Foreign AffairsThe US Has Issued A Visa Ban On Ghana For Failing To Accept Deportees by Blindersoff(op): 11:44pm On Feb 01, 2020
https://cms.qz.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/RTS23RVB.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=1600&h=945

Applying for a US visa will no longer be a straightforward process for Ghanaian nationals, for now at least.

The US department of homeland security (DHS) and department of state has issued visa sanctions on Ghana owing to its “lack of cooperation” in accepting its citizens ordered removed from the US. In a statement, secretary of homeland security Kirstjen Nielsen said Ghana has “denied or unreasonably delayed accepting their nationals ordered removed from the United States.”


As a result, the US has initially placed unspecified visa restrictions on certain categories of applicants from Ghana until cooperation on removals improves “to an acceptable level.” However, should Ghana fail to comply with the removal orders, DHS says the scope of the sanctions could be imposed more broadly.

Ghanaian citizens, a former British colony, are big fans of the American dream. In 2015, one of the most recent years for which data is available, Ghana, with 1.73 million people, accounted for the highest number of applicants for the US diversity visa program also known as “green card lottery”. Those applications would account for 7% of the country’s 25 million population.


As the US continues to tighten its immigration policies, its immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) officials have been handed more powers to arrest and deport immigrants following the signing of two executive orders by president Donald Trump.

But ICE’s operation still require countries of origin of deportees to provide travel documents to facilitate their removal. When those documents are not provided, ICE faces the possibility of releasing the immigrants as the US constitution does not permit indefinite detention of prospective deportees.

For its part, Ghana’s US embassy has previously noted that the US was not providing it with enough paperwork and following due process to show that the intended deportees were indeed Ghanaian. In an interview with Ghanaian media during the United Nations General Assembly in September, Baffour Adjei Bawuah, Ghana’s ambassador to the US said the embassy had “difficulty just endorsing, as it were, a documentation when the embassy wouldn’t even have a basic information about the people who are being deported.” As such, “to just be given names and asking for proper documentation for them to be deported was a bit tough for any embassy,” he added.


Trump’s homeland security department has been attempting to match the president’s aggressive migrant rhetoric with policy tweaks that could help accelerate the expulsion of illegal migrants while also restricting entry of new ones. In 2017, ICE removed more African migrants than any other group, even as overall removals fell.


It’s not the first time the US has issued similar visa restrictions on African countries. In 2017, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Eritrea were all issued visa restrictions for failing to comply with removal orders for nationals. The restrictions ranged from tourist, business, exchange and student visas for government officials and their families. Eritrea was the worst hit though as all its nationals were disallowed from applying tourist B visas.

This is time to think of how help will get to Nigerians in Wuhan and not for finger pointing...

Thanks
Wuhanperson for reminding us of our people in Wuhan that needs help,
I care less of your intentions for putting up this post...

Next time, try to post with fact but for now, this your post is very necessary even without proofs...

Government and capable individuals,
Please help out biko...

If they carry another person corpse,
It will look like they are carrying bundle of firewood...
He claims there are over 50 Nigerians in Wuhan yet he has dropped no single name of one person.

Is the government going to verify or evacuate ghosts or people?

In my attempt to make this easier for him i have been able to get pictures of lots of the black community in the wuhan christian fellowship he obviously wants me to believe he is a part of.

I am ready to paste them here and he can then identify himself assuming he is in any of the pictures. He may think he is successfully keeping his ID a secret but in this situation he is not helping himself at all.

He posted a twitter pic and i have asked him if that person is him and for the past one hour he is yet to respond. i have asked him 20mins ago to tell me how long he has been in Wuhan and he is still ignoring that question and you think anyone should or would take this person serious?

This post is just to reach out for help from the government bro,
even if he is lying or not,
We all knows what is happening in China and he never did anything bad by calling out to the concern bodies...

He has not asked for money yet,
Let's join hands with him to remind the government of our loved ones in Wuhan,
Maybe after this we will then scold who is necessary...
I really do not care if his ultimate aim is to ask for money. If that was his aim i would gladly help in a heart beat because anyone who would lie like this must be in dire straits.

However, if indeed he is soliciting for help from the Nigerian government then he needs to learn how to back up his talk with some sort of evidence.

Government is no joke and people should learn to respect that and get their shiit together before even reaching out otherwise you could get yourself in a much bigger mess than you bargained for

People like him are annoying. He's so ignorant yet claiming or acting to be intelligent. If I were in a country like China too, I'd be careful about putting my identity out there - especially as a black person. Even their own citizens are scared of speaking about this issue. He can't be that daft when it comes to foreign affairs.
You are the ignorant one. He is a black person in China (Allegedly) and you think he would not stick out like a sore thumb? He claims to be enrolled in a university in Wuhan and you still believe his identity is a secret?

