing, if You follow all democratic policies, the US economy will crash in less than 50 years, the same thing will happen if the US follow Republican policies alone.. I always prefer one side win the White House while the other one wins one of the houses in congress to ensure checks and Balances 3 Likes 1 Share |

raumdeuter:False premise. Nigeria has one of the most appalling doctor to patient ratio in the world. The country is said to have an estimated 40,000 doctors for a population of 200 million.
The case of engineers is even worse than that of doctors. Brain drain has rendered Nigeria practically without competent engineers needed to develop the country. I read the story, and according to my comprehension, I don't see how the guy will join those developing America. From the story he got a scholarship from a patriotic Nigerian to study for PhD. He will pay well over $100,000 to the US economy (with $75,000/year for tuition alone). The issue is what happens after the PhD programme? If it was Trump, he would be deported back to Nigeria to use his PhD to develop his country. But Biden might want to use his skills to develop America.
It is not that Nigeria does not need him, the problem is that Nigerian and the black race in general lacks the foresight, planning, sacrifice and cohesiveness necessary for progress. Just like you and most people on this topic supporting brain drain and cracked down on immigration at the same time, they are short sighted, selfish and self hating. They are happy at the current state of their country, state, village and even family (extended). So you are suggesting Nigeria should stop wasting money training and educating it's citizens? Maybe the government's both federal and state should hands of education and sell of the universities. That will actually show Nigeria does not want people like Emmanuel Nworie. What will be the benefit to Nigeria and even Michael Taiwo if Michael Taiwo after getting his PhD decides to stay in the US to develop their country, and never coming back to contribute anything to the country and people that gave him the opportunities to succeed?
It's not a matter of black vs white, it's a matter of promoting group interests. It makes sense to promote your family, clan, tribal, country and race interest for your own long term interests. Blacks are the only race I know that promotes the interests of other groups to the detriment of their own group interest, for short term personal gains. They are the only people I know that loathe and denigrate their own village people and ancestors but worships the ancestors of other races.
Skill and brains don't develop themselves, they cost money to develop. What i am saying is that if the US, Canada, UK and Australia wants best brains and skills, they should spend the money to train their own people like the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans do. But it's immoral to wait for poor nations to spend their meagre resourcing developing brains and skills only for them to steal them. In the alternative they can invest in Nigeria and poor countries by funding their universities. They would then have the moral justification to take them after they become skilled. 3 Likes |

Powell in WSJ Op-ed: “I Truly Believe that We [the Rich] Will Emerge from this Crisis Stronger and Better, as We [the Rich] Have Done so Often Before” by Wolf Richter • Mar 19, 2021 • 109 Comments Gimme a break, will ya?

TEODIN:@bold,I beg to disagree America is far too divided to have a divided government nothing will ever work.Let the judiciary and people do the checks and balances.I feel for people who split their tickets in elections they are only doing themselves harm because government will never function or work steadily with a divided government because the opposing sides will do everything to bring the other down even if it means crumbling down the executive.The current GOP never checked on Trump while they had a United Congress and Whitehouse do not expect them to do same for the American people or have their interest at heart.They were never going to support the Biden covid relief bill so don't think they will do so now or support anything the Biden administration proposes.Thank God they lost the Senate they would have killed the Biden agenda. I don't understand how people split tickets in elections not just in America if you want your government to work pick one side or if you sit on the fence and pick both nothing will get done.The GOP is far too toxic and far right to act in anyone's interest even if it will benefit their constituents we saw it in the relief package they opposed the bill never voted for it but some GOP senators and reps wanted to take credit for it because they know it will get to their constituents when they themselves never thought of their constituents before voting against it no wonder we call them the GQP.A divided government does not work or bring about checks and balances that is a pure lie it only cripples the efficiency of government in delivering for the people because the other side will always play politics instead of governing.Also today's Republican party is what the democratic party once was so the guy did not lie did he when he talked about them being racist because white supremacists now back their Party today so what does that tell you? It is actually Republicans who ruin the economy and Democrats come right back to build it even Trump said it himself.No wonder Obama started with a recovery act from the recession and now Biden is starting with a rescue plan from the pandemic and battered economy so saying democratic policies crash the economy has in no way been true recently but same cannot be said Republicans 3 Likes |

