Was There Anyone Wondering Why America Was Inviting People In The 80s? by Dtruthspeaker(op): 2:30pm On Aug 23, 2025
Was there anyone who was like me wondering why America was making so much noise, screaming America, America, and doing longer throat, drawing and tempting everyone to come to over there in the 80s?

Even at that young age I was wondering why they were doing that and I felt it was not normal.

Europe has always been there with all the things that Europe has yet, we never heard London shout nor Italy nor any other place. Only America.

And truly, I became more suspicious when suddenly we woke up and heard that America was taking whole families; even orphans, house boys and girls also went over there through what they called visa lottery.

Na now I understand say visa lottery is exactly like car lotteries which 7up used to do.

And as we even see, even 7up no do am plenty like it was only 10 cars (Jetta) or 20 cars (Daewoo Espero)

And for church lottery especially rich Catholic churches na 1 car dem take use take do lottery.

But America visa lottery was plenty and I confuse.

But now the thing don clear. Now that they have fulfilled their aim of corrupting the whole world now they are shutting the door and dem no won do again.

Infact Trump is now throwing out all those they had drawn and forced with plenty of enticements and promises to come to them. Now that they are bad andevil and useless to themselves and to their home nations.

Make we talk true, America wicked and na devil na im dey rule for dia.

With dis dem no go give me visa again. grin grin grin

Because I don talk dis one na now dem go give me. grin grin grin

But as I don talk dis one now, dem no go give me again cos dem know say I don know everything and how dem dey do. grin grin grin

Data says America has low birth rate
Europe too
Canada at a time
Japan now
South Korea
China'

Population is dropping. People are not giving birth like that.

So who would do the jobs in areas that the indigenes dont have enough workers and stimulate the economy.

Immigration had the role to play

I read some schools in America are shutting down

Trump claims to be deporting illegal migrants or those violating visiting or study visa rules or with crime or violence or misconduct records

Countries are becoming more stringent over who enters their country and stays

And I think most

It was in the mid 80s that their birth rates dropped and their families divided even more and lesser people got married while divorce increased.

And especially why they insisted on people losing their home and natural identity to becoming American.
Till today I am still shocked at seeing a Cheung Chan speaking like a full blooded New Yorker or an Indian speaking like one from Dallas.

Ghanaians, Cameroonians came here and no one stopped them from being who they are. So clearly, it was a propaganda

Leading to the question "why"?

And today, we can now see the why

America is a continent

They needed manpower and a work force

They had to import as they couldn't get domestically

Now they have so many applicants so they can choose
