I wasn't bothered enough to think too deep about it.

I think though that there's a resentment because most Nigerians specifically do very well and we thrive here like a water side yam tuber.

When I left Nigeria in 86 I have never set my eyes on a computer before and I actually came to the US to earn my commercial pilots license but once I discovered computers here then I switched majors immidiately.

Though I read on here of Nigerians washing "corpers" etc but we have a lot of Nigerians in very high places in the USA.

So my advice to folks is to keep their eyes on the ball.
Did you eventually get your commercial pilot license? And what are the chances for a Nigerian with a PR to be a pilot in the US?

most of our certifications in Nigeria require updating and/or starting over to be used there. Look up job openings on Google and see qualifications to answer your question.

[quote author=Babyvet post=70451819]This is for those who want to come here and hussle without proper planning.

In the video , a mother and wife is being deported back to Mexico after living in America for many years . She is married to a US veteran and has us citizen children . She was unable to legal status because she was caught crossing the border in the 90’s under the Clinton administration. She signed a form stating that she would leave and never seek residency in the U.S. The form she signed has prevented her from her getting residency and ended being deported. The worst part her husband voted for Donald trump.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWyff-zc18w[/quote

Back when she illegally entered the USA, she was clearly caught. Besides the document she signed, she was probably released and given a court date in which a judge would 99% of the time order her to be deported. Often the order was self deportation. More than likely she never showed up or that when she was released she did not follow the order. When someone is caught they are detained and processed by Border Security/ICE. If no prior criminal record, in the past, people were released. Nowadays people are not released. They are processed and then deported back to country of origin. Over the last 20 years border apprehensions have been anywhere from 1.7 Million to 400K annually.
Her case is rare though. People with deportation orders do get rounded up a little, the ones in the USA for 10-20 years, have kids, married etc.
ICE is primarily focused on gangs like MS 13 members, people with prior convictions, or people in jail that they want to deport as opposed to being let out of prison then they vanish.

Something like 77% of people being deported have criminal records. Once in the USA living illegally it is almost impossible to get a green card, rare circumstances.

Not true with this administration. All foreigners are targets. Even with green cards. Google and you'll find many without records being shipped off.

I can't believe floods like these happen in America, what is the main cause?

Depends where it is. The coasts can get flooding from tropical storms and hurricanes. Houston is it not high above sea level?

Inland most of the states have good storm sewers that direct rain to rivers, lakes, man made reservoirs, etc. In the USA a lot of rain water is captured by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and then down to New Orleans into the gulf. Western rivers same deal but it used to create lakes, which is why the Hoover Dam was built and of course for electricity. Part of the West get very little rain. Slow hurricane season this year because strong winds push push Saharan sand and dust, then the tradewinds send it to the American South/Caribbean areas. The large amounts of sand in the air diminish the formation of tropical storms over here.

If still referring to Western USA then yes snow falls here too but at higher elevations.

Feel free to share those news articles. If one gets convicted of a felony a green card holder can be deported for sure. It is even rare for someone who does not renew their green card to get deported. There is probably 15 million illegal residents in the USA. Can't track that many, impossible.

Why has melania not been deported? Did she not originally come in on an Einstein visa? Her parents recently became citizens. What value are they adding to the US? That is the chain migration Trump purports to loathe.