Ladyhippolyta88:Trump's health is in free fall since he was humiliated out of office. The dementia that killed his father Fred in 1999 is taking a toll on him and it's medically proven that dementia is hereditary. It's either the jail cell in Upstate New York or dementia that's going to put the morbidly obese Pig to the hell he deserves. 2 Likes |

TEODIN: This is misguided, complacent and sloppy. Current iteration of the Republican party has nothing to offer but tears and should be obliterated for America's health. Complacent and sloppy because The North ended Slavery while the South wanted it to continue. Those for Slavery/Jim Crow subsequently cross-carpeted into the Republican party when a prominent Southern Republican was pushing for such ideas, while those against Slavery/Jim Crow cross carpeted into the Dems. Where they stood at time of emancipation is arbitrary. All you need to know is that the South (currently Republicans) are the enemy while the North (currently Democrats) is your friend. 4 Likes |

Everyone knows this but what he is talking about is the current Republican party.A lot changed in history which is why blacks tend to vote democratic now(have you bothered to ask yourself why that is?)have you heard about the Dixiecrats and civil rights movement who championed it between the two parties since the republican party stopped slavery why did they not go further to champion civil rights which the democratic party supported in later years did you not read where he said the parties changed or where he talked about the Jim crow era.What they did in history does not suddenly eliminate the rascism and hate they are embracing now.He is correct you are wrong. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ladyhippolyta88:I understand your points but the both parties are toxic now and are now more about their interest instead of the interest of the people.. Even Bernie Sanders said the reason Pelosi and the house resisted Trump’s $2000 package was political reasons since they believed it may help him during the election, is that not toxicity?? I never said Democrats are bad for the Economy, I said we need both sides... I supported Elizabeth Warren last election which many people see as far left but I know that we need some Republican policies to ensure stability.. if you think running an open border, plus socialism is sustainable for 50 years then you are probably dreaming.. I probably will support Democratic Party in the next few election cycles because I am pro- free healthcare and anti- gun which the GOP is not in support of that does not mean they are my enemies and I have to hate them.. I still support their belief in the free market economy. I am not pro-party or anti-party, I am pro-policies 1 Like |

Why would enemies of the Republican party 200 years ago support the republican party today? the States republicans fought against for sedition are right now 50% of the Republican electoral college votes? doesn't that prove that republican party you claimed freed the slaves aren't the same one anymore. plain fact here if Eisenhower or Reagan contest in a primary election for the republican mandate today, they would both lose, that shows how far gone they are. Hell if Lincoln goes for a primary in the current republican party, he would lose landslide. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

TEODIN: H1 B as been reduced to nothing in the last 4 years. I believe we would start seeing more of it soon h1b is nice, it helps bring in students that just completed there education in America into the economy, instead of realising all of them back, thereby forcing them to get into fake marriages for green card, and not all of them would be lucky to get it thereby turning to illegals. |

TEODIN: I didnt even see this sef, this is a lie oooo it was after the election, Trump supported 2k checks, and it was when pelosi played mcconnel. I think December ending after the election And mcconnel wasn't going to pass neither. so shey you see those Republicans are serious at all. And free market is a joke There is nothing like free-market anywhere, any law concerning the economy, it has been lobbied by a company that is going to benefit from it, both democrats and republicans are guilty of that I don't believe in the so-called ”free market” it sounds good on paper and looks good, but humans would be humans, greedy ones would surely arise. There is always a way monopoly comes is I believe some things shouldn't be let to free market, or else it's full-blown anarchy We are seeing it in Nigeria right now Nigeria has one of the largest limestone resource Yet we have the most expensive bag of cement in the whole world why? One greedy ”capitalist” as gone to corner the limestone deport and gone for an 80 years lease. so I believe some sectors should be managed solely by the government. so you can call me 60% socialist. 1 Like