The facebook page of the Wuhan international Christian fellowship is littered with pictures of practically all blacks or people of colour in the church. People from all nationalities who go there. With such information on their facebook page you still think his identity if he is part of them is a secret?

Some of you simply enjoy mouthing off from that hole in your heads which ought to have a functional brain in...But no... Alas no

You came here with a cry for help and in trying to help you escalate your alleged situation i demanded for some sort of evidence and the only one you provided was a 2016 fellowship flyer yet we are in 2020.

Incidentally the same flyer is on the wuhan international christian fellowships facebook page and posted in 2016.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Is this how you say you need help yet wish to remain a ghost?

He has proven absolutely nothing.

He lifted that Picture from the Wuhan international Christian fellowship on Facebook and then super imposed his moniker on it.

that poster was posted on the fellowship facebook page in 2016 and this is 2020

Why is he posting a 2016 picture if he is currently in Wuhan?

You’re the only person on this thread that echoed my thoughts, immediately I saw “privacy reasons” I stopped reading.

Maybe he/she have been antagonistic on this forum but with the situation on ground who cares?

You can’t come online to claim “Wuhan person” that needs help and at the same time trying to be private, if you really needed privacy then why did you bring your situation online?
You are very smart unlike many here who refused to jumpstart the jelly they have in their heads. Why claim privacy in the first place and come here to ask for help? Are we or the government to help a ghost?

What is the name of your university and what are you studying? Show a picture of your student card or some ID or take a pic of yourself right now doing the peace sign or holding a paper with your moniker written on it standing by a wuhan sign or a sign verifiable from wuhan.

Feelings only come when evidence backs up a claim. The Child who was accused of witchcraft and rescued we saw evidence of his pictures when rescued and later updates about his current looks and condition.

In these days of social media. There is so much false news and so many people trying to get attention through fake reportage.

He should provide some form of evidence. is that too much to ask for? Or is his identity a secret or pictures of his Nigerian Passport showing his visa to China a secret if this is as real as he claims?

WuhanPerson:
Good day everyone,

I am a Nigerian student currently studying at one of Wuhan's universities. Due to privacy concerns i decided to open this account to describe the situation of Nigerians currently in Wuhan in the midst of the corona virus outbreak. This post was necessitated by the following false report attributed to our honorable Minister for information in the Nigerian media:

https://www.nairaland.com/5663594/16-nigerians-chinese-town-hit

1. Only 16 Nigerians in Wuhan?

The total number of Nigerians in Wuhan to my recollection currently stands at over 50 people. We have been able to coordinate ourselves, and support each other in this trying period.

2. We Don't want to leave?

This statement is the bone of contention, and has caused panic in the Wuhan Nigerian community. The Nigerian Population in Wuhan includes students, researchers, and Businessmen, many of whom are with their wives and children. These people are all at risk of getting infected each time they leave their place of residence to find food to eat or water to drink in a city that looks like a ghost town with supplies running out each day.

Right now countries that have successfully evacuated their citizens (South Korea, Kazakhstan, India, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Japan, Italy, Germany, Indonesia, etc.) have proven the possibility of evacuation without infection. So the question becomes why is our case different?

We are therefore pleading with the Nigerian government to please rescue us from this situation, as we are ready to appease their fears by:

1. Being tested and quarantined on arrival
2. Fund our travel expenses.

We are humans, people who are citizens of a great nation who do not deserve to be publicly sentenced to death by a country we are proud of.

Front Page please, and help us.
Anybody can claim to be anywhere. Show proof you are in Wuhan and not just writing a story making unverified claims.

I expected you to show proof of meetings or so called coordination taking place

If there is actual evidence to back up your claims with then it can be escalated and fast tracked

Congress is the legislative arm of our government and its job is to make laws. Congress is made up of two houses: the Senate (upper) and the House of Representatives (lower). Each state has two senators in the Senate. The number of representatives a state has is determined by its population. While the house and senate are similar, there are some differences.

house of Congresshuhhuhhuhgringrin

The United States Congress is the bicameral
legislature of the federal government of the
United States, and consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate . The Congress meets in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.

there is nothing like house of Congress. we only have house of representative and the Senate . stop disgracing yourself.

both chamber is what make up Congress. the Senate is never referred to as house of Congress
Keep on displaying your stupidity despite your own post clearly telling you same thing I said.

The US Congress is also known as HOUSE OF CONGRESS because they are THE UPPER CHAMBER while the legislatives are THE LOWER CHAMBER..

BOTH ARE HOUSES AND TOGETHER THEY MAKE UP THE CONGRESS

I will use images to explain to you since your brain is too dumb to comprehend written words.

Look at the attached screenshot.

Directly under United States Congress in small print what do you see? It is clearly written there "HOUSES"

And then under that is now the HOUSES split into Senate and Legislatives so dumb people like you would be able to understand.

Move far away from me with this stupidity you are so proud of flaunting
