The Eritrean Cultural & Civic Centre in Washington, DC is housed in a modest building near the city’s convention centre. Despite its name, it is less of a centre and more of a bar and restaurant where Eritrean cab-drivers, students and pensioners chat politics and chow down on lamb stews served on spongy “injera” bread. On its notice board are adverts from a shipping company, an immigration lawyer and a taxi firm seeking drivers. Eritrean flags hang from the ceiling and the walls are lined with trinkets from the country.
With roughly 170,000 African residents, Washington and its surrounding suburbs have, proportionately, the largest African-born population of any large city in America. Their numbers are still small: even in Washington, Africans make up just 14% of all immigrants, and 3% of the total population. But they are among the fastest growing. Between 2000 and 2013—the latest available figures—the number of people from sub-Saharan Africa in the United States more than doubled, from 690,000 to 1.5m. Since 1980 it has increased more than tenfold. Their experience reveals the successes of America’s unusual legal-immigration policies. Over time, their growing numbers may help to change what it means to be “African-American”.
The free migration of Africans (as opposed to the slave trade) has existed since the 19th century, when New England whaling ships picked up crew members from the Cape Verde islands. Even today, Cape Verdeans are among the most common African migrants in Boston and Providence. Since the 1980s, however, plenty more have joined. In Washington, DC, Ethiopians and Eritreans are the most numerous. In New York, Egyptians and Ghanaians are. Around Houston there are plenty of Nigerians. In Minneapolis there is a substantial Somali community.
And the invaders just keep coming with no end in sight all because of Obama the head sodomite just keeps bringing them all in illegally, even against a federal judges orders telling the sodomite to stop, but he just keeps ignoring any laws while he continues to enact his own set of laws as he seems fit and without any interference from our senate/congress. We are now living in almost a full blown tyranny and third world negro type Liberia dictatorship. The American people are nice and happy watching there ball games on Saturday and Sunday drinking there beers and eating there chips, completely oblivious as to there surroundings and whom is surrounding them, Our people are easy and ripe for the taking due to there lazy, arrogant, stupid, and ignorant ways,these people are truly fools. They are digging there own graves when this ugliness truly raises its head to murder white folks, and there will be nothing they will be able to do to stop it. just look at Zimbabwe and the white purge that has taken full root there. Look at what is presently taking place in that once harmonious living together side by side in peace with he black race in South Africa, white folks are being systemically being purged and in many cases being murdered by that savage race of barbaric animals. It’s so bad there now the white people have petitioned the European union for a return to there countries, they no longer feel safe in a nation they were born and raised, they live in fear daily of being savagely murdered by brute Marxist black beasts.. This my friends is banging on the door of every American right now. And now you know why the sodomite wants us disarmed, so we cannot protect our family and he wants us to be savagely murdered. the man is the son of satan and is very wicked.
If “our” government had any interest in actually serving the people of this nation and their interests, then ***ALL*** immigration would be halted for at least a decade, while our country recovers from the economic and social catastrophy inflicted upon it by the last 3 presidents and the federal administrations they have presided over.
But since that will not happen, it is reasonable to expect that, when things break badly, nearly all immigrants will suffer dearly for the unfortunate consequence of having come to America at the wrong time. Some will deserve it, but the vast majority will not. Such events will only add to our shame as a nation, and compound the Judgement which is already coming to us.
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
it ‘s the last four presidents. Regan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr. and the sodomite. And you are right it will go very badly for these illegal aliens as well as the Islamic terrorists Obama has brought in illegally to murder and be-head us.
Actually, that’s 5 presidents, not 4. And if you’re going to count Reagan then you’d sure better count Carter…
Right?!?
Seriously, how far back do you want to go?
FDR wasn’t even the start of it ‘all’…
But fact is, Clinton (and the congresses he presided over) made a lot of changes to immigration policy and enforcement, both by exec.ords and by bills that passed all the way through the process -- many of which are the precursory elements of the current problem ( i.e. we couldn’t have these problems without those Clinton-era changes).
Thus I chose him as the starting point of the current deformation of our federal posture and policy on immigration, not considering any other matter whatosever.
i believe the major changes were made in 1965 under Chappaquiddick Teddy Kennedy the murderer and we thank God that he took his evil life , but it was him who changed our laws from the start and it was his original house bill that opened the flood gates for the third world excrement.
